Cruz Azul secured three golden points in the match against Tijuana, but one of the goals that caught the most attention was the goal of the former player of La Máquina who celebrated with great excitement and left aside the respect for his ex-team. Nacho Rivero, former player of Cruz Azul, revealed in an interview with FOX why he celebrated his goal against his ex-team in the match against Tijuana.
"You said it well, without more, I live football in a very intense way, maybe they can't understand or get angry or have their reasons", he mentioned.
"When I was at Cruz Azul, I scored a goal, I shouted, I gave myself because at that time I defended that jersey, I gave myself body and soul, no one can reproach me, today I defend this (...) They gave me a place for me, for my family that was my support", he highlighted.
How was the match?
The first half seemed that the goals would never be present in 'La Perrera', since the first of them fell until the 44th minute, when a beautiful cross by Mora made Ignacio Rivero sign a goal with a shot in front of the goal.
But the tie did not arrive so late, since in just a couple of minutes, Nicolás Ibáñez managed to score a goal against a clearance by Toño Rodríguez, who had already made a great save previously.
In the second half, Morita's show was complete, since in front of a Máquina without real opportunities of danger, the young Mexican found a ball on the outskirts of the area and from the left wing began to conduct, cut and shoot to beat everyone in the blue goal.
Is Loco Abreu staying?
Abreu expressed himself through a parable of his commitment: "Then, if the captain leaves and the ship is left in the middle of the sea without a captain, what will the sailors think of the captain? The captain is the last one to sink in the ship".
"I understand all the noise, obviously it exists. It was a trend this last day everything that was spoken, apart from social media replicates much more, but I repeat the same: I try to have coherence, respect, valuation and gratitude", he catapulted.
Cruz Azul is currently in ninth place in the Liga MX with 6 points, 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss in 3 games. In the general classification, they are 4 points behind the leaders Club América. Their next match will be against Club América at home on September 13.
