a tough trip to Cancún
By: j | April 25th, 2008This has to be one of the most challenging if not distracting road-trips for any team in the Primera División, as Monterrey heads to Cancún to play Atlante. Arriving early today the club engaged in a short training session and by all accounts is healthy and continuing to gel under Ricardo Lavolpe’s direction. Injuries are fairly limited excluding Pierre Ibarra’s knee and the all-important injury to Humberto Suazo that he suffered last week, is apparently fine. With Lavolpe noting; “the one that does not come to win, ciao”, the message is quite clear that they are pushing for the top spots in the league.
This is a key match for the club as a victory can add distance away from Atlas which has a very tough test against San Luis that is complicated with a series of injuries and a short week in which they played Colo Colo in the Copa Libertadores Tuesday. Considering Santos poor away record, a victory this weekend could see the Rayados within a few points of the top spot of Group 2. To be successful they will need to overcome their anemic offensive weakness on the road and voraciously attack Atlante, which has cleaned-up its porous defensive problems recently.
