With several former Liga MX players, a touch of humor from the Golden Scorpion, the presence of Ricardo Antonio La Volpe, and some doubts with the rules, tonight the Kings League Americas Draft was held at the Juan de la Barrera Gymnasium From Mexico City.
In this Draft, 120 of the 168 field players and 36 goalkeepers who were ready to be part of this historic moment were chosen.
Chicharito, the great absentee
Except for James Rodríguez and Javier Hernández, the rest of the presidents of the 12 teams attended the event to choose the squad that will defend the colors of their club. In the case of the Mexican, he was present through a connection from his home in the United States.
While at the event the presence of La Volpe, the technical director of Muchachos FC, the team chaired by Jero Freixas, a team that also has coach Rafael Puente, stood out.
The presidents of Raniza, Real Titán, West Santos, Galacticos del Caribe, Los Chamos, Los Aliens, Club de Cuervos and of course Peluche Caligari with the Montiel brothers arrived at the meeting.
Representing Olimpo United, from Chicharito, was former player Oribe Peralta and representative Lorenzo Román, who followed the strategy previously outlined together with the scoring forward.
The draft with the professionals
Of the players who were professionals, Club de Cuervos signed forward Martín Bravo, while Los Aliens kept César Villaluz and Muchachos FC kept midfielder Erik Vera. While Peluche Caligari signed Ismael Valadez.
In the most curious moments of the night was when Muchachos FC chose Jesús Paganoni as their first player, but the footballer was one of those absent from the draft. The situation was repeated with their second election, causing the Golden Scorpion to mock them. Jero Freixas, president of Muchachos FC, and coach Ricardo La Volpe finally had to choose their third option. Yosgart Gutiérrez, former Cruz Azul goalkeeper, will play with Raniza FC.
Confusion with the rules
Although there was Miguel Layún, president of the Kings League Americas, and Marc Crosas as secretary, in rounds 8, 9 and 10 there were some confusions in the rule to steal players. In the end it was resolved without a problem, but it took several minutes to resolve the issue.
To liven up the night, the guest singer was Mario Bautista who entertained the beginning and end of the draft. In his last participation he played Baby Girl.
