Cruz Azul needs how to break the 22 years of drought without being able to raise a new MX League and the board is fine-tuning the last details to strengthen a team that not only wants to win the Clausura 2020 but also the Concacaf Champions League.
The idea of Robert Dante Siboldi is to have at least two players per position except in some keys where he can have three and up to four players to rotate and give them a chance.
In the arc, for example, there are three who will fight for ownership: José de Jesús Corona, Sebastián Jurado and Andrés Gudiño. Guillermo Allison, knowing this, asked for his exit and while he finds a club he will train at the Machine to keep pace.
The defense, meanwhile, will have at least eight players: Igor Lichnovsky, Jaiber Jiménez, Pablo Aguilar, Julio César Domínguez, Juan Escobar, Adrián Aldrete, Jesús López, Jorge García. Only two are naturally lateral (Aldrete and López), two others are central but can supply them (Domínguez on the left and Escobar on the right) and the other four are 100% central (Aguilar, Lichnovsky, Jiménez and García).
The midfielders will be many and there is still one that arrives while Yotún is injured: Rafael Baca, Yoshimar Yotún, Orbelín Pineda, Pablo Ceppelini, Roberto Alvarado, Elías Hernández, Jonathan Rodríguez, Misael Domínguez, Alexis Gutiérrez, Pol Fernández. Eventually, the eleventh midfielder will be Ivan Marcone.
And in the lead, the fight will be even stronger, since it was expected that Milton Caraglio be the first and Santiago Gimenez the second, but today the arrival of Aké Loba. The problem is that with this Caraglio loses ground, since the Chaquito has five goals in the preseason and the former Atlas 0.
The alignment that Robert Dante Siboldi is using in the preseason, considering the injuries of Lichnovsky, Aldrete, Jury and Yotún, is with José de Jesús Corona; Jesús López, Pablo Aguilar, Juan Escobar, Julio Domínguez; Rafael Baca, Pablo Ceppelini; Elías Hernández, Roberto Alvarado, Jonathan Rodríguez; Milton Caraglio.
