The numbers are cold. In 15 games played in the Grita México 2021 tournament, America has 34 points, ten wins, four draws and only one loss. The team led by Santiago Solari adds 20 goals in favor and only eight against, that is, it has a difference of 12 goals in favor, the highest in the entire Liga MX. In the absence of a couple of days, the Eagles are directly classified to the league and also secured the super leadership.
The azulcrema team will also play the final of the Concacaf Champions League against Monterrey in the middle of the week. Bottom line: America has dominated the league from start to finish and is one step away from being a Concachampions champion. And even so, there is a sector of fans and the media that question the performance of the citizens every week.
For a group of people, America, despite the results and the numbers, is not playing soccer well. The creamy blue outfit isn’t as flashy as it could be, they say. Solari’s football proposal is not so daring, say others. The team must win, like it and score and now it is only winning, some sports commentators thoughtfully analyze.
The truth is that, despite the criticism, America, at the moment, is the team to beat and the great candidate to win the title of the Grita Mexico 2021 tournament. No other Liga MX squad has had a regularity this semester as the Eagles have had. Tigres and Monterey, the league’s two most powerful and valuable squads, have stumbled and performed unevenly.
Cruz Azul, current champion of the league, has lowered his performance this season and he does not see the same hunger as in the last tournament. Of historical teams like Chivas de Guadalajara and Pumas, two of the so-called greats of Mexican soccer, not much more can be said. His performance this semester has been very low and has not lived up to the expectations of his fans. None of these teams has received more criticism than America, the absolute leader of the competition.
America is a club that raises passions in all fans of Mexican soccer. Either you love yourself or you hate yourself. There are no half measures, although it sounds cliché. One of the club’s mottos is specifically aimed at its detractors: “hate me more.” In this tournament that they have dominated from start to finish and in which they have set records, the Americanists could say to everyone: “criticize me more, we are leaders.”
