One goal
was all it took to decide who would win this game. America faced off
against Pachuca this past weekend. Just three minutes into the game,
Christian Benitez scored for his team, keeping them in the lead for the rest of
the game. Pachuca had many misses during the rest of the game, keeping
Las Aguilas on their toes, but alas, the effort was futile. With this
being the first game that America has won this year in the United States, they
now await to face off against Cruz Azul and Morelia, again here in the Unites
States.
Daniel
Montenegro spoke about his thoughts on how the team was doing, after the game
this weekend. He mentioned how these pre-season games allow El Piojo to
figure out who he will choose as his eleven starters for Apertura 2012.
“These games allow him to view his options and choose the best,” he
stated. He also said that the team is doing well, in this opinion, and
that these games allow for them to set a rhythm based on how each plays.
“There is little time before the tournament, the important thing now is to
start warming up for the first game against Monterrey.”
In other
news, Giovanni Dos Santos was interviewed this weekend where he voiced his
yearning to be on Las Aguilas team. “I am an Americanista, everyone knows
that, I have stated it before and in the future, I want to be part of that
team.” For the moment Dos Santos is playing for Tottenham Hotspur in
Europe, but if he were to come back to Mexican soil, he wants to be part of
this team. He stated that there is no talk about transferring to another
team for the time being, but becoming part of the Aguilas is his dream.
I leave
you with some questions, because this topic is very much talked about since Dos
Santos mentioned that he wanted to become part of the Blue & Cream
team. Is it a good idea for Dos Santos to become part of the team?
Will it be the end of his soccer career if he should become part of the team,
as some say? What do you think? Until next time!
