Playing the Classics once morest América and Atlas has become a real headache for the team. Chivas technical director, Veljko Paunovicsince the Serbian has been far from what the fans expect once morest staunch rivals.
The clearest example was the recent National Classic, where the Águilas gave it a real ride, with a 4-0 win.
With the Eagles, the most recent result is alarming; He has taken two wins in Liga MX and once morest the Zorros it was tied 3-3 in a duel where his team’s lead was reduced to two goals.
Facing América in the regular phase, Veljko’s Chivas have been surpassed in a chilling way: two defeats, the first 4-2 in the last Clausura 2023 and this Saturday, September 16, 4-0; That is to say, they have scored eight goals once morest him and he might only score two.
In the Liguilla, where they more or less got the upper hand, they fell 1-0 in the first leg of the Semifinal and in the Vuelta, once morest 10 azulcremas they won 3-1, their only victory that helped Chivas become a finalist in 2023.
The fans are upset, they did not like the dance that André Jardine’s América put on Chivas on the night of September 16, where the people from Guadalajara did not put their hands in, although former soccer players like Joel Sánchez believe that the Serb’s sporting project as a coach and Fernando Hierro as sports director is on the right track, as he made known on his X account (formerly Twitter).
What failed Paunovic once morest America?
The Serbian made moves in his lineup once more. At the back he made modifications such as Jesús Sánchez as right back instead of Alan Mozo, and he replaced Jesús Gilberto Orozco as center back to leave Cristian Calderón as left back.
Mozo as a right back has delivered good numbers, he is the fifth best in Liga MX in 1 vs. 1 defense, while within Chivas he is the best in 1 vs. 1 offensive, the second with the most successful passes from the right and the third with the most recoveries in dispute.
In midfield, Erick Gutiérrez continues to owe a lot on the field; They gave him the order to start and he did not shine. Another who was erased was Fernando González.
Higher up, Alexis Vega is far from his best level, it was Guadalajara’s first change at halftime. Víctor Guzmán was left on the bench without being able to help his team when he had recovered from an injury that left him out of the last two games. Roberto Alvarado was the best of the Sacred Flock, but he mightn’t do much either and Ricardo Marín, totally lost and without connections in the axis of the attack.
Against Atlas he is going through the same
Against the Rojinegros del Atlas, Paunovic has only one matchup in the regular phase and it also ended up being a duel to forget. And Chivas won the 2023 Tapatío Clausura Clásico 2-0 and in the last 17 minutes of the first half, the Zorros tied them. In the second half the rojiblancos regained the advantage and in the end they were tied to leave the final 3-3.
They met in the Quarterfinals of Clausura 2023 and there was a victory for each side, Atlas starting 1-0 with the score of today’s American player Julián Quiñones; the second was for Chivas by the minimum with the goal of Gilberto Sepúlveda; With a 1-1 aggregate score, Guadalajara entered the Semifinal due to the best position in the table.
