If it exists a personality authorized to speak about Cruz Azul, that is Carlos Hermosillo. Top scorer in the history of the institution, he was part of the famous eighth at the end of the 90’s, leaving a great legacy that future generations of footballers tried to imitate even a little.
It is that beyond what was done on the playing field, the Cerro Azul Giant He managed to develop and establish himself in the major media, being an outstanding journalist. On this occasion spoke about the challenges that await La Maquina in the current 2024 Apertura Tournament, already in the Liguilla.
Although he is one of the faces of the Fox Sports screen, he chose to leave his opinion on his own X account (formerly Twitter), in an extensive 6-minute video. “I am very happy with what Cruz Azul has done this seasonwell actually in not only the season but the year. It has maintained regularity, it has been a team that has lost few gamesonly one and tied one,” the former striker began by reviewing.
Then he continued to also leave praise everywhere: “It is one of the favorites and I am going to tell you why: I see a safe, solid, mature teamwith good football, with good performance by its players, and to mention one: Rotondi. He has had an extraordinary football year. Sepúlveda who has come in as a replacement and who has borne the weight since we have had Toro and Giakoumakis injured. “He has done very well, everyone and without exception.”
For his part, he warned Cruz Azul for this final part: “Many question that what is important for Cruz Azul, the litmus test is the Liguilla. That is for everyone, Cruz Azul previously had tournaments that in the Liguilla were not able to make that leap, they did it last season with a short team and reached a final. Today no one can guarantee that he will be championbut he is doing everything to be able to achieve the goal of achieving one more championship.”
“But we will have to wait, we must not trust ourselves and make mistakes, They should not relax their body since in 180 minutes everything is at stake. I think there are two teams that have stood out like Cruz Azul and Toluca, but a team from Monterrey should not be underestimated. Although it is an irregular and cold team, which does not stand out or convince, Tigres is a dangerous team that knows how to play Liguilla. The other is América, the two-time champion that has just recovered against Mazatlán“said Hermosillo.
