Xolos Tijuana 3-0 Veracruz marcador global

¡Xoloitzcuintles campeón del Apertura 2010!

TIJUANA.- Con un impresionante despliegue de energía, futbol inteligente y el apoyo de una afición totalmente entregada, el equipo de Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente consiguió su primer título en su corta existencia, al derrotar 1-0 en casa a Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz, en el encuentro de "vuelta" de la gran final del torneo Apertura 2010 de la Liga de Ascenso.

River Plate teenager Erik Lamela was attracting international attention before he even scored his first goal for the club. When he did hit the net for the first time in a game against Colón on 5 December 2010 at the age of 18, it was a fine dink over the goalkeeper to finish off a brilliant team goal.

Monterrey después de haber sido Superlíder y haber jugado la Libertadores y estar participando en la Concachampions, paralelamente estaba jugando el Apertura 2010. Un torneo lleno de esperanzas, un torneo con ilusiones renovadas, un torneo en donde regresó Humberto Suazo y se veía un mucho mejor equipo que el del Bicentenario.

Inmediatamente se anunció el árbitro para el duelo de Ida de la Final del Apertura 2010 y comenzaron los comentarios de 'incomodidad' hacia el trabajo que realiza Marco Antonio Rodríguez.

El siempre polémico 'Chiquidrácula' históricamente ha dado de qué hablar, que siempre quiere ser protagonista, que es muy rigorista en sus marcaciones y inclusive muchos Rayados lo estigmatizan por la polémica final que pitó hace cinco años en el Tec.

On 17 October 2010 Godoy Cruz hosted River Plate in the Apertura 2010 tournament. The first goal of the game was this unbelievable own goal from Leonardo Sigali. Godoy Cruz recovered to earn a 2-2 draw. For more crazy South American football check out the rest of the Cosas locas series.

Rayados es el Campeón del Apertura 2010.
Con un contundente 3 a 0, hechos en 2 ocasiones por el estelar Chupete Suazo y uno mas de Basanta, supieron aprovechar las facilidades que el Santos mostró en la vuelta de la final.
Con un Santos que jugó mas con ganas que con orden y solo por minutos, ya que en muchos lapsos del partido tal parecía que renunciaban al campeonato y no parecía que estaban jugando la final, mientras los Rayados a paso firme sellaron una temporada llena de éxitos y consiguen su segundo campeonato en menos de un años para llegar a 4 estrellas en su escudo.

Yo no había visto las imágenes de Oswaldo Sánchez cuando recoge su trofeo de sub-campeón enojado y deja a Don Necio, digo... Don Decio de María con cara de ¡What!

Todavía no se cumple un año desde aquel 13 de Diciembre del 2009, cuando ya hemos tenido la oportunidad de festejar dos campeonatos, un logro que no cualquier equipo hace, y un logro que esos equipos llamados "grandes" ya quisieran haber obtenido. Gracias a Dios hemos tenido la oportunidad de gozarlos, y de festejar un campeonato en el Tec desde hace 24 años.

En lo que va de la semana y todavía con una resaca de felicidad, he tenido la desagradable experiencia de escuchar a diferentes personajes de los medios y obviamente a aficionados del equipo de en frente, criticar la forma en la que los jugadores Rayados festejaron el campeonato que nos acaban de regalar, hacen hincapié en las burlas en demasía a su equipo y argumentan la falta de humildad de los del Monterrey ante este suceso.

Preámbulo

En el futbol, el papel táctico que desempeña cada jugador, en su posición, tiene su peculiaridad. Las posiciones más asediadas por los espectadores son las que generan los goles: los delanteros y los mediocampistas ofensivos.

Podemos citar aquí la nomenclatura de dichas posiciones:

- El # 9: Es el centro delantero del equipo que es dueño del área rival.
