Guests of the playoff: America, awakening from the nightmare

The nightmare is over. After a long, long nightmare (which reached its lowest point to involve them in the fall), America is back on the site to which it belongs. Because, loved or hated, or Temine followed, the Eagles are a club renowned for specific weight of each group an unmistakable, a perennial candidate for the championship. Jesus Ramirez, so criticized in the beginning, has risen to America based on experiments and good signings. You can tell a lot about his conservatism or his inexperience, but the numbers will endorse. Fourth overall (29 points), second best defense (15), fourth highest scoring team (28). America goes, slowly recovering from intensive therapy.

His phenomenal staff starts from the goal. No doubt, having the national goalkeeper makes them breathing again. Enjoy as much as possible by Guillermo Ochoa, a crack under the posts which will be after the World Cup in Mexico. Despite his youth, Ochoa has emerged as the great symbol of Americanism following the departure of Cuauhtemoc Blanco. But until there is quality in banking. Armando Navarrete (unfortunately injured not long ago), is also a reliable keeper, it would be incumbent on almost any other First Division team.

The defense is led by Aquivaldo Mosqueda. The Colombian is a tight player, and often too coarse in the mark. Mosqueda has the problem of being very violent situation that has led him to be expelled a few times during the tournament. The other central position is weaker: first, is the Chilean Ricardo Rojas, who has won the game for Juan Carlos Valenzuela and Ismael Rodriguez. The sides are very well covered. On one side is Oscar Rojas, offensive element with a lot of projection and referred to National Team, while the other side is Israel Martinez. Jagger came to the alternative Coapa offensive, but Jesus Ramirez has slowed as a winger.

The midfield Americanism is exquisite. In contention is the evergreen Pavel Pardo, whose precision playing is an excellent weapon in pieces. Beside alternate Chilean and Brazilian Jean Beausejour Rosinei Adolfo. Difficult to decide on any of the two: Beausejour is driving the ball better, but again the field Rosinei bites. Under the Chilean put Ramirez in that position since Bielsa chooses to use it as a midfielder (or even as extreme) in the selection. On the left, Ramirez uses Angel Reyna, returned from St. Louis, while the far right has invented Enrique Esqueda to fill the gap. With this modification, the palette has recovered from a low level and has earned for a couple of calls with the Tricolor.

The front is lethal. Playing behind the attackers is Daniel Montenegro. The Rolfi was a huge leap in quality in the staffing of America, and is coupled with relative ease to Mexican soccer. On the other hand, without further preamble, is Paraguay's Salvador Cabanas, a striker so effective that surprised you have not yet migrated to European football. In banking there are few alternatives, but highlights the youth Juan Carlos Silva, discovered at the time of Daniel Brailovsky on the bench, and Daniel Marquez, a kid out of the quarry with a magnet in the head and the gift of scoring at the moment darker.

I look to America as a semifinalist, and encouraged me to put it in a final tight race. While accusing some powder dry in recent days, the team's potential is huge. While many criticize the approach of Ramirez, I think there is more than what is seen with the naked eye. His inexperience could play tricks, but it is an encouragement to see it make risky moves, as their experiments during the campaign, can result in fundamental variations for the win. I see the Eagles close to the title, can transform a terrible nightmare into a dream idyll.
