“When Mexico was expecting a Messi or CR7, we only had Gio Dos Santos”

“When you have free time and especially the desire to talk, things like what you are going through happen Miguel “el Piojo” Herrera who re-created a new controversy. This time it was with a criticism of Giovani Dos Santos for injuring himself too much and for pulling out drapes in the sun from a 2014 World Cup threesome match, which Giovani answered by saying more or less history has two versions “.

With these words, David Faitelson began his weekly podcast by analyzing what was the big controversy generated between a high-profile coach like the louse and a player the size of Giovani Dos Santos.

The ESPN analyst was more in charge of commenting on the issue by focusing on the coach by arguing that “Herrera should consider that he is an active DT, who at some point could have the possibility of re-directing Gio and therefore these statements do not help him.It is any realm of life, it is always good to know the truth if it leads us to be better and helps us not to make mistakes again, but in this particular case I don’t think so. “

Faitelson then considered that Herrera “has not discovered anything new. We know that Giovani is a cold-chested player, a footballer who lacked mental power to reach a great level as promised by his wonderful footballing qualities. Gio and Carlos Vela were the pillars of the so-called golden generation of 2005 from which great things were expected and both were left in a certain way, although Gio’s case was much clearer. that of Carlos Vela. While Mexican football dreamed of having a Lionel Messi or a Cristiano Ronaldo, today we see that this illusion has not materialized, “he suggested.

“The slide of his career began in the Macías of Barcelona, ​​and continued in the Tottenham of England, “said the driver of ‘Faitelson’s Look’, To continue saying that ‘from there step to’ Ipswich and then in the Galatasaray to return to half-table teams in the Spanish league, to reach the LA Galaxy and from there move to America where he is at 32 years old. Unfortunately if one takes a look back at his career, he will only find sparks of his quality like that goal in the Gold Cup final against the United States in the selection of the Chepo De la Torre”.

In another part of his analysis, Faitelson agreed with Miguel Herrera’s comparison of Giovani’s psychic strength with that of Javier Hernández. “It’s the perfect analogy,” he argued, adding immediately that “there are times when the Mexican player has a mind-boggling mentality of everything that helps him push boundaries, as is the case with Chicharito who thanks to that built a great “In other countries, we have players of great technical quality like Giovani Dos Santos who do not have the strength to persevere as his teammate did, to set an example. This is the reality,” he said. emphasized.

Finally, Faitelson closed one of the segments of his podcast by saying that “For natural skills and talent to be combined with mental strength it would seem that a miracle must happen. The day Mexico finds this combination of qualities will allow us to football we can enjoy a player at the level of a Cristiano Ronaldo, a Messi, Pell, Maradona He Zidane. First of all, we will have to settle for Gio Dos Santos, “he concluded.
