In the night between Friday and Saturday, when Veracruz and Chivas gave the first kick of the ball official Dynamo , offered as usual by the brand Mexican Voit , has started the ‘ Opening 2015 , thirty-ninth tournament of the short history of the Mexico , and with it a new season of Liga MX . Cuauhtemoc Blanco is gone, elected mayor of Cuernavaca for Socialdemócrata Partido de Morelos, just as there is more Ronaldinho , the big hit last season, which after leaving the stadium during the final between Santos Laguna and Querétaro has decided to continue the journey, returning to his homeland to play for Fluminense.
The high-sounding names, however, are not lacking, although not to leave too much room for competition of MLS, which between Pirlo and Gerrard takes home as a specialty Mexican Giovani dos Santos. The faces exotic start to be too many for someone who wants the new rules to prevent the massive use of non-native players: The new season starts with 146 players born outside the borders of the United States of Mexico, including 79 registered as aliens (with a limit of five per team), 17 Mexicans born abroad and 50 foreign “naturalized” who have acquired passport and they can be used without restriction. Impressive also the number of foreigners on the bench: only six out of eighteen teams have a Mexican coach.
SANTOS – The only European coach is Pedro Caixinha , the Portuguese remained at the helm of the Santos Laguna champion. The team that crashed in the final Queretaro has remained the same, with the trio of Argentines arrived from Lanus in 2014 (the goalkeeper marchesin , Izquierdoz and González ) and striker Verdean Djaniny Tavares ; in addition, there is the new number 10, the Chilean class ’94 Bryan Rabello , an admirer and someone heir of Mati Fernández, arrived after the termination of the contract with Sevilla. For the rest of the plan remains the same since Alejandro Irarragorri is driving the club: cost (no player is among the ten highest paid in the league), mean age generally low and development of players for resale priced important (see Oribe Peralta and Carlos Darwin Quintero, sold to America a year ago).
QUERÉTARO – The other finalist last half remained without Ronaldinho, who in his season had given Mexican assists by applause, but also too many distractions. The failed assault on Robinho , who declined to China, the Gallos Blancos are still the team of Brazilians: four those in pink, the beautiful number 10 Sinha , now thirty-nine, a Camillo Sanvezzo , star player and top scorer in the Opening 2014. Among the latest purchases, inevitably lacking the glamor of Dinho, even that of the national Paraguayan Edgar Pájaro Benítez.
It is Ronaldinho, however, that goal, that is …
MONTERREY – to be talked about, most of all, however, was the city of Monterrey. 2015 should have been, at least in intention, the year of the Rayados , who celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the founding of the club, as well as special commemorative shirts, with ‘ inauguration of the new stadium, scheduled for August 2 against Benfica . Fourth plant in the country for capacity with its 51000 seats, the BBVA Bancomer has an irregularly shaped roof inspired by the industrial heritage and the Cerro de la Silla , mountain symbol of the city; the new arena has been paid, in addition to the usual spot, even a song; to the fans, after greeting the old Technology, it remains to pay a bill rather salty, the ‘ subscription dearest of the championship. Paying out an amount between 3700 and 11,000 pesos will be possible, for the next six months, the exploits of Colombian former Parma Dorlan Pabón , top scorer last Clausura, and his compatriot Edwin Cardona , midfielder from great technical qualities; in summer are then arrived the Uruguayan Walter Gargano , a veteran of eight seasons in Serie A, and the Argentine striker Rogelio Funes Mori , known for the curious career that began with victory the reality show Sueño MLS and continued between River Plate, Benfica and Eskişehirspor. Leading all the Turkish Mohamed , Argentinian coach who won the title in his last two experiences in Mexico, leaving a winner Azteca unison shouting his nickname in the day of victory of the season.
TIGRES – This should be sufficient, in the opinion of experts, to make the Monterrey one of the main candidates for the title. The main threat is, undoubtedly, the city rivals, protagonists of a session of the transfer market with few precedents in the continent. Ritrovatasi with Tigres in the semifinals of Copa Libertadores , the multinational cement CEMEX has decided it was worth and led in northern Mexico , to improve a team that last season had reached a final and collected together to America, the most points of all, two parameters such as zero André-Pierre Gignac , the highest paid in the league with the His 3.6 million euro in the season, and the Nigerian Ikechukwu Uche , then spending nine million to the outside of Pachuca and fastest player in the world, Jurgen Damm , also followed by Rome, and another five for Javier Aquino , returning from Spain and experiences with Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano. The new arrivals were recorded from the start, helping to eliminate the Internacional and get access to the final of the South American tournament: the goal is to be the first Mexican team to lift the trophy and, given the resources available, to win everything possible .

AMÉRICA – Less eventful summer in Mexico City. For Club América, who last season topped the Chivas, becoming the first team of the country for number of championships won, winning then the CONCACAF Champions League , start a important season, with the Club World in December and the celebrations for the centenary of the company planned for 2016: a few purchases relevant, practically the only Mexican international Javier Guemez , for a rose already competitive after last winter transfer. News on the bench, where Ignazio Ambriz will try to resist most of the six months granted to the two predecessors, which was not enough to win championships and cups to stay Azteca: some fans would already now, even before the premiere Liga MX, his exemption.
CRUZ AZUL – the most serious problems, in Distrito Federal, for the Cruz Azul . Máquina , as well as 17 teams, has to fight against supernatural forces. It all starts in the 1997 , when the team won its last championship final against León, one wizard , who would like to watch the game, not by the company receiving the aid hoped and it takes revenge by throwing a curse, that includes eight defeats in the finals before winning again or, according to other versions, it is impossible to triumph until the opponents that day were not demoted, promoted back into the top flight and came back to win a championship . Obviously we do not believe in these things, but always at the end the author of the winning goal, Paco Palencia , said jokingly that will serve another seventeen years to get back to winning. We are in the 2015 , seventeen years have passed, the Leon fell by category, moved up and won a couple of tournaments, the Cruz Azul has already lost its eight finals, some being reached in the final seconds, managing to raise some cup, but failed to win the championship. At one point the club, in desperation, he contacted the Ángeles Ezcurra , Argentine woman calling itself Armonizadora Espiritual and boasts I cleaned up the bad influences the Bombonera at the request of Boca Juniors in 1997, using water, salt and oil, but once the news became public knowledge, perhaps a fit of modesty, it was decided to leave it alone. To fight against the dark forces, when the transfer market came midfielder Marc Crosas , former Barcelona and Lyon, and the Argentines Ariel Rojas and Fernando Belluschi , which you will remember the fans of Genoa, but especially those of Fiorentina, who suffered his only goal in Serie A; a rose after all competitive, which is missing, however, after the departure of Roque Santa Cruz, a center of gravity, the role for which it was thought to Osvaldo, Amauri and Luis Fabiano. Fans not too happy about the choice of the new coach, Sergio Bueno , in its fourteenth Mexican team and still without a trophy.
PUMAS – There is a former Genoa, and not just any, also in the third town team: Dante López , Paraguayan goalscorer promotion in Series B against Salernitana in the 2005-2006 season, as indeed the shirt of Pumas, a member of a department of attack that also includes Eduardo Herrera , seen in the recent Copa América after the last high season , and the newest, the Ecuadorian Neymar Fidel Martínez , surely the most important purchase made in summer. The purpose is to encourage the playoffs, although the final victory seems beyond possibility, but most continue to collect points for not having to think too much about the Promedio and the possibility of a demotion.
ATLAS – Just think about winning, however, the ‘ Atlas of Guadalajara, who does not get the championship from the season 1950-1951 and who has played one final in the last half century: the Milan fans have had to bear a burden even higher than that of the character of Greek mythology from which the club takes its name. Since 2012, with the purchase of the company by Grupo Salinas, things got better and in the summer came, among others, two elements that could prove crucial: the new coach Gustavo Matosas , that the last three years has won everything from the second set to the Champions League, and especially Gonzalo Bergessio , the striker who missed the last Atlas while positive season. The former Sampdoria and Catania has already foretaste fans its quality scoring twice to Newcastle in a friendly pre-season.
CHIVAS – Other intentions of those cousins of Chivas, impoverished nobleman who for nine years has not won the Championship and must think, first of all, to salvation. No foreigners, even naturalized, as the tradition of the club: greeted the talented Cubo Torres, back in the MLS, along with a dozen other players, the Rebaño Sagrado points all of a rose with many young people, some veterans like former PSV Eindhoven Carlos Salcido and many players have grown up in the youth club. The star, even brighter after the performance of last semester, is Marco Fabián , chose to accompany Messi on the cover of ‘ Mexican edition of FIFA 16 , remained despite rumors about a possible transfer in Europe; the man of the possible record is Omar Bravo , scoring at least two goals to become the greatest goalscorer of all time of Chivas, beating the bomber 60s Salvador Reyes . A symbolic handover, which would replicate what happened January 19, 2008, when the old glory back to dress up for a few minutes, the red and white shirt, becoming the most senior to have played in the top flight Mexican with its 72 years d ‘ age and leaving the field after the kick-off, replaced by Bravo own.
JAGUARES – Back from a controversial experience at Chivas is Ricardo La Volpe , dismissed because of allegations of chiropodist, which the coach would ask massages unorthodox . After one year, the famous Argentinian coach, known for having given to nerd around the world salida lavolpiana , back on the bench and do Tuxtla Gutierrez , with the team to the south of the championship, the Jaguares de Chiapas. Bigotón , despite not winning a championship since 1993, is an institution in Mexico: the Selva Chiapaneca can count on some reinforcement of experience , the Argentine central defender Insaurralde , need to fix a unit backlog not flawless, the Chilean Gato Silva , fresh from victory in the Copa América, withdrawn dall’Osasuna.
TIJUANA – From the northern deserts to the southern forests: in 2015, for the first time in history, two teams will play in the top of the Northwestern Mexico . Tijuana and Dorados have in common only the geographical origin and the young age, but also the owner, Jorge Alberto Hank , son of Jorge Hank, controversial politician and businessman accused of various crimes, father of nineteen children, exotic animal lover and owner of a penis donkey jacket. In this empire football Tijuana border it is definitely the flagship: the Xolos , born in 2007, supporters gathered on both sides of the border, exerting attraction to Americans of Hispanic origin and not only. More and more citizens of San Diego who cross the border to see the play Tijuana, because they can often see his compatriots at the Estadio Caliente: the team, in line with its international vocation, is the one with most foreign-born players from around the league, including thirteen foreigners, naturalized and players with dual nationality Mexican and US. The best attack last tournament, based on strikers as the Colombian Dayro Moreno and the former Chievo Gabriel Hauche , has added the Chilean Felipe Flores ; to enlighten everyone with his punishment is the eternal Juan Arango, while in goal comes Jefe Federico Vilar, like a Mattia Perin aged fifteen years.
DORADOS – Punta salvation to the other side of the family, founded in 2003 and returned to the top flight after nine years of absence. Gone are the days when the Loco Abreu and Guardiola wore the shirt of Gran Pez under the guidance of Juan Manuel Lillo , guru of the future coach of Barcelona. Pep has not forgotten the last team of his career, sending best wishes on the eve of the decisive game for promotion. Many arrivals which are expected to fight for salvation: to carry on the chest the Salminus brasiliensis will be veterans like Fernando Arce and Martín Bravo or altrettano experts Héctor Mancilla , Chilean, and Christian Suárez , Ecuadorian.
PACHUCA – Speaking of timeshare, then, the most curious case is that of the two teams belonging to Grupo Pachuca. On 19 November 2010 Jesús Martínez Patiño, owner of the Tuzos , part with his son Jesús Martínez Murguía to detect León, negotiations ended in a quarter of an hour into the trip return dad warns that the infant can take care personally of the new purchase. Since then the two have also clashed in a final and, it seems, even to some heated discussion. Known for the youth sector, which churns out players like the class ’95 Hirving Lozano and Erick Gutierrez , the Pachuca, who already could count on senior championship, the forty-porter Pérez , and attackers such as Ariel Nahuelpan and the former Ajax Darío Cvitanich , bought two offensive players such as former Benfica Jonathan Urretaviscaya and, back from a very successful experience in Italy, Argentina’s Rubén Botta . Interesting team, headed by an experienced first-hand experience in Mexico, the Uruguayan Diego Alonso , attacking former Valencia and Atletico Madrid.
LEON – Coming from a penultimate place, the Panzas Verdes link to return to the glories of the 2013-2014 season, when they won both tournaments: in bench sits still Juan Antonio Pizzi , former Barcelona striker passed recently by Valencia. The cornerstone is the captain Mauro Boselli , one of the great protagonists of the Mexican soccer since the transfer from Palermo, with its 43 goal 69 matches in all competitions. In front of William Yarbrough, goalkeeper recently convened by the US National Klinsmann, the two new central defenders with a Roman past, Guillermo Burdisso and Novaretti Diego , and to enhance the bands you is caught locally, with the arrival of Colombian Burbano and the young national ecadoriano González . And if it seems little, know that those parts of Camp No u there are those who can not wait the less famous brothers Burdisso.
TOLUCA – The former Chievo players are fashionable and also the Red Devils of Toluca made a purchase in this sense: Millonarios came from Fernando Uribe , in his second spell abroad after the four goals in a season and a half in the river Adige. The stroke of the market, most of the Argentines Bottinelli and Triverio and the return of Diego Gama loan from Atlético Madrid, where he played and scored in the UEFA Youth League, however, is the purchase of Peruvian Christian Cueva , surely one of the most positive surprises last Copa América. The third most successful team in Mexico needs a title from 2010: the aim of José Saturnino Cardozo , former Paraguayan striker and idol with his 258 goals in a red shirt, of course.
VERACRUZ – four times heroic city of Veracruz has surprised everyone, the last six months, on the football field: the Tiburones Rojos , parties with salvation as the main horizon, they finished third in the regular season, thanks to the second best attack in the league. Many goals, most of which scored by Julio Furch , lanky Argentine arrived from Belgrano and immediately ambientatosi wonders. The technical Chilean Carlos Reinoso must continue on this path, collecting further options to move away from the last positions in the ranking of Promedio: among the new arrivals the US National Joe Corona and Spanish-Mexican Aníbal Zurdo , striker who has spent his career in the lower divisions wandering football Iberian.
PUEBLA – As almost always in its recent history, the Franja fight for survival in the top flight. The recent victories in Copa Mx, on the day of farewell to Cuauhtémoc Blanco, and the Supercopa, which will allow the team to participate in the preliminary of the upcoming Copa Libertadores, the count right: the new coach Pablo Marini , Argentine with a past as a striker Tivoli , will have to think especially to keep up the direct competitors. Many, perhaps too many, market movements in and out: from Malaga on loan, has reached Ezequiel Rescaldani , Argentine striker who can help all’imprescindibile compatriot Chavo Alustiza , who with his goals kept the team afloat, and Kangaroo Rey .
MORELIA – The Dark Side of timeshare: when the Grupo Salinas has purchased the Atlas, players and executives have left in mass Michoacán in the direction of Guadalajara. The consequence was a steep fall of the results, which is required to remedy this season not to sink nell’Ascenso. For many leading candidate to relegation, the Morelia was armed for the final battle reinforcing all departments, from the doorman Cirilo Saucedo to Paraguayan Pablo Velázquez , said portaaviones , the tip of reliability.
