Andre-Pierre Gignac, the best Mexican football abroad 2015

Last update 9 August, 2024 by Alberto Llopis

Tigres won his fourth star in Mexico after winning the Apertura 2015 in the Aztec country. Much of the signings were to blame the cat box held in summer for the final phase of the Copa Libertadores and the Apertura 2015 (in Mexico short tournaments are played 6 months). Some went wrong like Ike Uche who arrived with great fanfare Villarreal and did not play a minute in the MX League or Libertadores, and others succeeded as Aquino also from equipment Castellon, the young Jurgen Damm and of course the French André-Pierre Gignac.

Very Valuable Player in Europe, Tigres reached in summer 2015 after finishing second top scorer in Ligue 1 during the season 2014/15. Despite this and age, many hoped that came to Mexico as a golden retirement where winning a few million more and see them come. Nothing is further from reality because the French, It has been without doubt the best Mexican football abroad 2015.

Gignac scored 15 goals in 20 MX Liga matches, It is one of the gunners of the tournament and 1 in the Copa Libertadores, who scored in the semifinals of the tournament against Internacional and marked his first goal with the shirt of Tigers. His performance 6 months has been such that Europe siren song sound again for the French return to the old continent to score goals but his communion with the city of Monterrey and Tigres looks strong.

While the French seems a more regal and its output, It seems complicated. During the France-Germany, sadly marked by the attacks in Paris 13 November 2015, He came to celebrate his goal with his coat “bleu” with a clear message for feline fans. We do not know what will happen to the future of French but what is clear is that on merit, numbers and profitability, It has become the best Mexican football abroad 2015. Something that otherwise expected.
