It’s only a matter of time before Cruz Azul slips up.
It’s part of their identity. Well-known as a “bad luck” club that shoots themselves in the foot when everything is going right, Cruz Azul have proven — time and time again in recent years — to stumble when it looks like everything is going their way.
And when we’re looking at some of their latest results, they do seem to be edging closer and closer towards snapping their winning streak. Of their last six victories, five of them were gained through a 1-0 scoreline.
This isn’t to belittle what Cruz Azul have accomplished, more so, it’s an observation of the margins at which they are gaining their success.
With manager Juan Reynoso leading the charge and silencing his doubters, Cruz Azul’s starters and depth players are worthy of an immense amount of praise for what they have done. That said, as mentioned earlier, they’ve played with fire far too many times and they could soon get burned by any eager club in Liga MX — and especially by one with a point to prove.
Regardless Of Their Lack Of Wins, Chivas Have Remained Competitive Through Countless Draws
It’s perhaps a lazy point to make, but it’s an obvious one: Chivas know how to get draws. That’s probably from the perspective of an optimist, but if you’re asking a more realistic pessimist: Chivas play well but fail to capitalize on chances that should be giving them wins.
A look at some of their latest run of games does plenty to highlight this. With five draws in their last seven games — and three in just their last four — Chivas have done an excellent job of remaining competitive while also unfortunately struggling with finishing.
It was apparent in their last two draws. Following 1-1 results against Santos and Mazatlan, the stats line showcased the fact that Chivas outshot their opponents. They aren’t playing poorly and do create chances, and looking ahead to this weekend, they should be able to test Cruz Azul’s net.
A player that hasn’t been discussed enough for Cruz Azul is Jesus “Chuy” Corona. Regularly seen as an aging captain that should eventually (and perhaps quickly) give his gloves to those next in line, the 40-year-old has continued to be a wall in net.
According to WyScout’s “Prevented Goals” statistic, in the last two Liga MX seasons, Corona is only second to Santos’ Carlos Acevedo when it comes to denying goalscoring opportunities. When looking at saves in total during that time period, Corona is third in the league.
While it’s easy to point to Cruz Azul’s long list of attacking players, recent results also point to the significance that Corona has had for the club. Without him, the current winning streak might not have lasted very long…
