Martín Anselmi arrived to change the DNA of a team of Blue Cross that in 2021 achieved what seemed impossible: the ninth star, but since then it has been adding a series of failures that would be impossible to list without first running out of fingers on our hands.
This tournament started off pretty badly, it should be noted. Those led by Martín Anselmi began losing 1-0, at home, against the Pachuca Tuzos. Then they tied 0-0 against Ciudad Juarez Braves, missing a penalty at minute ninety; saved by his former goalkeeper Sebastián Jurado.
However, all this served to make the cement producers lose their fear of failure and since then they have been practically unbeatable. They managed to add six consecutive wins, and although they fell in the young classic against the Americathey recovered quickly and beat 3-0 at Chivason his return to the Azteca stadium.
Cruz Azul 🚂 gave a clear example of all the collective and individual fundamentals that have made it grow and also took advantage of the red and white plan attempt to break it from Q1.
