The striped of Monterrey beat America at home and were crowned as champions of the 2019 Opening at the legendary Azteca Stadium. They reached their fifth league title (Mexico 1986, Clausura 2003, Apertura 2009 and Apertura 2010) by way of penalties (4-2), and the New Year was bitter to the Eagles, the most winning team of Mexican soccer.

For 75 minutes the game outlined a different outcome. The first half of the game was a catastrophe in terms of performance and nerve control for the whole of Monterrey. They had arrived in the capital with the score in their favor, but in a few minutes they granted the advantage to an America that was tirelessly backed all night by their fans. Azulcrema superiority was clear and unquestionable during the first 45 minutes.

Fans, players and coaching staff already savored the fourteenth title of the Eagles, but a series of successful adjustments at halftime, orchestrated by the "Turkish" Mohamed, shaped a renewed Rayados that by the 75th minute had already changed the course of the forecasts and the bets.

Although Monterrey did not know the rest in the last month - they had to fly to the coasts of the Persian Gulf to compete in the club world championship and face the current European champion - they managed to endure until the series of penalties and define the tournament with coldness from the eleven steps.

Among the figures that yesterday stepped on the Azteca grass, many of them young promises, one stood out for his hierarchical experience in Mexican football, although his performance was not as expected: Miguel Layún, headline with Mexico in the World Cup in Russia and former player from Porto of Portugal.

The Mexican, formerly of America, suffered from his band the attacks of Roger Martínez and the routes of Henry Martin, where Monterrey went 2-0 down at halftime. Subsequently, César Montes changed, and from there the game took a more favorable course for the Northerners.

Twelve days before, Layún was subject to criticism and a target of memes for his performance in the semifinal of the 2019 Club World Cup in Qatar. The Rayados were playing a notable role against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. In 90 minutes there was no goal, and when the extension seemed to be inevitable, Roberto Firmino appeared to give the reds the victory in compensation.

The repetition of the play revealed the bad mark of Miguel Layún. The former American player was late for coverage and left only the Brazilian attacker.

Yesterday, after celebrating the title with Rayados, Layún was asked about his current situation in the Mexican national team, and this was what he said: “The subject of the selection has me without care, there has been much talk, many rumors, without foundation , it has hurt me, because people close and within the selection have talked about me, behind my back, without even knowing. Without asking me, everything was real. ”

The side of the tri in Russia 2018 did not want to give names or clarify if he was referring to players or managers, he just said that there are people who “misinformed” things.

Layún was accused of incurring indisciplines during a concentration of the Mexican National Team, after it was aired that he had participated in a party with other players in New York, and in which there were allegedly escorts. From that occasion, he stopped being in the calls of Gerardo Martino.

“Nearby people turned their backs on me, if those who stabbed me in the back listen to this, they will know who they are; I do not care. I work for Monterrey, I have given the National Team everything. There are times when it gets stained by extra things, the sad thing is that things were misunderstood. There are people who can stab me every time I can, ”he said.
