América still searching for their ‘ideal’ centre-forward

Imagem do artigo:América still searching for their ‘ideal’ centre-forward

Club América has four players who can play as center forwards: Víctor Dávila, Rodrigo Aguirre, Henry Martín and José Zúñiga, the most recent addition in that position.

But despite having a variety in offense, André Jardine has not been able to find the ideal center forward for the team, as none of the four have proven to be at the level to be a regular.

Between the four forwards, they have scored a total of four goals so far this season (counting Apertura 2025, Leagues Cup and Champion of Champions), which are very poor numbers compared to what is expected of them.

  1. Henry Martín – 225 minutes played – 0 goals.
  2. José Zúñiga – 550 minutes played – 2 goals
  3. Rodrigo Aguirre – 564 minutes played – 1 goal
  4. Víctor Dávila – 229 minutes played – 1 goal

In fact, the team's top scorer at the moment is Brian Rodríguez with four goals, followed by Erick Sánchez with three, even though neither of them play inside the box.

Who will be the starting center forward?

Most likely, André Jardine will continue to rotate everyone, although he has shown more confidence in both Rodrigo Aguirre and José Zúñiga, often leaving Víctor Dávila as the last option.

It will also be interesting to see what he will do when Henry Martín is fully recovered and can start playing matches on a regular basis, as he could be the one chosen to take the position as an undisputed starter.
