The new Nervionense player also made reference to Lopetegui, a coach with whom he coincided for a few months during his time in Portugal: " I've spoken to Lopetegui in recent days. "I feel very fortunate that a coach with the quality of Lopetegui has been interested in me for so long" Y ou can see a good human quality in the group." It's a bit strange to spend so long in one shirt and suddenly find yourself in another, but I always have a smile on and off my face, because I'm delighted to have made this dream come true.
I already knew Óliver as a teammate in Porto. I've already had time to train, meet the teammates and work up a sweat. The three or four days have gone by very quickly. I feel very flattered and it gave me a lot of encouragement to decide to come to a club like this, that's why I'm here. Moving on, Corona spoke about Sevilla FC's interest in signing him and how he has been feeling over the last few days: " The interest has been there for some time. Between one joke and another, Tecate and Tecatito ended up sticking." With my surname, Corona, they started joking that they couldn't call me that and that they had to find a solution. The Mexican explained the story behind his nickname: "In Monterrey they had Tecate as a sponsor. It's strange to suddenly find yourself in a different shirt, but I'm happy and have a smile on my face"
It's sick and unfortunate that it has to come to that, but that's just where we are, apparently."The interest has been there for some time. If the fans aren't going to get a clue and stop on their own, then it's on CONCACAF or other authorities to threaten expulsion from competitions, point reductions or some other competitive measure that will resonate. FIFA has already fined the Mexican federation for its fans' chant, but it's clearly not making a dent. UEFA has threatened England and Russia with expulsion from Euro 2016 if its fans don't get in line and stop with the abhorrent violence in France. The message obviously isn't getting across to everybody. To its credit, Mexico has started a "Ya párale" campaign that literally means "Stop it," and fan groups, such as the U.S.-based Pancho Villa's Army, have tried to eradicate the word from matchday. There's no amount of "tradition" that justifies offending and discriminating against a slice of humanity. It doesn't matter how long it's been going on. The chant, which is targeted at opposing goalkeepers and has been an ongoing issue for years, is deplorable, disrespectful, homophobic, disparaging, tone deaf and despicable. Rafa Marquez heroics lead Mexico over Uruguay at Copa America More on that below.), Osorio evidently figured, "Why not? What's the worst that could happen?" Well, the worst was an early concession and Mexico nearly blowing its chance at a place in the express lane to the final. After watching Colombia make wholesale changes in its group finale only to pay the price with a loss to Costa Rica (well, at the time it seemed like a steep price a second-place finish and quarterfinal date with Peru on a thinner side of the bracket isn't terrible at all. You can take Juan Carlos Osorio out of Colombia, but you can't take the Colombia out of Juan Carlos Osorio, so it seems. Just before he sliced through the Vinotinto defense he had another great effort go just wide of the post, and with Chicharito not on until the final 20 or so minutes, the onus certainly appeared to be on Corona (who didn't start either–he was an early injury sub for Javier Aquino) to make things happen.Īs for why Mexico was even in this position to begin with, that's on its manager. He was always looking like Mexico's most likely goal threat even before his takeover moment. When you think of one-name Mexico superstars these days, the list usually starts and finishes with "Chicharito," but Tecatito has carved out his own place in the top tier of players in this region, and he further entrenched himself there Monday night. Here are three thoughts on another wild development at Copa America: Tecatito, the hero
