La maldición mexicana del Sevilla
The first to do so was Gerardo Torrado, who is booked in the year 2002 for Sevilla F.C., where he would finally play in the professional soccer league. Torrado was a roller coaster of ups and downs until 2005 is transferred to Racing Santander, playing six months with the Verdiblanco club before returning to his country as he would be signed by the Blue Cross. During all his years at Sevilla he scored only one goal.
The next to try would be Miguel Layun, who arrived on loan to Sevilla at the beginning of 2018. A signing that at first seemed to be from Real Betis, but what finally, the 29 from January, becomes official in the team Lopetegui, with a call option that ended up unexercised. The Mexican winger came on loan to the Andalusian team in search of a leading place in Europe. But nevertheless, he left the team without glory scoring only 2 goals in 18 games he played in the season he wore the white and red shirt. After passing through Sevilla, he went to Villarreal in the summer market of that same season and currently plays for Fútbol Monterrey..
To the third they say that it is expired, or so Sevilla thought when he 2 September 2019 announced the signing of Javier Hernandez, Chicharito, by 8 million euros with a contract until 2022. In the red and white team he scored a total of 3 goals in 15 games played until he was signed by the Angeles Galaxy in the winter market of 2020. So the player of 31 years he became the third Mexican soccer player to play for the red and white team. Up to now.
Las esperanzas puestas en Tecatito
With the arrival of Tecatito Corona, Sevilla FC begins the winter signings. The Mexican arrives from Porto and signs a contract until 2025. The intention is to be available for tonight's cup derby. After having tried martial's options and Orsolini, the high claims of United and Bologna have forced Sevilla to opt for the Corona option. An option very much to Lopetegui's taste, who expects with this new incorporation a reinforcement in the Nervionense staff. Could this be the definitive Mexican that Sevilla needed?? Will he be there to prove it in today's match with Betis??
