The reason why Brizuela is a starter in Chivas

The regular season ended Closing 2024 and Chivas managed to get among the first six classified, so it already has its ticket in the league and did so with five consecutive victories, which complement the seven undefeated games in Liga MX.

Coincidence or not, this streak of unbeaten matches for the Guadalajara started since Isaac Brizuela returned to the starting eleven Fernando Gago. He only missed the victory against Monterrey, but from then on, there are six games in which the With e does not know defeat.

Despite the statistic, which was evidently not achieved by Brizuelaa sector of the hobby Chivas del Guadalajara He does not completely agree with his presence in the starting eleven, especially because of his little contribution on offense, where he does not end up being the brightest.

Only in the last game against Atlasthe fans harshly criticized him for his constant imprecise passes, slow in some periods and his few missed crosses, which is why the debate about whether Cade Cowell either Yael Padilla They should be above Brizuela.

Despite the criticism, it is very clear that for Gago the starting right winger in the Chivas de Guadalajara is Isaac Brizuela and the reason is because of his defensive sacrifice. He With e He is no longer just another attacker, but a midfielder with greater wear and tear in defense, with occasional additions up front.

On more than one occasion you will see the Rabbit Brizuela partner in marking with Alan Mozo, and form a double block of 4 players, along with Fernando Beltrán, Erick Gutiérrez and Pável Pérez.

This double block has caused Chivas have not conceded goals in the last three league games, so it is hardly Fernando Gago He will break it to bet on a player with greater imbalance, like Cowell or Padilla.

This situation surprises more than one, because while he was injured during the first part of the competition, the fans already saw Isaac Brizuela of the Chivasa rumor since the time of Paunovic, but which today seems more distant than ever.
