The departures of Luis Romo and Yoshimar Yotún apparently weakened Cruz Azul’s midfield , however, the celestial players hit the table with the hiring of Carlos Rodríguez and Erik Lira , who are called to be referents of the team and the National Team.
The revolution reached La Noria with the surprising departures of the aforementioned. And it is that when it seemed that the Machine was detaching itself from the heroes of the ninth with a backup plan, the directive responded with two youthful bombings.
On the one hand, Carlos Rodríguez, 25 years old and with an enviable record behind his back, will be an interesting element for Juan Reynoso , since he is an all-terrain midfielder capable of putting a decisive ball in the rival area, but also with sacrifice. for the recovery of the ball.
Such has been the growth in the First Division that Gerardo Martino, Technical Director of the Mexican National Team, has contemplated it throughout his process with the tricolor, and hopes that ‘Charly’ will resume his calm celestial level to take him to Qatar 2022.
It should be noted that his most recent achievement was neither more nor less than hanging the bronze medal at Tokyo 2020.
Meanwhile, Erik Lira, arrived at Cruz Azul silently, because both the Machine and the Pumas know the potential of the university youth squad who gave a lot to talk about during the previous Liguilla.
The 21-year-old has shown character and strength to perform as a defensive midfielder, but also to handle himself off the pitch.
In addition, after 2021 where he was consolidated in the maximum circuit, Gerardo Martino already considered him to wear the shirt of the National Team.
