América must choose between Henry Martín and Miguel Borja

Ahead of the Liguilla, América faces a difficult decision on who will lead the attack between captain Henry Martín and the prolific Miguel Borja.

The coaching staff at América is facing a tactical dilemma as the Liguilla approaches: whether to start Henry Martín or Miguel Borja as the main striker. While both forwards have been in excellent form, the current tactical setup generally allows for only one center-forward in the starting eleven.

Henry Martín, the team captain, has been a reliable presence with ten goals and three assists. Meanwhile, Miguel Borja has made a significant impact by scoring six goals in his first eight appearances for the club, proving his immediate value to the squad.

Former América forward Enrique Esqueda analyzed the attributes of both players: "They are people who have a great nose for goal, who move very well in the box, are strong in the air, and have a very good shot." Regarding Martín, Esqueda highlighted his experience and tenure at the club, while noting that Borja has adapted quickly, with his confidence growing steadily since his arrival.

For the remainder of the regular season, it appears the coaching staff will continue to rotate the squad. The definitive choice for the starting striker position will likely be made only when the Liguilla begins.
