Hugo Sánchez was one of the greatest soccer players ever given Mexican soccer. The “Pentapichichi” dazzled Real Madrid, but at the national team level he did not achieved nothing important. “Hugol” assured that if he had represented another country, he would have won a World Cup. Carlos Hermosillo was the first sufferer of that strong statement.
“The problem of Hugo was his mouth, sometimes we speak with our stomach before thinking things through. If Hugo had been more humble without being so rash in his statements, he probably would have achieved many more things as a coach because as a player he was undoubtedly the best of all Mexicans, but that statement when he says that he would have won the World Cup if he wasn’t from Mexico is very wrong because he attacks all his teammates Or could he only play with Míchel and Butragueño ? You should never spit up, in life you have to be congruent and that does not exist in him“ , Hermosillo replied in an interview for FutVox’s Mother Soccer.
Hugo Sánchez’s ego condemned him in the national team
The “Pentapichichi” came to the Mexican team as a star. The Aztec soccer player had special attention and a completely different lifestyle. But this situation generated murmurs in the locker room and this was revealed by the historic strikers of Cruz Azul.
“ Hugo arrived from Spain with his masseur and for me he was the international player, the great scorer, but to be honest, Hugo Sánchez disappointed me a lot because in the National Team he did not achieve anything important, which he did in European clubs (…) In the National Team she lived attending advertising commitments and she was almost never with us. He’s a guy who only cares about himself, an individualist, his ego is stronger than anything else. For a young man like me who only had two years since debuting and being able to live with your idol and realize what he was like, I was expecting something else, it left me much to be desired”, confessed Hermosillo.
“If I had played for another team and not in Mexico, I would have won the World Cup, but I had to play with Mexico”

Hugo Sánchez is no more bigger than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi
Given the disagreement of “Hugol” for not having won a World Cup, Carlos Hermosillo used as an example two great players who have not yet been able to lift the World Cup with their countries, but despite this they do not reproach their peers.
“Yes, Messi, who is the best player in the world in a National Team like Argentina, with great players around him, has not been a World Cup champion. If Cristiano has not been able to win it either being who he is as a footballer, why would Hugo Sánchez have been able to win the Cup, please ”, he concluded.
