Next Friday, inside the Matchday 4, the duel between Necaxa and Cruz Azul, two teams between which in recent times a very particular relationship has been created, since when Machine he has discarded or has not been able to take advantage of some of the players he has, the Rays have put him to good use.
Necaxa exploits what Cruz Azul discards
It is true that footballers sometimes do much better in one club than in another, but in particular Necaxa has been able to take advantage of what Blue Cross He does not know how to do it or what he simply did not get at La Noria.
First of all there is the forward Lucas Passerini; the Argentine only arrived at the beginning of 2020 to Blue Cross as one of the strong cards of Machine for that tournament. Surprisingly and taking into account that the Pandemic was crossed and canceled the Closure of that year, Lucas Giuliano He had a very poor 30 minutes divided into four games, in which he was not enough to score a goal.
At the end of that semester, Passerini asked to leave Blue Cross, since there was no place in La Maquina. It was then that Necaxa He appeared, gave him the opportunity and the Argentine responded with 16 games, 14 of them as a starter, in which he played a total of 1,115 minutes and scored three goals in six months; not bad for a player who didn’t even have a chance to show up in Machine, although now it is already in San Luis.
Another example is that of the 20-year-old Mexican striker Daniel Lopez, who Necaxa acquired for this Guard1anes 2021, being a network breaker for La Maquina in the U-20 category in the last tournament, with 11 goals (nine in the regular season and two in the Liguilla). In La Noria, they did not even take him into account to be part of the first team, being of the little remarkable that he had Blue Cross in your Basic Forces.
Dani went to Necaxa and, from the start, so far in Guard1anes 2021, he has already played three games with the Rayos in the First Division (club with which he debuted in the First Division), of which one has been as a starter for a total of 74 minutes played. While a Lopez Pinedo He lacks the goal, surely with greater activity he will find it, while in Cruz Azul they never gave him a chance.
Necaxa denies objects of desire to The Machine: Unai Bilbao and Ían González
Another very particular aspect of the relationship between Necaxa and Cruz Azul in recent times, is that The Machine has focused a lot on players who have consolidated in Necaxa. For this 2021, the cement workers pushed very hard for two Rayos players.
The two Spaniards, Unai Bilbao and Ían GonzálezThey were the object of Cruz Azul’s desire; the first central and the second striker, lines where the cement producers suffer in this contest, so they were the intentions of the board headed by Jaime Ordiales to give more weight to the blues.
Nevertheless, Necaxa He knew how to keep two of his pillars in the team very well and, as much as Cruz Azul tried to take them to the point of negotiation, things simply did not happen to the cement producers, while the Rayos take advantage of what Machine does not know how to explode.
