Guadalajara Chivas dominates but struggles to finish: the problem is lack of efficiency
The red-and-white team has found a way to compete, create chances and control key moments of the matches, but their main problem remains their lack of effectiveness in front of goal. In their last two games, Gabriel Milito's side left different impressions in terms of results, but with one constant: they create opportunities, although they struggle to convert them into goals. Currently, the team is in 18th place in Liga MX with 0 points, 0 goals scored and 2 conceded, after a defeat in their first match of the season.
What happened in the last matches?
The defeat against Toluca and the narrow win against Juárez showed a similar reality. The team led by Gabriel Milito has an offensive presence, frequently approaches the opponent's area and finds spaces to cause damage, but fails in the most important moment of the game: the final touch. The Argentine coach himself has pointed out that the lack of effectiveness is one of the main aspects that have limited the team from achieving better results.
Why does it matter for Guadalajara Chivas?
The main problem does not seem to be in the footballing idea or the construction of plays, but in the execution. Chivas has failed in decisive details such as the choice of the final pass, calmness in front of the goalkeeper and precision at the moment of finishing. In close matches, these small errors end up making the difference between gaining three points or being left with a feeling of frustration.
What's next for the Sacred Herd?
Guadalajara Chivas' next match will be against Puebla on August 1st, a game that will test their ability to improve in finishing. The team needs to turn that dominance into more convincing results. For Gabriel Milito, the challenge does not seem to be changing the team's identity, but perfecting the final part of the process: improving decision-making, increasing precision and regaining confidence in front of goal.
