Por supuesto, la crítica al equipo no se ha hecho esperar y va desde los cuestionamientos tácticos al técnico Javier Aguirre hasta las acusaciones de que los jugadores del club están apapachados.
El Club América parece estar en un pozo sin fondo. Las Águilas cayeron la noche del sábado de manera estrepitosa ante el Atlético de San Luis y sumaron su octavo partido sin conocer la victoria. Lo peor de todo es que sus jugadores se pasean por los campos de la Liga MX cabizbajos y sin encontrar respuestas al momento en que viven, mientras que los aficionados apuntan dedos exigiendo la renuncia de Santiago Solari, su entrenador, así como la del director deportivo Santiago Baños.
