The Argentine strategist has made it clear that constant transfers to Puebla cause physical wear and tear that directly impacts the performance of his players. Although the team has temporarily played at home at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc in Puebla during the current Clausura 2026, the institution's desire is to close the regular phase and face the Liguilla in the heart of CDMX. The team's technical director, Nicolás Larcamón, has been one of the strongest voices in supporting this anticipated move. Cruz Azul is at a critical point in the tournament where fighting for the lead and arriving with momentum for the Liguilla requires all possible advantages. Cruz Azul's management is in a stage of strategic moves off the field to achieve a long-awaited goal: returning to the Estadio Azteca ahead of schedule. This decision not only responds to a sporting need but also to a demand from the fans, who have seen how the distance has cooled their connection with the team in the stands. Although the definitive move to Mexico City is officially projected for July 2026, the urgency to regain home-field advantage in the capital is evident. "We want to stay in Mexico City. Additionally, the management wants the Final Phase of the Liga MX, to be held in May, and the Concachampions Semifinals to take place at the Coloso de Santa Úrsula. The transfers have an impact, and being here brings us closer to the fans," explained Larcamón, emphasizing that logistical stability is fundamental for the team's aspirations. The outlined plan contemplates a series of specific matches that would mark this triumphant return. Among the matches in sight are Matchday 15 against Tijuana (April 18) and Matchday 17 against Necaxa (April 26).
