As the first Portuguese to don a Manchester United jersey in the history of the club, Cristiano Ronaldo made a great impression as he helped the Red Devils win the UEFA Champions League, the English Premier League thrice on the trot and other major titles during his six-year spell at Old Trafford. Now it’s Javier Hernandez’s turn to create a good image for Mexicans, as players from this country usually fail to shine in the England. Mexico's Giovani Dos Santos, an ex-Barcelona player, was expected to dazzle in London with Tottenham Hotspurs but in a way or another, his seasons with Spurs haven’t been the best.
It actually looks like Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez is the chosen one to prove English football followers what Mexican talent, in terms of soccer, is all about. Brought in as a substitute in the 2010 Community Shield match against Chelsea, Javier Hernandez found space to score on his debut for Manchester United. LiveSoccerTV.com reminds you of his goal through highlights in the video below:
LiveSoccerTV.com also shares with you highlights of Javier Hernandez’s first half goal for Chivas in a farewell club friendly match against new employers Manchester United. (Note that Chicharito played for the Red Devils in the second period of the encounter. Manchester United went on to win the match 3-2).
Speaking about his career at Old Trafford which already looks bright, the young Mexican told the media:
“It’s like a dream. I’m living the dream that I had when I was 10 years old, when I loved this team, and players like Giggs and Scholes.
“All the players at United were heroes to me – from Cantona to Ronaldo. I liked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a lot as well. They are all good players. I wanted to be like them.”
Certainly, Javier Hernandez is perfectly walking on the path that will lift up his status and let him become a great player in years to come. Chicharito has a lot of potential, and Chivas president Jorge Vergara now regrets selling the player to Manchester United that early.
As he rued his club’s 2-1 defeat in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores final (which Internacional eventually won), Jorge Vergara declared:
“I’m sure that he [Javier Hernandez] would have made an important impact against Internacional. Maybe, our mistake is the fact that we haven’t kept Javier at Chivas until the final.”
Javier Hernandez scored 26 goals for former club Guadalajara (Chivas) in 64 appearances and he can already count 10 goals in 17 matches for Mexico's national football team. His current club football team triumphed 3-0 over Newcastle on match-day one of the English Premier League. Next, the Red Devils will play against last season’s UEFA Europa League runners-up Fulham.
