There is no doubt that the second spell of Javier Hernandez Balcazar with his beloved Chivas ended in failure. The fans were excited when he arrived for the Clausura 2024 and filled the Estadio Akron to welcome him, but he simply could not be the Chicharito of previous years, as he arrived injured.
Between injuries and perhaps a lack of interest in giving extra effort, Chicharito did not have a good time: he only scored three goals in two years in Liga MX. And just when his two-year contract ended, the club automatically decided to get rid of one of its historic players.
Chicharito has reappeared on social media
The top scorer of the Mexican national team reappeared on social media after several fans asked him if he was already retired or if he planned to play professionally again, and he replied as follows:
"Why do they ask this question so much? Do they miss me? Would they like me to continue playing? … I have not retired, people, very soon I will give you news," Hernandez said in a post on his Instagram account (CH14_).
Javier Hernandez has also remembered Chivas
Another of the questions that Javier Hernandez was asked is if he misses his teammates at Chivas, and he ended up answering yes. Although he was unable to achieve the goals set, Javier Hernandez had a very good relationship with his teammates in the Rebaño Sagrado, especially with Hormiga Gonzalez, the current top scorer of the Guadalajara team.
The relationship between Hernandez Balcazar and Hormiga is very close and became evident in the couple of years they were together at Chivas.
