bring on Chivas!

By: j | May 12th, 2008

Well here it is, the start of the Liguilla and Monterrey’s route to the Copa will go through Chivas.

After a week off, the team has been experimenting with a more offensive formation and there has been some rumbling of dissent between Ricardo Lavolpe and Humberto Suazo. Although the rumors have have come and gone quickly, tactical decisions are crucial with matches on Wednesday (@ the Tecnológico in Monterrey) and Saturday (@ Estadio Jalisco).

A key to the Rayados success will be controlling set plays by Chivas, reducing the defensive lapses that have plagued them, off-setting the Chivas home-pitch dominance and the mid-field readying the table for counter attacks by Humberto Suazo and Jared Borgetti. Whether the new formation that will see Robert de Pinho center Suazo and Borgetti remains to be seen but this is certainly the most tactically exciting of the Liguilla.
