00:00No championship for Pumas, my friends.
00:02It was a tough game,
00:04pero no se arm贸.
00:05No se arm贸 la octava.
00:07Congratulations to Cruz Azul.
00:09Pumas la Cruz Azul le贸, my friends.
00:11Oh, you're being a good sport about it.
00:13I'm being a good sport because my team did everything they could.
00:16They had a good tournament.
00:17They played the off season with a lot of grit, a lot of garra y coraz贸n.
00:24Unfortunately, the reality is that Pumas is a short team,
00:26that the moment that they had an injury on the field,
00:28there was no reaction to that.
00:30And they were forced to bring on experienced players like Antuna
00:36and destroy the game plan completely.
00:39Let's break it down, my friends.
00:41The game was on Pumas' side all night long.
00:45They had everything that they needed.
00:48Cruz Azul was the offensive powerhouse, as we all knew that it will be.
00:52Pumas have been training for five games at this point
00:55on how to develop a defensive game plan,
00:58and hold the back, try to, you know, surprise with Pantera.
01:03But it wasn't the case.
01:04They were not quite deadly up front, Chivas.
01:07And that's the reason why Pumas no is campe贸n.
01:11There is a lot of reasons why Pumas is not campe贸n.
01:13One of them being the fact that Frank Ju谩rez was very criticized for not having a reaction.
01:20And so the people criticizing el, 驴c贸mo le dec铆as?
01:24Arist贸teles.
01:25Arist贸teles.
01:25I mean, how can he have a reaction with the limited team that he had?
01:30I mean, just finishing at first place, the fact that he made it to the final,
01:34it's already a lot for what the team had, Pumas, without that respect.
01:38Most of it was Garra, was Coraz贸n.
01:41And when you play a team like Cruz Azul that you can, you know, turn to the bench,
01:44and you're going to see a lot of really good players on the bench,
01:47it makes a difference.
01:48And then on top of that, you get a player like Antuna that, unfortunately for him,
01:51he hasn't done anything in any of the teams that he has played for.
01:55He goes in, gets that stupid red card right at the middle.
01:59Childish.
02:00Childish red card that, you know, there's a lot of controversy going on,
02:03because the same ref did not give a red card to a Cruz Azul player in the Chivas game,
02:07and a very similar play, even a more aggressive play.
02:11So anyway, mucha controversia, sin Yolanda, at the end of the day,
02:15es que el amor es azul como el.
02:17Felicidades, Cruz Azul, felicidades.
02:19Oh, my God.
02:20You can't blame the ref all that much.
02:22This is the same Pumas that basic, or I think it was Carrasquilla,
02:26who tackled one of the America players against America and gave a stupid...
02:30No, to your point, Carrasquilla was an enforcer throughout the game.
02:34And, actually, little trivia, on the regular season, Cruz Azul versus Pumas,
02:41Carrasquilla had a horrendous, horrendous foul on a Cruz Azul player,
02:46and he not even got a yellow card.
02:48He also had some very strong plays, but that is the role of Carrasquilla and Pumas.
02:52I think Pumas was tired after an amazing season of playing absolutely great,
02:57staying at the top of the table the entire season and playing their you-know-what's-off.
03:02But it came to the end, and I called it last week.
03:05I said, this is a team that is going to have a different path as Cruz Azul,
03:08who struggled tooth and nail to get there.
03:11And, unfortunately, for Pumas, Cruz Azul looked like they were falling apart.
03:15Let's be real.
03:15Right before this, before the playoffs, before everything,
03:17this was a squad that was falling apart.
03:19They showed grit, they showed power, and they didn't have the same kind of,
03:22I want to say, you guys criticized me for this last time, easier path in the Klausura.
03:28And I think it showed, in the end, it showed for Pumas, who looked a little bit more fatigued,
03:33a little bit more tired, and then put themselves in that position to make those silly mistakes,
03:37like what Carrasquilla did against America, what Antuna did here.
03:41I mean, these are mistakes that shouldn't have happened,
03:43and I think it comes down to them being a little more tired,
03:45a little physically less fit than Cruz Azul's side.
03:48So that's what I wanted to say.
