MEXICO CITY.
¿Qhat is what Solari sees when she looks at her reflection? He tries to recognize himself in America and cannot find himself, or refuses to understand reality.
Knowing himself is the worst thing that might happen to him, captured by his own reflection, and America throws his great failure on him. He had already happened to him at Real Madrid, to which he arrived because of his fiery verb of lyricism and rhetoric, but from which he came out scraped when the results in final matches condemned him.
A similar thing happened in Mexico. A year of good fortune in which he collected bunches of points until he reached 72 and imposed the best statistics in the club in short tournaments, although when the moment of truth arrived, he was shaken first by Pachuca in Clausura ’21 and then by the Pumas in the Apertura ’21, both in the quarterfinals.
At this point, Santiago Solari is not enough for the hanger, nor the verses, much less his head, which has broken into hundreds of fibers for putting up a lineup that responds by inventing positions for players that they do not dominate.
Solari’s advantage is that he does not attend to his own board, the deal made with América for two years was directly with the owner and executives in charge of soccer at Televisa. That is, if that contract is respected, he would have to leave in December and if he is kicked out before, the charge is two million dollars.
Solari is reflected only in some of his team: Guillermo Ochoa, Miguel Layún or his countrymen Jorge Meré and Álvaro Fidalgo, while he battles with the South Americans who have supposedly set foot like Richard Sánchez, Bruno Valdez and Roger Martínez. “There are players who must understand the demands of the team”, the goalkeeper reverted.
The crisis exploded on October 28, when he lost the Concacaf final once morest Monterrey. On that occasion they applauded him for keeping his players by force to receive the second place medal.
From there it has been four months of enchantment in which he has led 10 games, lost six, drew three and only won one.
The crisis is reflected in Solari, stunned every time he leads, sent off once in the tournament and sent to training yesterday when it was a rest day. Meanwhile, he met with the board, promised them for the umpteenth time to take this forward, but told them not to have several players anymore.
Pumas is on the horizon, the team that humiliated him in the last league can fire him. The owner has given him oxygen this week, if he doesn’t win, he would lose his last credit.
