The words of Cruz Azul's long-awaited striker Julio Furch, who distances himself from La Máquina

It is well known that striker Julio Furch has been wanted by Cruz Azul since his time at Santos Laguna, however, they have never finalized his arrival. The striker has already been champion twice in Liga MX. Once with the Guerreros and another time with Atlas.

The Argentinean arrived in Mexico with Veracruz, a team that no longer exists due to financial problems, but from there, his level has risen and has allowed him to be one of the most desired strikers in Liga MX.

Cruz Azul, who are already eliminated from the Clausura 2022, had many problems in front of goal, as their strikers did not respond as expected. Brayan Angulo, Iván Morales, and Santiago Giménez were not scoring the goals needed to take La Máquina to the next level.

For that reason, one of the priorities for Cruz Azul is to obtain a high-quality striker to solve this problem, however, Julio Furch, who was one of those on their list, seems to be far away from the Cementeros.

What did Furch say that keeps him away from Cruz Azul?

The Argentinean pointed out that they are trying to get used to fighting for championships, but acknowledged that Tigres will be a complicated opponent, and beating one of the best teams in the league will be an important boost for their morale.

"We are aware of our opponents, who are always fighting for championships. We want to get used to that, fighting for championships. We had a difficult series and the semifinal will be equally or even harder. To be a champion, you have to beat the best and fight with anyone. Beating Tigres will be very good for our morale to reach the final. Winning the championship twice would be a dream for all of us, first, we were thinking about one championship and now we are going for others. That means everything this club has done," he added.

With these words, the player suggests that he will stay longer with the Zorros and that his goal is to make Atlas a team that fights for championships every year.
