Opinion: Santiago Solari, the decency that bothers

Santiago Solari It is not only good for America, but also for Mexican soccer.

In this world so applicant of today in which it is so good or bad Based on the results of the most recent experience, it is not surprising – or should not – that the ability of the América manager is called into question – by fans and supposed analysts – just because the team was eliminated from the Liguilla.

This lack of analysis and inability to measure, in this case soccer, is not exclusive to Mexico, it happens all over the world.

Every year that Pep Guardiola does not win the Champions League with Manchester City he is branded as “failed”, The millions of euros that the club has spent on signings are listed and it concludes, with a lightness Surprisingly, the technician failed.

Santiago Solari has been in charge of América for a couple of tournaments and his work cannot be classified less than impeccable. It has classified the team to the Liguilla in advance, even as the general leader, and the statistics show that it is the club that most points made in the year. It is not a small thing.

Now, he has been eliminated from the Liguilla at first exchange in the Quarterfinals, first against Pachuca for the famous away goal, in a series in which America clearly deserved more and was a worthy competitor.

And last Saturday the executioner was Pumas, who in the sum of 180 minutes beat some Eagles cautious in the Ida and overshot at home in the Vuelta.

The University Club was superior, it is soccer, it is the life. And so I accept it and Solari himself assumed, who clearly declared that they were left to duty in the decisive phase of the championship.

In the post-defeat conference, the Argentine coach spoke of enjoying the path after a soccer year in which his team always occupied the top of the table; this, without eagerness to justify himself, because at all times he said he was aware that in the Liguilla they are in debt with themselves and with their people.

However, as soon as the vaunted Americanist “failure” was consummated, the voices came out – some of several unpresentable– who demand the dismissal of Solari, claim that America was too big for him and there were even those who ventured the point of stating that “he never understood Mexican soccer”, because “one thing is the regular tournament and the Liguilla is quite another.” .. Go complexity, surely the nicknamed ‘Indiecito‘I was not aware of her.

To be clear, Santiago Solari has improved America in every way relative to the previous coach. There was no collection of expelled in each game; he was not seen insulting or entering the court to face the referee; he did not fight with any rival technician; no blamed to the VAR after some defeat; and much less demerited to his team or to one of his footballers.

On the field, some purists and demanding of the ‘soccer show‘They demand that America did not win the games by thrashing and overwhelming the rival, without noticing that the most recent tournaments of Miguel Herrera not only played badly, they suffered even to be among the first four of the table.

To talk about an America spectacular you have to go back a few decades to the team of Leo Beenhakker, because afterwards there were good, regular and bad versions, but nothing more.

With what he has, a squad without luxuries or figures as in the past, Solari put America where it should always be, at the top of the table.

But now it turns out that this read, cultured, sensitive, intelligent character, someone who came to raise the debate, is useless because America lost to Pumas. You have to be cheeky to “demand” Solari’s dismissal. So simple or so complex.

Solari came to Mexico after managing Real Madrid, Real Madrid! As if anyone could claim to have even been a candidate to sit on that bench. Come on, you have to have more rigor in the analysis and leave aside the shrillness of social media (or TV) judges asking for blood and condemning everyone without first taking a look at home.

The good news is that Santiago has one year of contract and he has already made it clear that he intends to comply with it. In Mexican soccer there are not many characters who can be learn, with which you can grow, those that make the competition richer.

Do not forget that after losing the Concacaf Final against Monterrey and with arguments to complain about an arbitration that affected them by validating a clear goal offside, Solari forced his players to stay for the award of Rayados and recognize to the Champion.

It seems that the decency the Argentine coach makes several uncomfortable who are accustomed to the insult, to ignorance, to the null speech and to distribute blame when they lose.

Welcome one and a thousand times the Solari, with everything and that couch critics are not qualified to debate ideas, and that they believe that in each tournament there are 17 coaches failed and only one ‘successful‘.
