Giovani dos Santos’ period with America raises questions about his performance and two former teammates explain the reasons why he is not consolidated.
Faced with the controversy created around the level of play of Giovani dos Santos, former teammates of the American player in the National Team and together U-17 world champions, express their point of view in this regard. Ever Guzmán states that Giovani himself must ask “why he has not been able to consolidate in America”, while César Villaluz considers that he may not have been lucky enough to find a coach who trusts him and gets his best performance. .
In interview by ESPN Digital, Ever Guzmán stated that he admires Giovani a lot and that in general he will always speak like his fan, although he does not escape reality and points out that “one would like to see every weekend that he gives us his explosive football so nice for the sight, as he plays pretty well “and added that” these are things he should question: why so many injuries, why this, why another ?, but that’s his thing “It will be his conscience. One does not know what he has lived. One is not with him every day. What I want is to see him on TV and that he goes very well and gives us these jewels of goals that he puts “.
Ever Guzmán, who will continue to play for Hartford Athletic (the USL Championship in the United States) next season, stated that “I will never think badly of the 2005 generation as I love them all. A couple of years ago I saw Gío ja Vela in Sant Antoni; we talked for quite some time super well, Super friendly. It feels great to remember the times we spent in chavitos, and here’s the affection. “
He points out that he admires Giovani and has always followed his career “and for me what he has done has been amazing. He played world cups with Mexico, he scored goals. I see him more as a fan and I will always talk good things about him. Always I am on the verge of his triumphs, of his successes.I would like to see him score many goals in America and become an idol, as he has been in the National Team.For me he has had an enviable career for anyone Mexican “and adds that unfortunately injuries” have slowed his process to become an idol in America, because that has quality, they have it, no doubt. “
Villaluz SAYS HE HAS NOT FOUND THE DT TO GIVE HIM TRUST
By César Villaluz, another member of the golden generation of 2005, since he met Gio, here since the age of 15 and the years they lived together in national teams U-17, U-20, U-23 and in the biggest, has always been the same quality player who makes a difference; but he acknowledges that in recent years he has been inconsistent in his performances and attributes it to the lack of continuity as “he may not have found the coach who has confidence in him and can make him stand out and be a major player in your team “.
“As a person he has not changed. Everyone talks about how it’s touched him right now. It was up to me to live with him and to be treated the same always; also my treatment towards him is the same. It never changed, “said Cesar Villaluz, who plays for the Cancun team in the Expansion League.
“Lately, he has lacked continuity so he can keep up the pace and have confidence and he can stand out. He has the qualities, these are not lost overnight, but he has lacked more minutes for him to keep picking up more match pace.”
César Villaluz considers that it is normal for Giovani to be required to be on a big team like America, where the competition is day to day and the requirement is good performances, championships; he has demand for his ability, because everyone expects a lot from him and he has to excel. ”He laments that when he seems to be at his best“ Gío battles with injuries ”and does not hesitate to assure that his best performances have had in National Selection.
Finally, said that Giovani the least he has to do is stop preparing and that it was seen that he did not take well that said the technician Miguel Herrera, that’s why he replied, “but you have to focus on him and his team, to keep preparing for better games.”
