America is experiencing its worst tournament start in 49 years. The azulcrema team had not had such a poor performance since the 1973-1974 season, in which the Águilas, as in the Clausura 2022 of Liga MX, had four defeats in their first six games. Santiago Solari’s team looks weaker and more predictable with each game. The defeat against Pachuca on matchday 6 has been a hard blow, almost lethal, for the management of the Argentine coach.
His future as DT of America is in question. If he doesn’t get a positive and convincing result against Pumas, one of Pumas’ historical rivals, his period at the head of the capital squad would come to an end. Without a doubt, Solari is the main person responsible for the bad step of the Coapa club. But the Argentine is not alone in this journey. Both the board and the players have done their part for this formula of crisis and disaster.
In recent weeks there has been talk of the preponderant role of Santiago Solari in the Americanist failure. However, the role played by the players in this unexpected start to Clausura 2022 has not been thoroughly and carefully analyzed. América, tied with Santos Laguna, has the worst defense in the tournament. His offensive production is also nothing to brag about. The team shows sparks, but that is not enough to compete or win a game. As Solari himself has recognized
Before Pachuca there were some postcards to remember for a long time. At the start of the second half against the Tuzos, after Henry Martín closed the gap in the 55th minute, the same Yucatecan player had an unbeatable opportunity to tie the Bella Airosa team at two goals. The forward of the Mexican National Team was in front of Óscar Ustari and was able to enable Roger Martínez. Martín decided for the shot and did not contact the ball.
In the play of the third goal of the Tuzos, the work of Víctor Guzmán, the defensive behavior of the capital raised more than one eyebrow. Luis Chávez recovered a ball almost in the middle of the field of play and easily eluded his markers. The players from América did not seek to recover the ball with intensity. The midfielder ended up filtering the ball to Guzmán who with one movement took off Guillermo Ochoa and defined in a great way to put definitive figures.
Through social networks, American fans have criticized the operation of the team and specifically this couple of plays. Some of America’s fans have even suggested that the team is “making the bed” for Santiago Solari. This term suggests that the team is letting themselves win on purpose and does not give the expected results so that the board dispenses with the services of the technician.
There are definitely no elements to suggest that a situation of this nature is occurring inside America. However, what is undeniable is that this team plays without claw, without heart, without hunger and without desire. What is evident is that Solari’s speech is worn out and he no longer has an echo within the group.
America is experiencing its darkest hours in many years. Solari is responsible for the situation. But both the board and the players are also largely to blame for what is currently happening with the azulcrema club. Solari can leave for the weekend, but the Eagles will hardly pick up. The crisis will not end with the departure of the technician.
