In the midst of a rarefied atmosphere due to the clashes last weekend in Querétaro, this Saturday, March 12, Chivas de Guadalajara and América will star in a new edition of the Clásico Nacional. The Liga MX authorities decided to continue with matchday 10 of the Clausura 2022 tournament despite everything: the risks, the fear, the mistrust, the fresh memory of the embarrassing images at the Corregidora Stadium.
In this context, both teams have invited fans to come to Akron Stadium dressed in white. This joint initiative of the Flock and the Eagles seeks to avoid conflicts and promote good coexistence in the stadium. Through networks, Guadalajara announced that for this duel, and until further notice, there will be no access to their animation groups and that the place in the stadium where the bars are normally located will be placed by children.
In sports, the National Classic does not promise great emotions. America is experiencing its worst crisis in a decade. The azulcrema team is at the bottom of the general table after adding just six points, the product of one win, three draws and five losses. The Coapa painting is missing. The Eagles will be directed by Fernando Ortiz, in charge of the U-20 team, until the end of the tournament after the dismissal of Santiago Solari.
In the first match under Ortiz’s direction, América crashed to the ground again. Monterrey, another team in crisis, deservedly beat the people from the capital.
Chivas de Guadalajara does not arrive at its best moment either. The team led by Marcelo Michel Leaño has experienced a real roller coaster in the first half of Clausura 2022. The rojiblanco team is currently in ninth position in the general table with eleven points, product of three wins, two draws and four losses.
Despite not meeting the expectations of the team’s performance, Marcelo Michel Leaño has the full support of his board.
Due to both the off-court conditions and the strictly sporting ones, this weekend’s Clásico Nacional looks to be lackluster. The atmosphere is not appropriate for a duel as passionate as Chivas against America. And the recent performance of the two teams does not excite even their own fans.
