Cup for Mexico: Cruz Azul has 4 injured players and Robert Siboldi blames the club

Bad news for Blue Cross. The team’s coach confirmed in an interview that four of its players present physical discomfort as a consequence of the high intensity of the preseason training. Robert Siboldi He stressed that this ‘rise’ in the level of practices is due to the imminence of the Cup for Mexico, a tournament that will kick off this weekend, and about which the Uruguayan strategist says, nobody warned him.

“When they tell us the start date of the tournament (Liga MX, July 24), we have a margin of 6 weeks to train. The first game we were thinking of doing soccer was on July 8, against the U-20. But now with the Cup for Mexico, tWe had to advance the intensity of the training for the debut (July 4), and it already cost us 4 players who are in discomfort”Siboldi explained in a talk with the Line of Four program.

Jesús Corona, Santiago Giménez, Roberto Alvarado and Jonathan Borja are the members of the team that present discomfort and are doubtful to play next Saturday against Pumas at the start of the Cup for Mexico at the University Stadium in Mexico City.

“They were going to play 4 times of 25 minutes against the sub-20, and then play with higher-ranking teams. It was something you could control, not the virus issue, but the physical one, now we had to advance the preparation and it cost us 4 players”, said.

The Cup dispute for Mexico has generated a debate at the Cruz Azul intern: while Jaime Ordiales, sports director, is busy saying that they will play it despite the voices that suggest retiring as a result of the contagions in the team, Siboldi claims that no one informed him of participation in the tournament.

Consulted by the subject, the trainer commented resignedly: “It is the commitment that the club acquired.”
