Ricardo Peláez goes through a bitter paradox: The manager is going through a difficult time because the Chivas do not walk (they are 14th place in the general table) and after losing the National classic with America he had to go out to face. While this is happening, the Blue Cross is a general leader and one of the serious candidates for the title with a team that is based on the project that the same Peláez lift when he reached the celestial institution in 2018.
Ricardo he came to the board of the Blue Cross in that opening 2018. The goal was the same as it was more than 20 years ago: to make the celestial champions. To do this, the cement dome decided to open the portfolio and Peláez was in charge of looking for young and level players who today are the basis of the successful path of The Machine.
Since 2018, the Celtics have had the label of favorites in every tournament, even in this Opening 2018 they reached the Final against America, with a planter that had with himself to the first reinforcements of Peláez: Iván Marcone, Elías Hernández, Pablo Aguilar, Igor Lichnovsky i Roberto Alvarado.
The defeat sank and for the following year they joined Orbelín Pineda, Misael Domínguez, Yoshimar Yotún i Jonathan Rodriguez, Although with the low of Marcone, Who went to mouth Juniors. For the 2019 Opening, certain areas continued to be strengthened and so came Juan Escobar to complement the defense, in addition to Guillermo Matías Fernández, Looking for a midfield that found no balance with the output of Marcone.
He was also taken to Brayan Angulo of Ecuador, that while it wasn’t a high prospect, it was a generation of competition at the forefront.
As much Pedro Caixinha, that was at the time of Peláez, like Robert Dante Siboldi, that arrived after the exit of both personages of the celestial institution in September 2019, they had good turnouts with a squad made up of players who arrived from 2018 and other add-ons.
for closing 2020, Campaign that was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, Blue Cross he was the leader for Day 10 and aspired to be one of the contenders for the League. The break in Mexican football did not diminish the cementers, as for the Guard1anes 2020, The resumption of competition, the Machine it always stayed between the first five places and it arrived at the Final Phase eliminating in Quarters of End to tigers, but the Semifinals were the heavy treadmill as Pumas managed to win after a historic 4-0 upset for the 4-4 overall and advance to better position.
Basically the alignment was made up of Jesús Corona, Julio César Domínguez, Adrián Aldrete, Luis Romo, Rafael Baca and of the litter of reinforcements of Peláez were Lichnovsky, Aguilar, Escobar, Alvarado, Pineda, Rodríguez i Yotún.
currently Juan Reynoso makes use of these players after the project Jaume Ordiales it has not been entirely successful with hiring players. The Peruvian technician is based on elements such as Escobar and Aguilar, Alvarado is indisputable next to Orbelín and Cabecita Rodríguez.
even, Reynoso has had in Pol Fernández an element of competition that has earned a place in the starting eleven and Angulo is a change that has given him points. With this scheme, today, the Machine dominates the competition and they venture to continue breaking marks like equaling the 10 consecutive victories that at the time obtained Raul Cardinal red in season 1970-1971.
And it is that Box and Sibolds they also lived in a good time when their respective teams had statistics in their favor such as defensive solidity or what to say about the brand title they achieved Rodriguez breaking an 11-year drought without a celestial player having that individual recognition.
failed reinforcements
As with any planning, there were cases that were not as effective as those of Milton Caraglio, Andrés Renteria and Angulo himself, who was ceded to xolos before the little participation that it had under the command of Robert Dante Siboldi.
today Peláez he sees in the distance how the project he led a few years ago with Blue Cross is bearing fruit, while he suffers with the Chivas.
