Pumas sends Veracruz to Primera A
By: Albert | April 27th, 2008
I guess this is a small accomplishment. Finally a win for Pumas. After not qualifying for the Liguilla last week, atleast the Pumas from UNAM sent the Tiburones Rojos from Veracruz to the 2nd division of the Mexican League. During the 2-4 win in the Pirata Fuentes stadium in Veracruz, the red sharks were fighting for their existence in the first division of the Mexican League. Pumas ruined those dreams for the players and for the fans. I felt sad as some of the fans, holding back tears, still cheered for their team after the loss. Also, one of the defensive players was crying during an interview after the game as well.
Miguel Herrera, coach for Veracruz, said that this is not the team that he thought it was. Although he didn’t blame the players directly, when he was asked, his words did indicate that some players didn’t give their all. They didn’t defend their house with their life. He also stated that he is not sure if he will coach the team in Primera A, as discussions with the upper office will have to take place before that decision is made. I really think he will bail. We will probably see him as an assistant for Lavolpe, serving him Gatorade and buying him cigarettes.
Well, I have talked more Veracruz than Pumas in this post, but this is where the interesting facts are found. Pumas now needs to relook their system and fix it for next season. They really need to put some money on a crucial game changing player. Get rid of the old and start some new players.
