The lion of Mexico is going through transition and expectation days. With new coach on the bench and James Rodríguez As the protagonist of his football plan, the Esmeralda team will receive this Saturday at Toluca, current Mexican football champion and opening leaderin one of the most attractive duels of day 12.

Toluca arrives inspired. Just on Wednesday he lifted the CUP champions After beating 3-2 to LA Galaxyand in the league he accumulates five consecutive victories since the end of August. Those directed by Antonio Mohamed They exhibit the best attack of the tournament, with 31 goals in favorand they have strong cards to Portuguese Paulinho, second maximum gunner of the contestand Mexican Alexis Vega. To hold the leadership, the 'Red Devils' cannot relax, because Monterrey – with Sergio Ramos in Defense – steps on their heels with the same points.

The panorama in León is different. The reverse 2-0 against Juarez last week precipitated the departure of the Argentine Eduardo Berizzo, and opened the way for the return of Ignacio Ambrizchampion with the club in Opening 2020. His immediate mission is to get the team out of the 11th place, return confidence and keep him in the fight for the classification. And in that process, the name of James Rodríguez charges special relevance.

The Colombian, who until now only adds five titles and two goals in the tournament, has received a public support from his new coach. Ambriz revealed that he held a personal dialogue with James to make it clear that he will be one of the pillars of the project: “I am more concerned with the human being than the footballer. I want him to be comfortable, enjoy, because if James is happy, it can be decisive”he said in talk with Fox Sports Mexico.

In addition, the DT denied any rumor about a distancing with the cucuteño and assured that he plans to use it in the same position he occupies with the Colombia selectionbehind the strikers, to enhance their vision and last pass. In the first training, the coach highlighted the connection of the midfielder with Rogelio Funes Mori, something that plans to explode in the official matches.

The challenge for León is capital: face the strongest team of the championship in full positive streak. But the change on the bench and explicit support for James Rodríguez can give a renewed air to the squad. Ambriz knows that he needs immediate results, and to achieve this, he is confident that Colombian talent and experience are the key to stop a ignition and return the illusion to the Emerald fans.
