Chicharito Hernández
Chicharito Hernández is living his last days as a Madridista at the Centro de Alto Rendimiento de México, preparing for the Copa Oro 2015 that will be held in the United States and Canada between July 7 and 26. The striker is loaned to the white team until July 1, but he already knows that next year he will have to return to Manchester United to earn a place or find a solution that satisfies all parties.
Still, Chicharito has good memories of Madrid. "The season at Real Madrid was a great learning experience. It helped me find myself again as a footballer," said the forward to Univisión.
The reward for all the effort made during the year was reflected in the quarterfinals of the Champions League with his decisive goal at the end of the match against Atlético. "I felt a huge relief with the goal against Atlético because it was a difficult year with few opportunities. It was a release," he confessed.
There were many weeks of work and few opportunities for a player who ended up starting eight league matches, three Champions League matches, and two Copa del Rey matches. A total of 1,500 minutes. "I had to warm the bench a lot. It was a huge frustration because I didn't feel important."
The Mexican international did not spare in praise for Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he sees as an example for everyone. "Cristiano is a great player. There are no words. He gives us a clear example that hard work pays off."
Lastly, he showed respect for Piqué's gratitude to singer Kevin Roldan at the celebration of the Champions League. "Everyone has their own opinion, whether it's true or not," he commented on whether Cristiano's birthday party was the key moment in Madrid's decline.
