Chivas U23 and U19 continue with their preparation for the Liguilla of the Apertura 2024, which will begin next week at the end of the FIFA Date. In the current semester, which has been a learning experience for all members of La Cantera Rojiblanca, there are several players who have accelerated their training process by participating in a category that is older than their age.
What is the average age of the Red and White Subs?
- During the regular season, the U-23s had an average age of 19.33 years. The game in which they fielded their youngest 11 was against América on matchday 7, with 19.09 years, a game that ended in a 2-2 draw.
- The average age of the Under-19 team in the Regular Phase was 17.68 years. El Rebaño youth team presented its youngest 11 against Toluca, with 17.18 years of age, a match that the team won 2-1.
In order to measure what La Cantera Rojiblanca has done throughout the tournament, it is necessary to consider the number of players who are accelerating their training process, since in 13 of the 17 matches in the Regular Phase, Guadalajara's Under-19 and Under-23 teams fielded a starting 11 that was younger than their opponents.
In the Under 23 category, there were 9 players who, due to their age, could participate in a lower category. Sebastián Liceaga from 2007, David Nungaray from 2005, Diego Ochoa from 2005, Javen Romero from 2006, Adrián Pelayo from 2006, Isaac Martínez from 2006, Osvaldo Plascencia from 2005, Joshua Anaya from 2006 and Juan Pablo Uribe from 2006.
In the U19, 7 players could compete in a younger category due to their young age: Cristo Navarrete from 2007, Diego Covarrubias from 2007, Jared de Leon from 2007, Baldemar Elenes from 2007, Deibith Armenta from 2008, Samir Inda from 2007 and Victor Garcia from 2007.
Which players made their debut in Liga MX U23 and U19?
- With Chivas U23, 6 players made their debut: David Nungaray, Samir Inda, Isaac Martínez, Javen Romero, Adrián Pelayo, Leonardo Torres.
- El Rebaño U19 team had 9 debutants: Cristo Navarrete, Diego Covarrubias, Esteban Mendoza, Ian Torres, Emiliano Rodríguez, Santiago Sandoval, Leonardo Ramírez, Carlos Hernández and Johan Orozco.
The Subs, Tapatio's support
Several players from the Subs Rojiblancas helped enrich the Tapatío squad, which is currently in the Semifinals of the Expansion League. U-23 players such as Diego Ochoa, Juan Pablo Uribe, Daniel Cervantes and Francisco Méndez, were part of the maximum representative of the Cantera Rojiblanca in at least one game of the season.
