Rebellion in the Liguilla; the teams that won the place of the 'powerful' at the Fiesta Grande

The high budget of the powerful clubs of the Liga MX is far from being a fundamental factor to reach the Liguilla del Apertura 2019. The payrolls that are within the Top 5 of Mexican football such as Monterrey, Cruz Azul and Pachuca have had a intermittent contest. In fact, the cement makers are already eliminated mathematically and the Tuzos need a complicated combination to be at the big party. On the other hand, the Necaxa is the best example of regularity with low budget. Los Rayos have a team with a value of 27.60 million euros (according to Transfermarkt) only above Veracruz, Juarez, San Luis and Puebla. Memo Vázquez has led hydrochlorides, for the moment, to the subliderato over America, León and Tigres, teams that almost tripled their budget.If the cost of the schools defined the classifieds, we would have Chivas, Cruz Azul and Pachuca in the big party.

On the other hand, the White Roosters appear in the half table with a value of 32,60 mde and deserve a special mention since, although they are not the lowest budget of the League, they cannot be compared with the wealthiest in Mexico . Similar situation to that of Monarcas, who are one step away from qualifying the Liguilla with a squad of 29.00 m.Finally, we could qualify the Blue Cross as the biggest failure of the tournament due to the high cost of its players, a site that only it would surpass the Monterrey in case of not classifying, since the regal ones are the most expensive squad of Liga MX.

Jan Oblak: "Héctor Herrera deserves every minute Simeone has given him"

Héctor Herrera arrived last summer at Atlético de Madrid for free, after having finished his contract with Porto, but he has not had the amount of minutes anyone would expect from one of the referents of the Mexican national team. Jan Oblak, mattress goalkeeper, gave a few words about the tricolor player. "Hector (Herrera) I see very well and the opportunities he took advantage of them, making great matches.

"Herrera has been waiting for him every day working hard. When he had the opportunity he knew how to take advantage of it and I have no doubt that he will continue to have options and play many more games, "he concluded.

Porto shields Fábio Silva by placing the highest clause in Portugal

However, it would be best to arrive since last summer, when the first coach of Porto, former soccer player Sérgio Conceição, decided to integrate it into the first team since the start of the preseason. the first exchange, with 17 years and two days, Fábio Silva scored both the victory (2-1) against Getafe in the final of the Iberian Cup, which was played in the Portuguese Algarve on July 21. He became, thus, the youngest player to score with Porto. It was the beginning of a seasonal start where the young footballer, son of Jorge Silva - 43-year-old Portuguese international soccer player who played at Boavista-, would do it again history with the blue and whites in the league championship.

After entering the field and replacing the Brazilian Tiquinho Soares, Fábio Silva scored the final 3-0 in the match against Famalicão, on October 27. In this way, he became the youngest player to score in the League with Porto , the veteran 'portista' president, Jorge Pinto da Costa recalled during the Golden Dragon Gala, and it is that the greyhound comes from caste, since, if his father was a footballer, his older brother, Jorge, 20 years old , since the current season in the first team of Lazio, third in the Serie A of Italy, Fabio, according to assure EFE close to the costumes of Porto, is an extremely mature player for his age. He has participated in five league games, has two goals this season and has a special relationship with the most veteran players in Porto.

Brazilians Ze Luís or Tiquinho Soares have it "among cottons" and the club president made it clear in the last gala that it is a bet of Porto, since its clause went up for 125 million euros. His contract, until 2022, did not It could be prolonged, since it is still a minor. According to the regulations, when a player is a minor, his contract will have a maximum duration of 3 years, which is why Pinto da Costa wanted to "tie" the young man. He is a right-handed, large and fast forward with excellent goal smell. With Porto he has already demonstrated his ability to uncheck, his good conjugation with both legs and his ability to define before the goalkeeper. His sports career began in the categories inferior of Porto, although then it went to the discipline of Benfica between 2015 and 2017.

Inui's derby

Inui's derby

53 kilometers separate Ipurua from Mendizorroza. A relatively short distance that in football is even smaller. Because the transfer of players from Vitoria to Eibar and vice versa has been constant during the last decades. Historicals such as Antonio Karmona, Lluis Codina, Ander Alaña, Gaizka Toquero, Jito Silvestre, Manu García or Borja Bastón have defended the Albiazules and Barça shirts, something that Takashi Inui can also boast about, the Japanese face the encounter with butterflies in the stomach Sunday against Alavés.

The Verdiblanca entity did not put many problems and there Eibar and Alavés entered the scene. The two bid for the Japanese, but the figure of Mendilibar was key for Taka to return to Ipurua.

Odriozola's drama

Odriozola's drama


Álvaro Odriozola is another Real Madrid player who can't get on the Zidane train this season. Signed for 40 million euros last season, his participation has been plummeting for a year to the point that he is already a regular in the stands. This course has only participated in four games and already has six consecutive games remaining out of the call. In a season that was irregular in itself, its fateful moment occurred in Mallorca. Zidane gave rest to Carvajal thinking about the duel against Galatasaray and Madrid made water through the right lane. On his side came the goal of Iago Junior and the player, accelerated during every game, ended up leaving his team with ten for a hard (and unnecessary) entry into the center of the field. In the 74th minute of the match he saw the red and since then it is not that he has not played again, he has not entered a single list.
Odriozola arrived at Real Madrid with the mission of fighting with Carvajal for a position, but the white team squad has returned to impose his rival until he became a regular in the stands. The same happened to Danilo, now in the ranks of Juventus. The signing of Odriozola once had the approval of everyone at Real Madrid. His season in the Royal Society (17-18) invited to make an effort for a player who ended up on the list of Lopetegui for the World Cup in Russia. But it was dressing in white and dropping his performance and, therefore, his minutes. Last season he closed it with 22 participations distributed as follows: 14 duels in the League, five in the Cup and three in the Champions League. They were not bright numbers, but the weak season of the team and the fact that it was their first season invited to give it a second chance. This course, however, far from getting better to worse. He has only played in four league games and has not shone. Achraf's threat His future at Real Madrid looks pretty black if he does not trace the situation these months. Above all, because next summer he will return to the discipline of the Achraf Hakimi club, a player who has revalued in Borussia Dortmund, to the point of becoming one of the stars of the German team.
Normally, Carvajal and Achraf are the sides of Madrid next year and that Odriozola has to look for life outside of Madrid. The question is whether sold or transferred, looking for the minutes that you do not have in Madrid right now.
