Hermosillo responds to Sánchez’s hint about Cruz Azul
The name of Vicente Sánchez was once again a trend on the internet, but this time not because of a goal or a masterful play. It was due to a publication on Instagram that Mexican soccer fans soon interpreted as a poisoned dart directed towards their former team, Cruz Azul.
The historic former Toluca player, who until recently led the celestial team, published a cryptic message after the Machine’s (2-1) defeat against León. A result that only added fuel to the fire under Nicolás Larcamón’s bench.
“Selling smoke is not bad, the problem lies with whoever buys the smoke,” wrote the former technician.
The phrase, apparently generic, was immediately connected by the fans with the current situation of the club and its Argentine strategist. In the world of football, where every word is analyzed to the millimeter, a hint like this does not go unnoticed.
The replica of a celestial reference
The reaction was immediate. And it came from an authoritative and heavy voice within the cement institution: Carlos Hermosillo. The historic scorer and now commentator for Fox Sports did not bite his tongue when referring to Sánchez’s statements during his participation in the media.
Hermosillo expressed his clear annoyance with the attitudes of the former coach, whom he accused of trying to position himself as the affected party in this whole matter.
“He has played the victim, let’s stop talking about Vicente Sánchez. When he leads a team he will have to show what he did at Cruz Azul. We talk about him every week,” the ‘Big One’ forcefully mentioned.
His words are a direct call to leave the Sánchez chapter behind and focus on the team’s present. A request that seems difficult to fulfill as long as social networks continue to be a battlefield for this type of exchange.
Meanwhile, Cruz Azul must focus on what is important: the field. The team returns to activity this Wednesday with a complicated visitor to the Cuauhtémoc stadium to face Puebla. This stage will become your temporary home throughout Clausura 2026, due to the works at the Azteca.
Their rival will be Atlas, a team that arrives with high morale after achieving a victory on the first date. A key match for Larcamón and his team, who need points and performance to calm the turbulent waters on and off the field.
This crossover between past and present figures is just another chapter in the intense life of the celestial club, where the focus is not only on the 90 minutes of play, but also on what happens on the phone screens. The pressure is constant, and each public word becomes a mandatory analysis.
