They say that before you rise up again, you usually have to hit rock bottom first. I hope that is the case for Necaxa because it did look that way in this game.
The first half was actually filled with about 60% excitement from our side. We were actually making plays on both ends but unfortunately, we couldn´t capitalize on the opportunities and Indios did so, twice. So we were down 2-0 at the half and that score sunk in like nothing has ever sinked in before. I really thought this was it and I remember telling my wife at the half, ¨Si no fuera por mi papa veniendo en 2 semanas, ya comenzaria a vender estos abonos¨ and I remember thinking to myself, why make my dad suffer too.
And then it happen.
In the 2nd half things started to click. These imported players started to play their money´s worth . . . up until they had to capitalize that is. But they were making plays to have the opportunity to capitalize almost 80% of the time they had the ball. The game was actually enjoyable! Pocho was playing like a true forward. He was even making plays for his team mates. Villa earned his captain status keeping everything together and he didn´t fall once! Moreno had a good share of brilliance. Yeah, he made some awful shots the key was that he was coming at full steam. Everyone was! Perez played well again but he was playing too far back and I didn´t understand that. He should have been up more and that would created more opportunities and helped out Pocho and the rest in the offense. But it wasn´t as if they needed it. This team was on fire with creating so many opportunities but again, they couldn´t capitalize. But it was fortunate that they did twice at least to tie it but after it was tied up, they had so many more opportunities to win the game. I noticed that they are starting to understand one another and what movements they make on the field and I think it´s only gonna get better. Bernal once again made some great saves. Great saves! About 4 or 5 one-on-one great save. I know the 1st goal was somewhat his fault but the defense slipped up on that one. The 2nd goal he allowed would have been difficult for anyone to save. Up until now, I´m glad he´s in front of the net.
Now I know Indios were down 1 man for most of the 2nd half and I arguable that Necaxa had so many opportunities and were able to tied the game because of that. But they were creating those same opportunities (maybe a bit less) in the 1st half as well. IMO, if Indios hadn´t scored so early the first goal, things would have been a lot different but they did so who knows. So the question is,¨Could this be the start of something good?¨ I think so but only time will tell. We play Chivas at their home next week so I guess it´s never a better time to see if Necaxa is rising from rock bottom or just settling into mediocre. I´m gonna be bold and go on and say that we are gonna tie this game. Some might consider it stupid than bold but I see the potential in this team and from this last game, I think they are starting to see it in themselves as well. At least I hope so.

Chivas vs. Necaxa sábado 7 de febrero 19:00 horas, Estadio Jalisco
El timonel de los hidrocálidos piensa que Chivas será un cuadro peligroso aún sin sus seleccionados
AGUASCALIENTES, AGS.- A pesar de que Guadalajara no contará con sus seleccionados para su duelo de la fecha tres del Apertura 2009, el técnico del Necaxa, Raúl Arias, lo da como favorito para salir con el triunfo del estadio Jalisco el próximo sábado.
"Chivas es un equipo complicado, estará en su casa y ha iniciado mejor el campeonato así que es favorito en este partido, creo que vamos a enfentar a un Chivas difícil, anímicamente fuerte y creo que va a ser un buen partido", expuso el estratega.
Arias descartó que el hecho de que el "Rebaño Sagrado" tenga varios jugadores con la selección nacional vaya a influir para que Necaxa pueda salir con el resultado del Jalisco, pues sabe de la calidad del rival que enfrentarán.
"No, no creo que sea ventaja porque quien juegue va a tratar de hacerlo bien, porque anímicamente están motivados; no creo que tengamos ventaja, nosotros no tendremos a Fernando López, mientras Luis Omar y (Víctor) Píriz están en duda y no teníamos presupuestadas estas bajas", sostuvo.
A pesar de eso, sabe que ante el conjunto tapatío será un partido abierto "definitivamente, porque Chivas estará en su casa, porque es un equipo que propone y da más espacios, eso debemos aprovecharlo porque los equipos a los que hemos enfrentado se meten atrás y eso nos complica".
Por otra parte, Raúl Arias calificó de positiva la reunión que sostuvieron los directores técnicos y los capitanes de equipos con la Comisión de Arbitraje de la FMF, "creo que fue un buen acercamiento y es importante que todos colaboremos para buscar la mejoría de nuestro futbol".
De la misma manera, lamentó la salida de Javier Aguirre del Atlético de Madrid y ahora lo ve como una buena opción para la selección.
"A Javier siempre se le ha considerado como una buena opción, pero creo que no quiere salir de España y me parece que está un poco saturado de futbol en este momento; si se llega a tomar alguna decisión, ojalá sea a favor de él", indicó.
Por su parte, el delantero Alfredo Moreno dijo que Necaxa "deberá mejorar en todos los sentidos, en todas las líneas, hemos trabajado para eso y vamos avanzando para encontrar la regularidad y que el equipo se haga fuerte".
"Creo que en ese sentido, Chivas será un referente porque es un buen equipo, tiene una buena base de jugadores que ya se conocen pero nosotros vamos a hacer un buen partido, a trabajarlo de la mejor manera, ya Raúl (Arias) sacará conclusiones de cómo manejarlo pero de entrada vamos a salir con gran actitud", señaló
