The emotional bond between the Peruvian midfielder Yoshi Yotún and the Cruz Azul fans remains intact, especially after the recent and heroic coronation of the “Machine” in the Clausura 2026 tournament. The achievement of the coveted tenth star against Pumas UNAM was an event that the national player lived with great intensity. The national midfielder did not hide his immense joy for stepping back into the American country and sharing pleasant moments. “Happy, I love Mexico, my children came a long time ago, they had a lot of time there in Mexico City, reuniting with friends, eating tacos, eating everything, so I'm very happy to come back here to Mexico”, confessed 'Yoshi'. Asked specifically if he followed the recent final where Cruz Azul was crowned champion, the footballer confirmed his fandom. “I saw it, I saw it, I saw it. Very happy, very happy that it reached the tenth, it's important, the club deserves it. The team was very good, I suffered as if I were part of the team, but very happy for Cruz Azul and for having achieved the tenth”, expressed. The former cementer player analyzed the dramatic development of the decisive match against Pumas, recognizing the suffering before the comeback. “I suffered at the end, I saw the whole game, when Pumas scored the goal, I said, Wednesday, here comes the night, comes what always leaves Cruz Azul, but I think the team always believed in what they were doing and finally scored a goal with Rotondi there”, recounted. Before the inevitable question about a possible return to the Liga MX to wear the blue jersey again, he left the doors completely open. “Of course, of course, Cruz Azul is the only team in Mexico that I have played for, so I have a very special affection for them and it's a big team that treated me very well and was very happy here”, assured. The Peruvian midfielder also spoke about the defeat of the Peruvian national team against Spain in the recent FIFA date, highlighting the difficulty of the match and the importance of improving in the future. “Very difficult, very difficult because it's a team that has a lot of time playing together, has great players in the best leagues in the world, serves a lot to see where we are and surely there are positive things and errors like all the games, but we're going to try to improve”, detailed. Finally, the Peruvian player expressed his optimism about the reconstruction of the team and the contribution of the new technical staff. “A lot of courage, a lot of desire, has very good players too... we still have until September next year to start the eliminatories and be able to have a consolidated group. Mano Menezes is a coach who has many cards, is a coach who has a lot of experience and is going to help us a lot”, concluded the Peruvian player.
