Atlas de Guadalajara has been the most consistent team in Liga MX for the past year. The red and blacks had a great performance in the Apertura 2021, a tournament in which they broke a 70-year streak without lifting the title. In Clausura 2022, the Foxes have kept up the hard work and winning trend and managed to reach the final of the competition. The present that the team led by Diego Cocca is experiencing is more than sweet.
On the contrary, Chivas de Guadalajara, his greatest rival, has been experiencing low hours for several years. The Sacred Flock continues without raising its face despite the different changes that its board of directors has carried out. while Atlas adds two finals in a row and a title, the rojiblancos, in the same period, were eliminated in playoffs and quarterfinals.
Questioned about the contrasting reality between Chivas and Atlas, the owner of the Flock, Amaury Vergara, was hurt by the good pace that the Red and Blacks have had in the last year and the poor performance that his club has had in recent years. The rojiblanco team has not lifted a title since 2017, under the orders of Matías Almeyda.
“Atlas is doing things well and although it hurts to admit it, he is the rival and you have to accept it. The only thing that inspires me is everything we are going to have to do to compete with them and be where they are right now”
– Amaury Vergara
In mid-December, after Atlas won its second Liga MX title, Chivas, through social networks, ironically congratulated the Foxes for lifting only their second championship in history.
