And although now the president Amaury Vergara You must find a replacement Ironit is a fact that, despite the arrival of new reinforcements and the casualties that may occur, some elements need to become the basis for what will be the Sacred Flock in Apertura 2024, that is, players who really weigh and feel true love for colors.

Roberto Alvarado
It’s more than clear. El Piojo has been the best Chivas player in the last two years, since he is the reference of the attack, the one who takes the team on his shoulders in the worst moments, having to be moved to different positions due to the importance of he. Despite being a right winger, Fernando Gago He even placed him as a creative midfielder, in order to provide balls to the other forwards, something that sometimes worked.
Although the Aztec World Cup player is a factor in the approach, he really needs reinforcements who can be at his level, who understand him to be able to generate more danger, since precisely the team’s biggest failure in the tournament came from the forward line.
Chiquete Orozco
Those who received a lot of spotlight in the last two months of the tournament were the Guadalajara defenders, since they allowed almost no goals, which led Chivas to remain undefeated for some duels, something that could not be repeated in the League in front of America. The growth of the youth squad has been more than evident, since he has even deservedly earned being called up to the Mexican team and to be, supposedly, on the radar of European teams, since they follow him closely from Italy.
Next to Gilberto SepulvedaChiquete did an excellent job, and he also knows how to play as a left back, which was also very helpful, after there was doubt about his Mateo Chavez. It is still unknown if he could really leave the club, but as long as he makes an appearance, there is no doubt that he is one of the bases at Tiba’s side.
Raul Rangel
Since the departure of Rodolfo Cota Many years ago, Guadalajara struggled to find a goalkeeper who could really provide security, going through Toño Rodríguez, Raul Gudiño and Miguel Jimenezuntil finally the youth player was given the title, who quickly convinced the fans with his good reflexes and interventions that put them in the semifinals.
Added to this, the healthy competition it has with Oscar Whalley They led him to grow, since many red and white fans also wanted the Spaniard as a starter after his participation in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Tala’s work was well rewarded, as he earned his first call to the Mexican team and not for any meeting, but to travel to the America Cup.
Erick Gutierrez
When he was signed by Guadalajara, he earned many boos, since his level was far below what was expected, however, he continued working and for this Clausura 2024 a better version was seen, which led him to be an immovable starter above of Victor Guzman. Guti earned the recognition of the Chiva-brothers and was even a factor in winning some duels with his assists and goals, in addition to sharing a lot of play and running from one side to the other.
Beside Fernando Beltran could stand out more and even, when he was injured in the semifinal against Americafor many it was evident that his presence was needed.
Ricardo Marin
Many criticize 4K for what happened in the semifinals, since they forgave twice in front of the goal. Luis Malagon. Some indicate that he does not have the quality to be the forward center of the Flock, but his job is not only to score, since he has also been able to contribute in other areas, such as pressure from the start, pulling the marks and having to get out of position. his position to be able to accompany the rest of the team in the plays.
It is clear that the former Atlante has become a key piece in Pintita’s approach, but he must improve his ability in front of goal to be able to take the club further. With the low level of Javier Hernandezthe prompt departures of José Juan Macías and Ronaldo Cisnerosas well as the few opportunities for youth Armando GonzalezMarín will have to carry the burden of being the ‘9’, unless the board finds someone else in this summer market.
