The American benchmark considered that the board headed by Santiago Banys does not have the capacity to bring players like Cuauhtémoc, Biyik or Cabanyes
MEXICO CITY – In July 2019, Giovani Dos Santos was announced as America’s star reinforcement for this year’s Opening tournament, but since his arrival in Coapa the striker has not been able to consolidate due to of multiple physical problems that have attacked him on his way through Coapa. Faced with this situation, the American legend Juan Antonio Luna has explained by ESPN that the arrival of Dos Santos was a big mistake of the directive that all fans are now paying.
“Giovani came from the Galaxy MLS and did nothing, the people of America bought a pretty bad product. For example, if you’re watching a crashed car you’re not going to buy it, that’s logical but in the end America did, We know that in football now it’s a lot of business, you can buy a crashed car as if it were new because you know you’re going to make a profit, if it’s business for some people then you can say it was okay to come, but if you’re going to do things to bring a player that makes a difference in America then you can’t buy a crashed car like Giovani Dos Santos“Since we’ve all seen his poor performance on the pitch,” Luna pointed out ESPN.
The former player has also added that Giovani’s arrival was due to a promoter business above the real needs of Club America.
“These are hirings that are done through a promoter, if you look for the news a little bit back in time you’re going to realize that Giovani started promoting him, he appeared in Miami and supposedly here he met the hierarchs of the club and then already appeared in America.
“There are things that make people happen but in reality we have all seen Giovani’s performance, I am left with the goal that gave him the victory of America in the classic and after that he has been a player that it has not shone as it should have shone in America, “continued Juan Antonio Luna.
“The people who are here in America are the ones who decide, we don’t know what interests they have in staying or leaving, the truth is there is a terrible gap in decision making because you don’t know who is making the decision , Santiago Banys does not have American blood, he has not understood what America is and he cannot have a sound judgment to know which player to carry “.
Finally, the ‘Stubborn’ ruled that Coapa’s team cannot afford to bring more footballers who do not perform on the court as has been the case with Giovani Dos Santos.
“In America there is no one who can solve the contracts in a good way. For example, Santiago Banys play in Atlante, Necaxa and Ratllats then I don’t think he has the ability to bring a player like Salvador Cabanyes, like Biyik, like Zague like Cuauhtémoc Blanco, players who solved the game for you in one play, it is a reality that there are very good players but we do not know why they do not come to America.
“If they want a spectacular America they have to get a center forward that scores goals, Salvador Cabanyes scored until asleep, ‘Chucho’ Benitez the same and this is the sample, it’s not about discovering the black thread, you saw it in the its time and you realized how America works, then bring a player like this otherwise you won’t be able to do anything, ”Juan Antonio Luna concluded in a chat with ESPN.
