Mexican Players Abroad

Celta Vigo sits third in LaLiga after three games on the back of a commanding 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid at the Balaidos on Saturday. The ability of Celta’s backline to completely nullify the threat posed by Antoine Griezmann and Diego Costa (Atletico didn’t land a shot on target throughout the entire match) saw its defenders marked out for individual praise, especially 27-year-old Mexico international Nestor Araujo.

Raúl Jiménez is enjoying a fine start to his Premier League career. Was. 

The former Club América forward spent a year at Atlético Madrid and three at Benfica before joining Wolverhampton on loan ahead of this season. He scored a late equalizer against Everton in Wolves’ first match back in the Premier League and has started every league match so far. 

But Saturday’s match against West Ham and fellow Mexico international Javier Hernández did not go so well for Jiménez.

PSV Eindhoven is turning into Pachuca East, or maybe the Dutch El Tri. After the incredible success of former Pachuca winger Hirving Lozano, the Erick Gutierrez PSV transfer was officially announced Thursday, the day after Chucky helped fire the Dutch club into the Champions League group stage.

After breaking through in monster fashion last season, Hirving “Chucky” Lozano somehow looks destined for even bigger and better things during his sophomore year in Europe. The 23-year-old Mexican winger already has two goals in three Eredivisie appearances, and now his two goals — including one today — in PSV’s 6-2 aggregate win over BATE Borisov have ensured the club’s participation in the 2018-19 Champions League group stage. 

It’s been a rough start for new boss Manuel Pellegrini and West Ham in the Premier League, where the club has opened the new campaign with three consecutive defeats, but the Hammers took a positive step forward by beating League One side AFC Wimbledon in the second round of the EFL Cup Tuesday.

Hirving “Chucky” Lozano made his Champions League debut and did it in style with a stunning goal in a wild 3-2 win over BATE Borisov on Tuesday. 

Maybe we need to make this a weekly thing now. Hirving Lozano scored, again.

Mexico’s 23-year-old winger made it two goals in two Eredivisie matches, scoring the opener for PSV Eindhoven against Fortuna Sittard on Saturday.

Hirving Lozano scored in PSV’s season opener last week against Utrecht, smashing home first time as the reigning Eredivisie champion began its title defense with a 4-0 victory.

Hirving Chucky Lozano ain’t slowing down anytime soon.

After a torrid World Cup with Mexico, the 23-year-old winger scored yet again in PSV Eindhoven’s first league match of the season. 

Chucky was a second-half sub in the 2018 Johan Cruyff Shield match on Aug. 4 against Feyenoord, which ended in a 6-5 loss on penalty kicks for PSV. The Mexico City native started and played the full 90 against FC Utrecht in the opener of the Dutch Eredivisie on Saturday.

Guillermo Ochoa transfer rumors are lightning up the market and Memo’s fans could not be more excited. But should they?

The Mexican international recently claimed the Silver Glove after his brilliant performances in the World Cup.

Moreover, he confirmed his status as one of the most underrated goalkeepers in European leagues.
