“They’ve been telling us they’re going to catch us for 40 years”: With their characteristic authority, Los Jefes Deportes dotted the i’s and crosses the t’s after Tigres’ thrashing of Cincinnati and “Vasco” Aguirre’s new roster. In the Liga MX vs. MLS duel, Los Jefes say who is the ‘winner’.
The hottest table in sports journalism is back on fire. In the most recent episode of Los Jefes Deportes, a production of Nueva Network and QuéOnnda, the debate over soccer supremacy in North America made it clear that, although the MLS infrastructure is growing, the field continues to speak Spanish.
With the Tigres’ resounding 5-1 victory over Cincinnati, spirits were high. Álvaro “El Brujo” Morales held nothing back: “Liga MX, beyond its infrastructure, is still Major League Soccer’s daddy in sports. In the last 20 years, there have been 18 Mexican champions in CONCACAF. The numbers don’t lie.
The debate: Reality or stagnation?
While Dionisio Estrada agreed on the current superiority, he issued a warning about management in Mexico, noting that the lack of promotion and relegation is a “mediocrity” that could eventually take its toll.
For his part, Juan Carlos Gabriel described it as an “innocent joke” for U.S. teams to try to compete against Mexican soccer in extreme conditions, such as the altitude of Toluca, without changing their style of play.
Chivas and the phenomenon of “La Hormiga”
One of the most controversial points was the analysis of the basic forces.
The panel questioned how players like Armando “La Hormiga” Gonzalez or U.S.-trained talent (like Richard Ledesma) are rescuing Guadalajara.
“Now U.S. Soccer trains players for Chivas and the national team?” fired Morales, questioning the recruiting system at El Rebaño.

The episode also broke down Javier Aguirre’s call-up list for March’s FIFA date, highlighting names such as:
Goalkeepers: Guillermo Ochoa, Luis Malagón and Carlos Acevedo.
News: The call-up of “La Hormiga” González and the absence of Diego Lainez, which, according to the table, confirms a personal “inconvenience” with the national strategist.
Authority at the microphone
The success of Los Jefes Deportes lies in the trajectory of its members, who combine experience on the field and journalistic fangs:
Álvaro Morales: The “owner” of the rating, known for his incendiary and direct style.
Ricardo “Tuca” Ferretti: A coaching legend with the authority of someone who has won it all.
Carlos Hermosillo: Mexico’s top goal scorer and voice of the hierarchy.
Dionisio Estrada and Juan Carlos Gabriel: Analysts with a heavy character who do not buy “cheap stories”.
Fernando Ceballos: The “Chiva Mayor”, tireless defender of the red and white cause.
The episode is now available on all audio platforms, such as Apple Podcast and Spotify, where you can also listen to other titles promoted by QuéOnnda and Nueva Network, such as Nueva Jugada.
