America is experiencing one of its worst crises in years. The Eagles are in the penultimate position in the general table of the Clausura 2022 of Liga MX and could be in last place if Santos Laguna beats Cruz Azul in their Matchday 7 match. The Eagles add a victory, two draws and four losses at the start of the season. His poor point harvest amounts to five points. To put into perspective, Puebla, in the same games, adds 17 units.
Throughout the week there was talk of the probable dismissal of Santiago Solari in the event of a negative result against Pumas at the University Olympic Stadium in Ciudad Universitaria. To this we would have to ask ourselves what kind of result is the goalless draw. In the first instance it would seem that the point taken in the territory of the UNAM as a whole is positive after the recent results of both squads.
However, shapes count. America still does not show an iota of collective play. This team has no idea. The defense kept zero in the background, but this was also largely due to the offensive ineffectiveness of Universidad Nacional. The Eagles showed no real improvement from their loss to Pachuca and Solari’s future with the capital’s squad remains in suspense.
Should the board continue betting on a technician who has not managed to print a stamp on his team in more than a year? How much can soccer in America improve if this has not happened during Solari’s entire administration? Is it time for a change in Coapa? These are some of the doubts that are lived within the Americanist environment. The answer is not very clear. Publicly, the board has given Solari its support.
There don’t seem to be many options on the market either. If Solari leaves, who would arrive in his place? The best options are committed to other teams and by regulation they could not lead in Liga MX during this season. The Liga MX Clausura 2022 tournament is close to reaching its first half. The results and performance shown so far definitely do not meet expectations.
More worrying still is that there is no progress in the team. America does not have a defined style of play. The reinforcements arrived late, were poorly planned and have not weighed. Their lines seem isolated from each other. The defense has been a real disaster this season. The midfield has not been able to consolidate and the attack, in general, lacks creativity and depth.
What should America do for the remainder of the tournament? The answer is not clear. But whatever the decision of the board, the immediate future does not look good for the Eagles in the short term.
