Mexican football woke up with the sensitive loss of Roberto Reynoso, former Cruz Azul player. The former Mexican defender passed away this Wednesday, July 16, at the age of 85. "La Máquina" mourned the loss of one of its legends. "Cruz Azul Football Club owes its greatness to heroes like Roberto Reynoso, who did everything possible to take their team to the top," the club wrote from its main account. The president of Cruz Azul also offered some words of condolence. Roberto Reynoso is remembered as a great legend of the club and Victor Velazquez did not hesitate to emphasize it.

"Today we say goodbye to a legend of our Cruz Azul Football Club, who defended our colors as a right back in that legendary championship that gave us promotion to the top circuit. Rest in peace, Roberto Reynoso," said the director.

One of Reynoso's milestones

Roberto Reynoso will be remembered for being part of the Cruz Azul squad that achieved promotion to the first division of Mexican soccer in 1964. An unforgettable 7-1 victory over Zamora in which full-back Reynoso participated.

Reynoso shared the club's principles. He was part of a working-class team that combined their talent for soccer with their work at the Cruz Azul cement factory in Jasso, Hidalgo. Roberto Reynoso was one of the players who laid the foundation for what is now "La Máquina."
