'Chicharito', the forgotten legend on the bench in his return to Chivas

Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez is going through a difficult time at Chivas, as in the last three Guadalajara games, the figure of the Sacred Flock has not been considered by coach Oscar Garcia. The all-time leading scorer of the Mexican National Team is “forgotten” on the bench in light of the good moment Alan Pulido is going through.

The Spanish coach has repeatedly mentioned the importance of “Chicharito” from the bench, despite the fact that he has not been considered in the last few league matches. In addition, he has also pointed out the reason why Alan Pulido took over the starting position, who has scored two goals in three matches .

“It’s very easy with Javier because he’s very professional. He understands every situation in the game, even in the last few minutes. He could give us advice, he could show us other things. That shows you the level of involvement he has.”

“As for Pulido, we all know that he is a player who needs few opportunities to score a goal. But we know that he is a very important player when it comes to creating chances. He is a player who had a chance today and scored a goal. And that makes the difference,” he said in the post-match press conference against Pachuca.

Since his return to Guadalajara, this is the first time that Hernández Balcázar has been on the bench for three consecutive games in Liga MX . Since his arrival with Fernando Gago, he has been active every time he came on the bench.

Under Oscar Garcia, “CH14” has missed the matches against Tijuana, Toluca and Pachuca, making it two consecutive games without entering the field at the AKRON Stadium . “Chicharito” is close to reaching a month without activity in the Liga MX, because his last game was on matchday five against Querétaro, on February 2.
