One of the strongest great debates that exist in Mexican soccer has to do with the true competitiveness of Liga MX. Because while it is true that internally there are very strong rivalries and high-ranking teams, at the international level they have weakened quite a bit; especially in the Leagues Cup. This is a discussion that began to have strong relevance after the Copa Libertadores was abandoned.
There is no doubt that the tournament organized by CONMEBOL is one of the most prestigious competitions on the entire continent. Even so, there are many South American players who decide to come to Mexico and are surprised by the difficulties it presents.. Even Giorgos Giakoumakis himself stated it and came from being a complete MLS star.
In a recent interview with César Luis Merlo, Lorenzo Faravelli referred to the adaptation process that is needed for Mexican soccer: “The first thing that surprised me was the rhythm it has, the transitions are fast; There is a very good quality of players and the stadiums are very good. Because of the pace and the level of play, he compared them to the many matches that I had to play in the Copa Libertadores.”
“There are some rules that I had not had, such as the number of seconds the goalkeeper has to serve or the same for the full-backs. So that makes the pace of the game very high and dizzying. The truth is that I really like Mexican soccer.”added the 31-year-old midfielder.
Lorenzo Faravelli’s big change in the Apertura 2024
Although La Maquina’s new system with four midfielders allows Lorenzo Faravelli to focus more on the game, there was a change in his game. And it took the Argentine many games to adapt to the rhythm of Mexican soccer. One of the matches where this was greatly reflected was in the first Young Classic that he played, where he was never able to surpass either Álvaro Fidalgo or Jonathan dos Santos.
On the other hand, in the last duel against América he looked like a plane next to his rivals and even scored a real great goal. This was very good news for Martín Anselmi who had some problems finding his ideal midfield.. However, the quartet formed by Lolo, Charly Rodríguez, Luis Romo and Alexis Gutiérrez is here to stay.
