André Jardine full of praise for Ramón Juárez | OneFootball

Club América hosted the worst team of the tournament, Puebla, at the Azulcrema Stadium with the idea that this would be an easy match for the team, given what both clubs had shown throughout the tournament.

But contrary to this, the opponent on duty showed their best version of the tournament and for large stretches of the match were superior to the Azulcremas; América had many chances, but struggled to control the game.

André Jardine surprised everyone by bringing on Ramón Juárez in the 93rd minute of the match with the intention of placing him as center forward, and just four minutes later, he finished off a cross from Allan Saint-Maximin to give the victory to the Águilas.

André’s praise for Ramón Juárez.

In a press conference, André Jardine spoke about Ramón’s performance, showering the Águilas’ homegrown player with praise.

“He’s a special kid, the fans recognize him. Today he was decisive, this makes the difference, the greatest recognition is because he is decisive in moments like this. He’s a great defender, with outstanding decisive performances in the playoffs.

It’s not unusual to see him up front scoring goals. He knows how important he is, today as a center forward he scores the goal and this win brings us closer to the objectives we are seeking.” were his words.

At the beginning of this tournament, Ramón Juárez was alternating positions with Igor Lichnovsky, and André himself had confessed that he preferred Igor due to his seniority, but as the matches went by, Ramón secured an undisputed starting spot and now even came on as a center forward to resolve a match.
