The continuity of coach Miguel Herrera in the Xolos de Tijuana was seriously compromised after this Friday, at the start of date 14 of the Clausura 2024 tournament, Necaxa, coming from behind, snatched the victory 2-3 to extend the canine team’s winless streak to 16 games and that really begins to generate great discomfort among the fans of the border team.
You could say that because of desire and attitude it didn’t stick. Even though Xolos had many options to win and he got involved with Necaxa, in a duel of give and take, but simply, when a team turns it around, even if you move, it can’t reach you.
This is precisely what happens with the Xolos led by Miguel Herrera, who were again caught on the scoreboard and ended up giving up the result due to small oversights that, in the final count of the damage, became enormous.
Now the beneficiary was Necaxa, who knew how to hit at the exact moment on a team that has football arguments, but whose self-confidence is at rock bottom. Because otherwise, one cannot explain how after They surprised them with the goal of Colombian Diber Cambindo In the 38th minute, they had the arrests to turn the score around.
Precisely that strength they showed to recover from the initial goal gave the impression that it would lead them to victory. with the goals of the Paraguayan Carlos González and the Argentine Domingo Blanco. But in the blink of an eye, with the own failures of the team led by Miguel Herrera, they allowed the Argentine José Paradela to score two goals and with them place them with their backs against the wall.
The world came crashing down on Xolos
After the goals of Necaxa’s Argentine José Paradela, the world came crashing down on the Xolossince the score of the necaxista victory was in regular time and in the added minutes, the border team wanted to change history, but their own precipitations took them to the bottom of the precipice in order to place themselves very close to the negative streak of Indios de Ciudad Juárez who could not win a game in the 2009 Apertura tournament.
So far, Xolos de Tijuana has 16 games without winning, counting the 14 games of the current Clausura 2024 tournament and two of the Apertura 2023, so if this negative inertia continues, the border team would only have four games left to avoid matching that negative record of the Ciudad Juárez squad.
The risk for Miguel Herrera
Without a doubt, Miguel Herrera’s poster and experience are highly valued. by the Xolos board headed by businessman Jorge Alberto Hank, but without a doubt the weight of the results and the discontent of the fans against the poor results they accumulate in this project is increasingly opening the gap to be able to support the continuity of the process.
For that reason, The next few hours will be key in the search for answers for coach Miguel Herrera, who in most games has been very close to breaking the negative streak, but when the results do not happen, even if you move, they still do not appear and obviously the board will have to make the difficult decision of holding on until the end of the championship or taking different directions with the current coaching staff.
