The Cruz Azul vs Puebla Liga MX match will be broadcast live online and on TV as La Maquina hosts La Franja at the Estadio Azteca this Saturday, January 16, at 5:00 p.m. Pacific.
Cruz Azul was one of the best teams in the Liga MX last season, but had a disastrous playoff crash, losing a 4-0 lead and falling to Pumas UNAM in the semifinals. Former manager Robert Dante Siboldi left the Mexico City team shortly after the semifinal embarrassment as Juan Reynoso is now in charge of the club.
The Peruvian manager did not have a great start to his tenure at Cruz Azul as La Maquina lost to Santos Laguna 1-0 last week. Los Celestes have enough talent to be a serious title-contender, but several other factors may be holding the team back like the decision to hire a pragmatic manager like Juan Reynoso.
Puebla previously was under the guidance of Reynoso, but did not enjoy much success until last season, when Los Camoteros made the quarterfinals. La Franja went a completely different route with their new manager in 36-year-old Nicolas Larcamon, who implements a more aggressive style of play.
Puebla had a 1-1 draw against Chivas to start the new season as the team looked very different under Larcamon. Santiago Ormeno scored the lone goal for Puebla against Chivas as he continues to be a vital player. New goalkeeper Antony Silva also had a terrific debut with several key saves for Larcamon’s side.
