On the phone Carlos Hermosillo, former world cup player in the United States 1994 and true talent from the American network Fox Sports, who insisted that the forwards for the 2006 World Cup must be Raul Jimenez, Santiago Gimenez and Armando “Hormiga” González and as “covered” Guillermo Martínez.
“I think Raúl Jiménez, Santiago Jiménez and La Hormiga are going to go as forwards; I don’t know if I’m going to put Julián Quiñones in that category as a forward, but I don’t think so, I doubt it; I rather think that he is going to put it in as another means.”
“But I think there will be three forwards that he will take and I don’t think he will take Berterame“But I think that the one who can sneak in is the one from Pumas, Guillermo “Memote” Martínez, because it gives him another starting option and another aerial game option,” said the forward who in 1994 saw action in the forward line for Mexico against Ireland and Italy.
In the talk with The Opinionthe living legend of the Cruz Azul Celeste Machine, also said about the moment that the “Ant” González is living and whom they already want to compare with the Spanish Yamile Yamal, when I think Armando should go calmly and not get carried away by exaggerationsespecially because he has the great merit of being in the goal zone, generating danger.
“He has a good future, he has a lot to learn, but they are comparing him to Yamil Yamalthat his value is higher than that of the Spanish when he started, does not do him any good. I think it is too absurd a comparison at this moment, because in this country we are used to lifting them up so much that after a while they collapse,” said the true talent of Fox Sports.

Hermosillo also clarified that he does not detract from the Chivas strikerbut quite the opposite: Of course he is a great player, who has been handled very well by his coach and we must recognize that he is a player who has a goal and that today in Mexico there are very few Mexican goal scorers.”
But the former blue crosser insisted that: “He has to learn a lot more, because he misses many opportunities, but that also shows that he knows how to be at the right moment and sometimes I see that he arrives at the goal very quickly and that’s why he misses.
“I think he must learn to pause, as I remember what César Luis Menotti said, who taught me that the times for the players are different, both for the defender, the midfielder and the center forwards, where pauses within the area are key. There are very few players in the world like Luis García or Luis Flores who had very quick decisions and that was his success,” said the fifth best scorer in the history of the Mexican team.
🇲🇽🚨 BELIEVING COSTS NOTHING: “We will make history with Mexico, I want to be world champion, I see it…”

Finally, he said that “Vasco” Aguirre will have more than a few weeks to spare with the election of the 26 World Cup players, where that can make the difference, although he said that an important part could be the support of the fans as in 1986.
“I think the fans are going to have a very important role, how this team can grow a lot,” he concluded.
