Basted in a half-table, but with the possibility of qualifying for the final, the lion of James Rodríguez will test his new course in the Mexican league in a demanding duel against the leader Toluca.
The beginnings in the House of the Mexican coach Ignacio Ambriz, replacement of the Eduardo Berizzo Argentin, who resigned last weekend, is one of the strong letters of the twelfth day of the opening.
“Only the daily work will allow us to aspire to a ticket in the game in the region (Rechaje),” said Ambriz after adopting the position of a team that barely won one of its last five championship games.
Ambriz, 60, took the Fiera in the eleventh position of the championship with 12 points, seven of the direct classification stands (1 to 6) and one of the fun areas (7 to 10). Six dates subtract from the regular phase of the tournament.
On Saturday at the Nou Camp Stadium, for the twelfth date of the tournament, the lion will ask for the resurrection when he receives the toluca of the Argentinian coach Antonio Mohamed, who runs the championship with 25 points.
In addition to directing the table and defending the crown, the Red Devils arrive enharmed after winning the Cup champions on Wednesday by winning the Los Angeles galaxy.
Toluca will seek to extend its sequences from five consecutive victories in the league and keep leadership alone, because Monterrey also has 25 units.
The Rayados of Sergio Ramos will visit Tijuana (6th) Sunday by the Uruguayan coach Sebastián Abreu.
The expenses of the current Mexican coach Javier Aguirre, Nacho Ambriz are recognized for profesing intense and dynamic football.
His football philosophy generates the way he can take advantage of the talent of the Colombian star James Rodríguez, facing the last section of the regular phase.
“I should know how to get there with my way of being,” said Ambriz, and explained that the first contact with the team was with the creative coffee. “He has the illusion, he wants to be champion,” he added.
In the Apertura 2025 current tournament, the captain of the Colombian national team played eight of the 11 games. In the other three, he was not summoned by an injury, a problem that his career has weighed in recent years, Berizzo reported at the time.
With only 10 goals in favor, the lion is one of the worst offensives of the tournament (17 out of 18), and James, who had ups and downs, contributed two scores and aid.
For Ignacio Ambriz, it will be his second stage at the head of the lion. The first went between 2018 and 2021, a period in which he won a League title (Guard1anes or opening in 2020) and lost a final (2019 fence).
He then undertook three without success: Huesca, from the second division of Spain; Toluca and Santos in Mexico.
“They say that the second parts are not the same, I say that they are never the same, or they are very good or very bad,” said Ambriz.
The reality of Ambriz’s reality with the lion in front of Toluca represents for him the opportunity for personal reprisals, because in 2023, he was dismissed by the Red Devils.
The DT has filed a complaint for lack of payment of the contract in force. The club won the controversy.
