The Vela-Hernández duel was the most anticipated in Mexico when the Champions League draw included Manchester United and Real Sociedad in group A. In the end, two of Mexico's best players have tied 0-0 in 180 minutes but with a more positive balance for the "Red Devil" who at least tasted victory at Old Trafford. La Real says goodbye and United has not been able to score a goal against the Basque team in two games.
The ownership of “Chicharito" surprised everyone at Old Trafford, less in Anoeta. The truth is that the Jalisco player is not playing much in Manchester, In fact, Carlos Vela claimed minutes for his compatriot a few days ago. They are both friends, The two profess mutual affection but today they were wearing different colors.. Much was expected of the two best Mexican players, In the end neither of them has made the difference, although neither have United, in the middle of the crisis, and a Real that was left in the previous round, against Lyon, the game that would have taken him much further.
Many Mexican fans have followed the Vela-Hernández duel with expectation, The two best Mexican players face to face aroused a lot of interest in all the country's media.. Tomorrow they will be able to tell little. Hernández was very active in the first duel, Carlos better in the second.
Those of us who experienced the magic of Old Trafford, We were hoping to knock down Manchester today, In the end, Real Sociedad has paid for the hazing. Bad luck in the opening match against Shakhtar, the goal in the minute 92 against Leverkusen in Germany and the best defender "White-blue", Iñigo Martinez, He had the misfortune of scoring the only goal in two games with Manchester United through his own goal., probably the only consolation left to realists. For your part, los "Red Devils" They will have to improve a lot to aspire to something this season, difficult ballot for Moyes. The moral victory for Hernández, although the one who is indisputable in his team is the realist.
The controversy with Carlos Vela continues.
With Mexico in the play-offs and Vela out of the national team, it will be difficult to see these two geniuses in another match., at least for now. Hernández and Vela would be one of the most feared forward partnerships in the next World Cup. It's a shame that the Mexican media and the Mexican soccer federation have agreed to criticize and blame the Cancun player for his absence from the “Tricolor”.
Before the Panama game (Sail to the rescue of Mexico) “Hanging” has already spoken on the subject, we will not do rhetoric, We stick with what another of the best Mexican soccer players of the moment said a week ago, Giovanni Dos Santos, what many of us think, I also put a cape on the realist: “People wonder why Vela is not in the national team.”. He has prestige here and he goes to Mexico for what?, why would they kill him?. And he is going to play with another system other than Real. And those of us in Europe take all the criticism. Four coaches in one month says it all. There is a lack of style and knowing what we should do on the field. The team doesn't know what to play. Many of these players won the gold medal in London”. It seems that the controversy will continue, worse for Mexico, worse for football.
