Chivas Owner Amaury Vergara Challenges Liga MX Decision on National Team Players
A recent decision regarding Mexico national team players has caused a stir in Liga MX. Initially, all Mexican national team players in the domestic league were supposed to take a break to prepare for the World Cup. However, this changed when it was revealed that Jesús Gallardo and Alexis Vega were allowed to return to their club, Toluca, for a crucial match against LAFC. This exception sparked controversy and criticism.
Chivas owner Amaury Vergara reacted swiftly to the situation. He argued that if Toluca was granted an exception, then the agreement should not apply to other clubs. With five national team call-ups, Chivas has the most players affected by this decision. Vergara wasted no time in instructing his players and front office to ignore the agreement and report to the club for their upcoming match against Tigres.
Vergara emphasized the importance of all parties respecting agreements for them to work. Chivas is currently facing a challenging situation after losing the first leg of the quarterfinals. Having their full squad available for the return match could significantly impact the outcome. The decision to go against the agreement is a bold move with potentially high stakes for Chivas.
