Tigres are putting together a fierce attack for the Clausura 2023.
The signing of Nico Ibáñez by Tigres has shaken Mexican football for everything he represents and everything he could add to the team.
The recent champion will be joining one of the most powerful clubs in the league, something that was demonstrated in the drubbing of Pachuca. If the ‘Felinos’ already had an imposing striker and assist man in André-Pierre Gignac, the arrival of last season’s top scorer could mean one of the most potent duos in Clausura 2023.
If we add the goals scored in the two phases of the tournament, the regular and the Liguilla, between the Frenchman and the Argentinian, they accumulated 27 goals. It is also worth remembering that the goalscoring champion of the previous season, Clausura 2022, was Gignac with 11 goals, beating Ibáñez himself by two.
All of the above might not happen if the Gignac and Ibáñez do not manage to work well together, as it is well known that sometimes, the fight of egos within a dressing room full of great players can affect the performance of the whole team. That is why Diego Cocca will have the challenge of getting these two players to combine in the best possible way for Tigres to challenge for the title.
