The technical director of the Cruz Azul Machine of Liga MX, Ricardo ‘Tuca’ Ferretti, decided to speak during a press conference about what he is preparing to face Inter Miami of Major League Soccer (MLS) on July 21. in what will be their participation in the 2023 League Cup, a competition in which the cement producers will seek to win the title of champion.
These statements were made by the strategist at the La Noria facilities after leaving the press conference over the weekend after the 2-0 defeat he suffered against the Rojinegros del Atlas on the first day of the Apertura 2023 tournament of the MX League ; In his words, he mentioned the possible presence of Argentine Lionel Messi in the team’s eleventh for the duel they will have and assured that he is not afraid of him because he is not a “seven-headed monster.”
“I still haven’t played against Toluca (Day 2) and you want me to think about Messi, man… Let me sleep peacefully yet. Right now I want the complete group, to be able to look for the best for Saturday (against Toluca), then for the other Friday (against Xolos) and when I play there in Miami, well, then I will think about what we are going to do during the week. Neither (Messi) is a monster with seven heads, he is a super player and the others are too. I don’t think we sing bad rancheras either,” Ferretti said.
The sky-blue strategist also spoke about the possible arrival of Alan Pulido from MLS to his team. However, he assured that it is a complicated issue and that he will always have the doors open within the Aztec organization to reinforce its offense that strongly needs players of great forcefulness.
“I would like Alan Pulido, but it is very complicated. He is a Mexican player, I debuted him once and if he came he would be welcome. We know about the player’s ability and I think he could contribute something interesting, ”added the strategist.
To finish, the coach denied the rumors in various media that assured his desire to resign for the Apertura 2023 tournament of the MX League; He stressed that his only headache is not having the full squad due to the participation of some of his figures in the Gold Cup and that he must generate a strategy to avoid losing more games.
“You invent everything. There was none of that (a resignation), concern yes… one wants to work with the team as soon as possible. Not having 28 players, 20 of whom were from the Under-20 and Under-18s, they deserve and will have a chance, but at that time my concern, and there continues to be concern, about having the full squad. I did not come to train the Under-20 or Under-18 ”, he concluded.
