The Blue Cross fans were very hurt after the team’s tough elimination in the semifinals of the Guard1anes 2020 MX League tournament. Despite the 4-0 first-leg victory, the return leg was an epic comeback for the Pumas and the Celtics were left out catastrophically, and without the pass to the coveted final.
Rafael Baca addressed the media this afternoon, and more to ensure that the staff know that the fans failed, assured that he is willing to leave the Cement Machine after the Guard1anes 2021 if this will allow the team to receive less criticism and be closer to being First Division champions, 23 years later.
“Words are too much. Now the main thing is to regain the confidence of the fans and the only way is to do it on the court. Obviously, this will take time and will require good results and performances. The truth is that we fail them, there is nothing else, but we are doing everything possible: working hard in training, looking to adapt to the style of Joan Reynoso and his coaching staff as soon as possible, To get the results and deploy what they ask of us “, he secured the steering wheel.
In addition, Baca noted that “without seeing social media you know what you did and stopped doing. We know we failed the fans and you don’t have to get on social media to know what happened. We all know what we did, we failed them, we lost their trust, and the only way to get it back is with results. This took time and on the team we are aware of that. We didn’t start the tournament in the best way but we are on the right track, the tournament is long and we know the most important thing is like a fence. We go step by step, we close ranks, we are united, we know what we have to do and we work on it. “.
Anyway, he was no stranger to criticism and claimed to be open to leaving the club. “You have to assume that when you have been here for many years the criticism will be for you. Accepting the challenge and taking it as it is, since I got here I have done it with the hope of being champion and we have been close. In 2018 we lost the final against America, this time we were there in the semifinals, but the truth is that we were close. When the results are not given or the goal is reached we are all ready to leave. If I am one of the most criticized I am willing to raise my hand and stand aside, no problem“, Has sentenced Baca.
It has the benefit of the doubt
