Despite the visit of Ricardo Salinas Pliego, owner of the team and who tried to motivate the players with a big economic bet, the Mazatlan fell back into the Closing 2023 and with that, the players of the team will now have to pay almost 600,000 pesos (among them all) to the big boss of the institution.

The bone “Cañeros” of Mazatlan they lost for the seventh time in this tournament, this time against the UNAM Cougars In the stadium kraken and thus sink further into the basement of the general table, because after eight games played, he accumulates only one point following his draw against the White roosters of Querétaro on day 8.

Besides the defeat of the Mazatlan team, one of the problems that attracted the most attention was the presence of Ricardo Salinas in the commitment with the “Universitarios”, because he wanted to talk to the players of the club because of the bad results they had obtained during the Closing 2023. It was before jumping onto the pitch that the club owner offered a bet to give them some extra motivation.

Ricardo Salinas’ bet

“I’m sure you have what it takes to get ahead, but maybe not. Let’s make a bet. If you lose today, you’ll give me $30,000 to buy two golf carts.… and I will deduct them from your payroll, but if they win, I’ll give them 300 grand and you share it. Do they accept or not? mentioned the boss of Aztec TV.

Later, Ricardo He pointed out that despite being a bet, he would be very happy to lose, as it would mean an improvement within the overall picture. “I’m sure they’ll beat me, I’ll be very happy, because anyway I will buy my carts and you will receive your price. It doesn’t matter, the important thing is that you think you can prepare to win, right?

After playing the 90 minutes against the “Auriazul” team, the Mazatlan team ended up losing the match 2-1 against a team that was also going through a bad moment and reached the commitment with three consecutive defeats. At the end of the first period, Nicholas Benedetti put the locals ahead, but in the second half, Edward Salvio and Ignatius Dinenno they overturned the score.

Once the fall of the place is completed, Salinas Pliego sent a message through his social networks, stressing that the team will remain in Mazatlan and that despite the defeat, he had fun inside the stadium. “We didn’t win but we had fun and that’s what the money is for…to pass it on to every mother. Definitely Mazatlan in Mazatlán… even a poor person like me feels like a millionaire.

In this way, the “Cañeros” continued for at least two more days as the colero of the Closing 2023, because as already mentioned, he collected only one unit; while the penultimate place in the table (Querétaro) reached five units, which is why it is impossible to reach them on the 10th day.

Then we leave the following three commitments from Mazatlán:
