Chivas and Atlas share the basement with Pumas

Chivas and Atlas are without direction. They try but fall very low. Both teams trail in the general table accompanied by the Pumas, the three with just 8 points, causing pity in the tournament.
The defeat of Atlas 1-2 against Cruz Azul in Jalisco, meant an end to El Turco Asad in the technical direction of la Furia.
Eugenio Ruiz Orozco, president of the club, reported the leave. "We decided to thank Omar Asad, and on Monday or Tuesday we will give the announcement of who will stay on as a coach".
The names that are mentioned are Luis Fernando Tena or José Luis Mata, who served as assistant to Assad, for taking over the red and black.
Meanwhile Chivas could have sunk to the bottom of the general board if it wasn't for Pumas that lost again (0-1 Santos) and also ranked last with 8 points. The National Autonomous University of Mexico and Guadalajara, are of the so-called big teams, which in a not too distant past, stocked the Mexican Team of good players. These two squads and also the Atlas, boasts (or boasted) to be a source of new high quality players, the solid talent sources of national football. That is what they have (or had) in common, and now they lie in the basement waiting for a miracle.
In contrast with the America, the champion seems to have no one to give it battle. In the Apertura Tournament 2013 of the League MX, besides being leader of the general classification, it has already qualified for the playoffs with 31 points. This is because the team that ranks ninth with 16 points is Xolos of Tijuana, and there are only 12 remaining for dispute.
The Águilas have gone ahead to qualify, after conclusively winning in the Classic 2-0 against a Chivas that gave a battle, but that fell in just five minutes with goals from the Americanists Raúl Torres and Luis Gabriel Rey.
In the second place, six points behind America, is el León, followed closely by Toluca that reached 23, the same as Santos, Morelia and Cruz Azul, but with a better goal difference.
Other results of the day 13 were: Morelia 2-1 Chiapas, Xolos 1-0 Queretaro, Atlante 2-1 Monterrey, Pachuca 1-1 Veracruz, Tigres UANL 1-2 Toluca and Leon 3-1 Puebla.

football-schoolTHE FOOTBALL TRAINING CENTRE DAVINO-REBOLLEDO

The Director General of the Football Training Centre Davino-Rebolledo commented in a press conference that they are working in adequate playing fields to carry out national and international tournaments. The school already operates with 250 children between 4 and 14 years old, educating them to be well prepared in this sport.

The vision of the group of entrepreneurs that make up this institution is to work hand in hand with the parents in the formation of their children within this sport. Children need that momentum and need to be led by the right people. The professional player Sergio Rebolledo told us: "the idea of opening the school here in Puerto Vallarta was precisely because they felt it was ideal, with the firm intention and belief that children need that momentum and need to be led by the right people otherwise the years pass, and if they leave they don't recover their sport skills". He also mentioned his commitment to the parents to educate their children with discipline and values while driving the children out of vices that Vallarta offers a lot for being a Port.

In the end he gave a message to all the children who wish to practice this sport: "do not give up your dreams, things that are worthy in this life are not easy, it takes a lot of discipline, perseverance, and family support".

Los Rayados beat the leader Monarcas in their own home

football-mexican-league Hopes revived for Morelia that won its first and only goal on a great individual play by Aldo Leao.

The youth of Monterrey yesterday came off the bench to give the victory to Rayados 3-1, on a Morelia that had serious errors in a game that had a good second half in the start of the eleventh day of the opening tournament of 2013 of the Mexican League.

The victory goals were of Guillermo Madrigal, at the minute 49 and 56, and Alejandro Garcia, at the 77th. Aldo Leao Ramirez scored for Monarcas, at 66.
With this result, the Sultana del Norte, which added its second win in a row, reached 13 units, while those at home were left with 20 and can lose the first place in the table if América or León win their matches .

When they needed to confirm their status as a leader of the competition the most, the "Purépechas" were far from an optimal level in every way, especially in their lower lineup, which had mistakes that were reflected in the outcome and that definitively marked the course of this confrontation.

The obligation of being local and of carrying the weight of the match with the tag with which they started, resulted in that they took the lead, which, however, was far from good soccer, lacking in depth, largely motivated by the absence of the Ecuadorian Jefferson Montero. Nevertheless, Aldo Leao's talent was enough to generate the more dangerous first half, on a pass from fellow Colombian Santiago Trellez, who cut inside the area within Leobardo Lopez to take a shot that Jonathan Orozco, with excellent reflexes reached to prevent the fall of his frame.

Rayados had been practically unchanged in the front, however, Jose Guadalupe Cruz made an amendment, which changed the whole perspective of the game, as they managed to end their zero on the board and went ahead with a two-goal advantage.
