The Tuzos have the Concacaf second leg semi-final on the horizon and will have to play the Play-In with little rest
The Pachuca Tuzos They will play the first game of the Play-In of the Closing 2024against Cougarson Thursday at 9:15 p.m., despite the fact that the Hidalgo team asked the teams competing in this phase to play on Friday and Monday, because Guillermo Almada’s team has international commitments.
Pachuca requested that the first game of the Play-In of the Liga MX It will be played on Friday and the second on Monday, if they qualify, to balance the loads of their players, but the teams involved in that stage of the competition refused to give concessions to the Hidalgo team. Even her own Liga MX intervened in the case presented by those from Bella Airosa, but the response of the rest of the clubs was not in the same direction.
The Tuzos needed the support because they are in the semifinal stage of the Concacaf Champions Cup and play the second leg against América on Tuesday, they will have less than 72 hours to recover and play the first game of the Play-Inin which they will face Cougars.
The teams involved, in addition to the Pachucaare the Cougars, Necaxa and the White Roosters of Querétarowho will play the first games on Thursday, while the last ticket will be delivered next Sunday.
Pachuca It is the only one of the four teams that competes in two competitions at the same time. From the beginning, Guillermo Almada commented that the goal of the Tuzos is to transcend internationally, which is why the biggest bet is on the Concacaf Champions Cup, which gives a ticket to the Club World Cup if they win it.
Los Tuzos had the opportunity to qualify directly, if they beat Mazatlán FC on the last day, but the Pachuca They chose to use an alternate team and barely tied with the Sinaloa team. That forced it to be the only one of the three clubs that are in the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup to play the Play-In of the Liga MX.
The Tuzos could play up to three games in the next six days.
