Cruz Azul Hidalgo has become a platform for young players from La Máquina to raise their hand and fight for a chance in the first team. Under the direction of Esteban Landazábal, the expansion team works on the formation of footballers who can make the leap to the top league.
In the defensive zone, there are several names that are already starting to call attention. One of them is Josué Díaz, who adds 90 minutes played and has already received the opportunity to join the first team's call-up for the Leagues Cup, where Cruz Azul is competing in the tournament in the United States.
Another young player who already knows what it's like to play with the first team is Karol Velázquez. The defender also forms part of the blue delegation in the United States for the Leagues Cup and previously made his debut with Cruz Azul in the Concacaf Champions Cup, when Vicente Sánchez was in charge of the team.
Also appearing is Javier Suárez, currently registered with Cruz Azul Hidalgo, who emerges as an alternative to fight for a place in the right-back position of La Máquina. Diego Valdés has also stood out, who adds two games, one of them as a starter, for a total of 88 minutes played with the Cruz Azul team in the expansion category.
The project of Cruz Azul Hidalgo seeks precisely that, to give minutes and experience to young players who can be prepared to compete in the top league. With the current state of the league, Cruz Azul Hidalgo is in 6th place with 6 points, 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss in 3 games, with a +1 goal difference. The next date is against Club Tijuana, in which La Máquina will seek to maintain its winning streak.
Currently, the team has several standout players, such as Josué Díaz, Karol Velázquez, Javier Suárez and Diego Valdés, who are seeking opportunities in the first team. The league is in an exciting moment, with Cruz Azul Hidalgo fighting to maintain its position in the table. The next week will be crucial in determining the fate of La Máquina in the league.
