Hirving Lozano was chosen by Gerardo Martino to share the attack front with Henry Martín, in the semifinals of the Concacaf Nations League against Costa Rica. “Chucky” is in a moment in a plethora of form, everything comes out, or almost … The Mexican invented a game that was close to becoming this season’s Puskás Award .
Lozano received a long ball b hitting him with his chest, his back. And without dropping the ball, barely turning around, he spliced a three-toed shot with his right foot, which the Costa Rican goalkeeper in the first instance, and then the crossbar, were in charge of rejecting.
😱😲🤯 The great goal that Chucky Lozano was doing!

Even without being a goal, it was a work of art. “Chucky” Lozano pulled out a play from his sleeve with resources that are available to very few, for technique and speed to execute. He is the best Mexican player of the moment.
In short: you are crazy, Hirving.
