Mexico City /
the End of the 2007 Closure between Pachuca and America ended up being one of the most catastrophic for the fans of the eagles and it is that not only it meant to them to lose the championship before the Tuzos in the Hidalgo stadium, Was also the last time Cuauhtémoc Blanco wore the shirt of the club of his loves. A memory that flourishes because of the confrontation they will have Azulcremas i Tuzos this Saturday at day 8 from’ Guard1anes 2021.
the Cuau came to the Final knowing that I would no longer be a player of the America. A month earlier he signed a contract with the Chicago Fire from MLS to continue his career as a professional in United States and that is why I wanted more than anyone to lift this trophy.
“I remember that in the locker room he told us he wanted to go champion, We already knew that it was his last match and for him, for the fans, for our families we wanted the championship and unfortunately it was not achieved and I remember that he like everyone was very sad“But it would have been sensational to see him go with the championship,” he recalled Raúl “Bala” Salines in an interview with Mediotiempo.
“It was a very painful defeat. we were a great team, but it’s something that still weighs because we couldn’t be champions and it didn’t come to us and we had a sad memory. “
The two goals he scored America in the series were from the Cuauh, But in the memory of the fans is what he did in the Free Kick Tour to overcome the barrier already Miguel Calero, Because in the face of defeat this is the last image of white Bravo reminiscent of Americanism.
“One dreams of playing Finals, but that’s football, unfortunately we were all devastated, the good thing is that he scored a goal in this Final and that encouraged us and then we were vaccinated in the 37th minute; Cuauhtémoc was sad because he wanted to dedicate himself to the fans, but he said goodbye with a great goal”.
Although the closing 2016 the I’m afraid to be registered to have a farewell match with the eagles, This duel ahead Morelia is not as remembered by the fans as if the Final from’ closing 2007 in the Hidalgo stadium.
