Rodolfo Pizarro was Monterrey’s star signing for the Clausura Tournament 1200. Los Rayados bet on the Mexican striker to compete at the highest level this season. And Pizarro opted for Liga MX to return to his best level and seek his ticket to Qatar 2022 with El Tri. However, this signing does not convince everyone. Hristo Stoichkov attacked “Pizarrín”, pointing out that does not see in him the spirit of a winner, and that the money they have invested in him has gone to The trash.
“18 million Chivas paid for Pizarro to Pachuca, then 15 millions Monterrey paid for him, Inter paid 12, a total of $20 million dollars that have gone to waste… I do not see the spirit of a winning boy“, Said the Barcelona legend for TUDN.
For the Bulgarian, Pizarro does have talent, but that’s not enough if he lacks a winning gene. That is the theory of Stoichkov, who has not been convinced at all by the performance offered by the Mexican throughout his career.
Rodolfo Pizarro was with Pachuca, Chivas de Guadalajara and Monterrey before leaving for the MLS as one of the benchmarks for Inter Miami, a club in which he did not have the expected impact. He was not a franchise player and in two years he returned to Mexico for this new adventure.
We’ll see if Pizarro will be up to the task in this second stage with the Rayados.
