Club América is experiencing a great present. André Jardine’s set is in the top of Liga MX and he is a clear candidate to opt for the two-time championship. Additionally, the Eagles have a foot and a half in the semifinals of the Concachampions. Despite this, David Faitelson questioned Azulcrema’s unbeatability.
The current Liga MX champion has already headed the series to the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Champions League. The Eagles of America beat New England 0-4. However, Faitelson assures that they faced one of the worst clubs in the United States.
“América is not there to play Libertadores, nor to play the Champions Leagueit is not an invincible team, it has not won the Bicampeonato, it went to the field of a team like the New England Revolution, perhaps one of the worst in the MLS and gave them a forceful four for zero“said the analyst.
The MLS team has not started the American tournament very well. New England Revolution has not been able to win its first match in the tournamentafter five days; Four losses and a draw have them in last place in the Eastern Conference.
“Where do they want to put America? Play next week against whoever wins from Manchester City and Real Madrid? America has a very short, emotional, passionate fuse, and things are going off, today they are in the clouds, but be very careful because the fall from the clouds is prolonged“he added.
Gerardo Martino puts América as favorite
Contrary to what David Faitelson thinks, Gerardo Martino considers that the Águilas del América are the rival to beat in the Concacaf Champions League. “Tata” imagines facing the azulcrema team in a hypothetical final against Inter Miami. However, in the path of America is a dangerous Pachuca who also crushed his rival.
“These types of competitions, imagine that we have the possibility of going to Monterrey, Tigres or the MLS champion will probably come and If we are lucky to get through that, you will get America because it is obviously the favorite, at least to my taste. I don’t know if the loss of players is due to wear and tear from preseason trips,” Martino said at a press conference.
