We would’ve given anything to be at PSV’s legendary De Herdgang training facility today, and not just because it’s a footballing paradise located in the woodlands of Eindhoven. Today was a massive day at the club because 22-year-old Mexican winger Hirving “Chucky” Lozano returned to training after his World Cup holiday and new U-19 manager Ruud van Nistelrooy had his first training session.
The Guillermo Ochoa Silver Glove award is a deserved recognition to one the most underrated goalkeepers in the planet.
The former Club América star made 25 saves in four World Cup matches, averaging 6.25 per game, more than any other goalkeeper in Russia.
Hirving Chucky Lozano has been a revelation during the World Cup, inspiring Mexico national team fans to turn the Seven Nation Army chant into Lozano's own personal anthem. Given that he followed up a strong season at PSV with standout performances against Germany and South Korea, it's no surprise Chucky Lozano transfer rumors are widespread.
Striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is the pride of the Mexico national team and the highest paid player on West Ham United. Although the Little Pea isn't as rich as superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, Hernandez can boast a healthy paycheck. So how much is Chicharito worth, anyway?
Chicharito's estimated net worth comes in at a cool $17 million.
Having played for Deportivo, Valencia and Betis in La Liga, Mexico captain Andres Guardado has had the privilege (or perhaps the horror) of lining up against Barcelona’s Lionel Messi extensively over the past decade.
If you haven’t heard of him before, this is 15-year-old Angeleno Efrain Alvarez. He was given a professional contract by the Los Angeles Galaxy back in March, becoming the seventh youngest signing in league history.
He was sent to LA Galaxy II in the USL to begin the season, and he’s tearing up the league at an astonishing rate. Today, he scored two absolute golazos against Portland Timbers 2.
Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez has had an interesting career so far and it could indeed come full circle this summer if a mooted move back to Mexico is completed by Chivas Guadalajara this offseason.
But how exactly did we get here? Wasn’t it only a few years ago Chicharito was terrorizing defenses with Wayne Rooney, scoring important goals and winning Premier League titles? He even scored some important goals during a loan stint shortly after for Real Madrid, netting the decider in a Champions League quarterfinal versus Atletico Madrid.
Real Madrid has one match left to play this season that matters. The trip to play Sevilla was not it. Los Blancos were defeated 3-2 by Sevilla thanks to a Miguel Layún goal vs Real Madrid on Wednesday at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
It's official: Chucky Lozano is scarier than Chucky the doll. The 22-year-old former Pachuca winger scored his 16th goal of the Eredivisie season Wednesday, a season in which PSV has already clinched the league title. Not bad for his first season in Europe.
Lozano has been a revelation this season, a delightful surprise. His assured far-post finish shows how the youngster plays beyond his years and has quickly become Mexico's best player. At least, he was in the Confederations Cup.
Hirving Lozano has not even completed a full season in Europe yet, but the 22-year-old Mexican winger has already collected his first title. PSV Eindhoven wrapped up the Eredivisie on the weekend in the best possible way, beating fellow Eredivisie giant Ajax to seal the deal, with much of the credit going to the club's new signing from Pachuca.
And the fans let him know how they feel about him.
