The former Toluca striker said he admires the Tigers striker, but believes that only time will put him in the place he deserves in history.
Former Toluca striker Jose Saturnino Cardozo noted that he still “lacks” André Pierre Gignac, Tigers striker, to stay in the Olympus of the best breakers who have arrived in Mexico, Although he admires it, and only time will put it in the place it deserves.
“Gignac is having a good time and he needs a little more. To be with (Carlos) Hermosillo, Missing. He is a player I admire a lot, but time will tell. He looks in the face that he does not like to lose and he is a leader “, said the Paraguayan in the presentation of his book ‘Cardozo, The Prince of the Goal’.
“We must applaud and thank him for being in Mexican football. Then time will tell. It was a wonderful 10 years in Mexico that I had,” the South American added in the presence of ex-soccer players and journalists from Mexico and Paraguay.
Cardozo, who is the fourth highest scorer in the history of the MX League with 249 goals and the second best foreignerOnly behind Evanivaldo Castro ‘Cabinho’, who made 312 goals and is the best batsman in the entire history of the league, accepted that he never had in mind to set records or that the current footballer seeks to break what he did.
“I didn’t remember how many goals I had in Toluca. I enjoyed the goals. Nothing that I scored two goals and now I relax. I love this profession, I love to train and correct mistakes. I tried very difficult plays that my teammates said “They wouldn’t be a goal and I kept repeating and repeating. I have to train and I know I didn’t score the goals so that they would break the record and everyone will make their career,” he stressed.
He even expressed that currently you have more facilities to perform as a professional, As the clubs greatly improved in infrastructure.
“The player has more facilities today. Before it was more difficult. The infrastructure of the clubs makes your job easier. Before for a center you had to be focused and now the grass is a carpet. I dare to give him advice because this It’s easy. It’s not just about football that comes from talent. “
For its part, Francisco Suinaga, president of the Toluca club, recalled that not long ago they signed a striker to whom they wanted to give him the ‘9’ shirt, but that he did not accept because he knew those involved in having the number Cardozo used.
“When a player came in your position, I don’t say the name, when we saw the numbers, he said the‘ 9 ’was not because he weighed a lot and wasn’t going to perform,” the manager said with a laugh.
