“The Leagues Cup will involve facing new players with different levels of understanding and confidence,” he said. He is nevertheless upbeat about the team’s future, especially because they are now the Mexican football champions.

With confidence, América will take on Atlas in their opening Round of 32 match. Given the team’s stellar performance history and Jardine’s optimism, América seems ready to compete well in this year’s Leagues Cup.
