the technician Miguel ‘Piojo’ Herrera described as “unserious” the information Cartel of the Goal, where its name leaves involved in a supposed scheme of fraud in Mexican soccer.
The report, written by Amir Ibrahim, Tries to highlight the networks of promoters that govern Aztec sport and the transfer of players.
“Honestly, I’ve never had a promoter. I’ve never dealt with promoters,” Herrera told ESPN in the Now or Never program.
“I have always expressed it. I once greeted (Greg) Taylor because he represented Raúl Jiménez,” he said. “We once saw Carlos Hurtado in a restaurant. I’ve never seen them again,” he added.
According to information from Ibrahim, Taylor and Manuel Velarde “sell” players at overpriced MX League teams.
“I don’t see Hurtado like he did 20 years ago. Taylor, from that date,” Herrera said. “I’m a football person. I’ve never been handled. This is an unserious note of a guy whose information has been made bigger by the names he put in, than by the research itself,” he stressed.

The author of the controversial report stated that, if the sections he recounts are eradicated, Mexico can lift a World Cup.
The Goal Cartel investigation, which began in 2019, aims to uncover how approximately three networks of promoters control most of the competition market. This allegedly causes young promises to get lost along the way.
“No one represents my interests. I didn’t do it when I started as a player, and now that I have a much more established resume, there’s no need,” he ruled.
Herrera discussed this and multiple topics in Now and Never, which can be found on the digital platform of ESPN Sports.
