[Scene Analysis]
Pachuca has won the Central and North America Champions League championship 6 times. The most recent one was in the 2024 season, which is also the reason why the team qualified for the Club World Cup. Pachuca performed poorly in the 2025 season. The team ranked only 7th in the Mexican League and finally advanced to the play-offs through the perimeter. However, it was immediately eliminated by Mexico America. Real Madrid is the best in this group, and the team is likely to compete with Riyadh Crescent and Salzburg Red Bull for the second qualification.
Pachuca also has its own advantages over Riyadh Crescent and Salzburg Red Bull. First of all, the team will be more adaptable in the weather. In addition, Pachuca’s rich competition experience in Central and North America and his good defensive counterattack style may become the key to their breakthrough in the group.
【Core Player】
Longdong, who once played for Dalian, is a Pachuca player that Chinese fans are more familiar with. In the 2025 season, Longdong played 39 games for Pachuca, scored 17 goals and contributed 5 assists, and was the absolute main force of the team’s forward line. Longdong has excellent sense of smell and point-grabbing ability, and can conquer the team at critical moments. Brazilian forward John Kennedy, who joined on loan from Fruminense at the beginning of this year, was another sharp knife for Pachuca’s offense. He played 21 times after arriving at the team, scored 9 goals and contributed 2 assists.
The players who play the main players in the midfield are mainly domestic players and are relatively young. Elias Montell, who is less than 20 years old, is a rising star in Mexican football. He is already in Mexico.The family team has a place. Although they are not tall, their style is extremely tough. Pedro Pedrasa is also an active Mexico international, but his chances of playing are limited. 22-year-old Alan Bowtista gradually settled in Pachuca’s main midfield position.
