Cruz Azul lost its compass with the departure of Anselmi and added its third game without winning

Because it could be said that people leave and institutions staybut with what the light blue team showed today with the Uruguayan Vicente Sánchez on the bench replacing Anselmi, it opened a range of questions that make us fear the worst for Cruz Azul with a large roster of players, but that gives the impression that They ripped out the soul with the departure of their coach.

This allowed Puebla without much brilliance to get a very productive draw by simply putting the dagger between their teeth to dispute each ball with the celestials as if it were the last thing they had left of breath, but in the end with the goal from Uruguayan Emiliano Gómez they got a point from a very complicated field.

Breathless and eager

Without exaggeration and keeping the proportions, the way Cruz Azul assumed the match against Puebla It gave the impression that they did not want to be on the field of the University Olympic stadium, which to make matters worse left in the air the idea that it is a stage that does not suit the celestials and that their fans feel uncomfortable in that setting.

Thus, Cruz Azul, although it took the lead on the scoreboard one minute into the game with the goal of Argentine Lorenzo Faravelli, was never able to maintain a rhythm that could guarantee a favorable result, especially because After his annotation he allowed Puebla to take over the shares and even put them in Puebla.

The problem did not lie in what Argentine Pablo Guede’s team did, but rather what Cruz Azul failed to do, which with Vicente Sánchez on the bench wanted to invent a line of four where the players never felt comfortable. and they were the worst 44 minutes since a year ago for the Celeste Machine in the first half.

Because Rotondi was put in the midfield and not on the wing where he is very dangerous, while Jorge Sánchez, Gonzalo Piovi, Willer Ditta and Omar Campos never settled in at the back, while in midfield with Lorenzo Faravelli, Carlos Rodríguez, Ignacio Rivero and Carlos Rotondi, they did not fit in either.

The lack of rhythm meant that Gabriel “Toro” Fernández and Ángel Sepúlveda were decoration pieces and never generated danger up front. facilitating the work of the people of Puebla who in the first half were masters and lords of the actions.

It was not enough for the Machine

In the second half, the new coach made moves with Luka Romero and Erik Lira in the attack by Ángel Sepúlveda and Omar Campos, returning to his line of three, where Rotondi returned to the left sector to combine with the debutant Luka Romero, causing the first 15 minutes of the complementary part to give the impression of being the old Cruz Azul.
