Here are some of the main takeaways from the ninth week of play in the 2019 Liga MX Apertura.
Siboldi era at Cruz Azul off to a quiet start
Perhaps no team made more noise during the international break than La Máquina Cementera de la Cruz Azul. After a string of somewhat negative results, upper management decided to go into complete utter meltdown. Eventually, all parties opted to vent their frustrations on live television, and long story short, coach Pedro Caixinha and well-respected sporting director Ricardo Pelaez turned out to be the team’s only casualties. With Robert Siboldi now as manager and against a Veracruz team that hasn’t won a game in literally ages, it was only fitting that they had to settle for a quiet 0-0 draw against Los Tiburones.
