Was letting ‘Chicote’ Calderón go a mistake? | OneFootball

For this summer transfer window, Club América decided to bring back Ralph Orquín, a player they loaned out for a year to Juárez FC, where he actually did quite well.

His performances at Juárez led André Jardine to request his return, even though the border team was willing to buy his contract.

But his return has not gone as expected; he has only accumulated 264 minutes throughout the season, and in those minutes he has raised more doubts than certainties. In fact, he was involved in two of the three goals América conceded against DC United last Saturday.

Was it a mistake to let ‘Chicote’ go?

With Ralph's return, the decision was made to let Cristian Calderón go, even though the player himself had expressed his desire to stay with the team.

During his time at América, ‘Chicote’ competed for the position with Cristian Borja, sharing minutes on the field, as André rotated them quite a bit, unlike what is happening now with Borja being an undisputed starter.

Given this situation, it seems that the coaching staff has not been fully convinced by Ralph Orquín's return and are now analyzing whether it was a good decision to bring him back and let ‘Chicote’ go, who, while not an undisputed starter, did contribute when called upon.
