Fox Sports journalist Gustavo Mendoza made strong statements about the possibility of Chivas eliminating América in Concachampions, stating that this achievement would be celebrated for a year at La Minerva. Subsequently, the impact of this matchup was discussed, which holds a different significance as it is not part of the same tournament.
The anticipated clashes between Chivas and América will take place at the beginning of next month, without the intervention of other teams, occurring consecutively. The dates are as follows: Chivas vs. América on Tuesday, March 4 (CONCACAF), Chivas vs. América on Saturday, March 8 (Liga MX), and América vs. Chivas on Wednesday, March 12 (CONCACAF).
Gustavo Mendoza joked that if Chivas manages to defeat América, this event would be celebrated as a title, thus salvaging their season. In this regard, he highlighted that the team from Guadalajara is in a state of mediocrity and that a potential victory over their arch-rival would be a reason for prolonged celebration.
Chivas' elimination of Cibao in Concachampions has generated great expectations regarding the performance of the team led by Óscar García. In this context, Gustavo Mendoza has repeatedly criticized the rojiblanca squad, expressing his disappointment at their failure to meet the expectations placed on the roster, which features a new coach and promising young players.
