Mexicanísimo ... and desesperadísimo

Last update 6 April, 2024 por Alberto Llopis

The Mexican team of all, uno de los 2 country's most popular, still immersed in a spiral of irregular results that are in the relegation zone and disappoints his increasingly large group of followers. This chain of mediocrity and has become too long in recent years and hurts an institution with such ancestry and history.

It is almost sure, sin embargo, Guadalajara that will not go into the darkness of the Liga de Ascenso, simply because there are Dorados de Sinaloa, club, as does 10 años, even with Pep Guardiola in his filas- he seems doomed to return to the second circuit competition in our country.

But that does not detract Chivas shame to disappoint its broad membership. The primary responsibility of this ancient crises has a name: Jorge Vergara. Este, as owner and president, management has had the most bizzare, in which he has guided to making important decisions for their moods and moods.
And so it has gone the traditional tapatía squad.

Since October 2002 (that is to say, does 13 Years and a half), when maneuvers that even today claim that they were not as "clear" acquired the social partners that gave the club property Guadalajara, Vergara has sat 20 coaches on the bench, incluyendo a 5 of them in latter stages, further 2 interim.

This list is being included Argentine Matias Almeyda, who follow the mediocre and irregular results under his command and knowing what it is prone Vergara Madrigal to "pull the trigger", it would not be unusual to see him stopped before the end of this tournament Clausura 2016.

And is that after an encouraging start, in which the Atleti seemed to change inertia, even with the achievement Cup title in the Apertura 2015, the "Pelado" has seen his squad has been cracked and -despite the millionaire hires 2 "Pearls" national football, Carlos Pena and Orbelin Pineda- line productivity has been dramatically declining week after week.

As we mentioned in our radio-TV "Gol Gol" in November and December, when we recommend to fans of so-called Chiverío not hopes up too much with the results and the cupbearer scepter (as the background on the computer indicated that immediately after the arrival of a new coach overall performance had a rebound, to then begin a rapid decline ... until the new cease, and the arrival of a "victim" more), the current situation seems to be heading for the directions of a "guillotinazo" with all of the law.

The average time a hard technical director at Chivas says it all: 6 months and one week. That is to say, Almeida, even with all the praise that has poured President on his tactical and mental work from arrival, It is in the "hairline", if we remember that was presented in the lands tapatías 18 September last year and if we rely on the background of the "vergarato".

But this instability is not unique to the bench, and Don Jorge also like to "shave" their presidents and athletic directors, who usually charge about -velada or directly-- the blame for poor performance. Not with their managers the employer has "feeling" and the immediate result was a salad of styles and working methods where it is clear that the last and almost always arrogant and no word has successful team owner.

They have contributed nothing to the sports balance problems experienced football lately Extra in the institution rojiblanca, as the tense relationship between Jorge Vergara and his wife Angelica Fuentes, with explosive statements and even lawsuits by both, air leaving the club ownership, as well as the scandal over the alleged sexual harassment of his then coach Ricardo La Volpe team to podóloga, another issue that "jumped" to court.

The crisis in the Chivas has reached such a degree that many voices immediate way out of the maze of mediocrity would be occupy Mexican naturalized foreign players, to betray only "in part" the nationalist tradition of the club. Miguel Angel Ponce, defender he born in Sacramento, California, with Mexican roots, It is the most recent case of disloyalty to the principles that exalt the greatness rojiblanca. Make 4 decades, a Mexican German descent, Hanspeter enemies, a front known as "Guerito", caused controversy when between 1971 y 1974 He defended the jersey.

Sin embargo, as many football fans, I think the solution is much easier and less controversial: Vergara Madrigal sold to Guadalajara. And the businessman Carlos Slim Helu, one of the world's richest, They say they would be willing to put a million dollar offer on the table. Por lo pronto, the Atleti fans will continue to suffer and ashamed of his mediocre team.
