Veiga stands out and shows potential for growth at the club

Raphael Veiga was one of the most outstanding players in the match, symbolizing the new era at América-MEX. After the match, coach André Jardine spared no praise for the player, highlighting his technical qualities and potential for growth.

“Veiga is a number 10 like those who are hard to find. I believe he’s capable of making us remember this team’s best moments: with a creative midfielder, who scores goals, who will provide assists, and I feel he still has a lot of room to grow as he adapts to the team,” said Jardine, now in his third season at the club.

Trust between coach and player is evident

The strong connection between Jardine and Veiga was clear in the goal celebration. The number 23 ran to the technical area to hug the coach, a gesture that symbolized their partnership and mutual support at the start of Veiga’s journey at Club América.

“Jardine was very important to me because he helped me get here. It’s only fair to hug him and thank him for the opportunity to be at such a big club like América,” revealed the former Palmeiras idol, who started for the first time.

New signings drive América-MEX’s collective improvement

The rout over Puebla also featured a decisive contribution from another new signing, midfielder Lima, formerly of Fluminense, who provided an assist for the third goal. The result highlights América-MEX’s collective improvement under André Jardine’s leadership. With the integration of new players, the team is showing signs of strengthening in this new phase, as it undergoes a rebuilding process following a period of great success.
