Mexican soccer is the most demanding in all of Concacaf and its level reaffirms it year after year in international tournaments. Liga MX is not an easy tournament and the Dos Santos brothers can attest to that . Giovani arrived at the Águilas del América and ended up leaving through the back door; his brother Jonathan signed with the azulcrema team with the same expectations, but his adaptation has been difficult and The bench has been his place in the club.

Giovani dos Santos, the first to arrive at the club, was affected by injuries and failed to convince in his interventions on the pitch. The former FC Barcelona player was not renewed by the team and today he has more than a year without playing an official match . “Gio’s” career collapsed, because he has not been able to find a team since left the azulcrema institution.

Interestingly, his brother Jonathan’s career seems to be going the same way. The player of 32 years old came to Liga MX from the Los Angeles Galaxy of MLS. However, Dos Santos failed to win the trust of Santiago Solari and with Fernando Ortiz on the bench it seems to be the same story. Under these circumstances, the departure of the Mexican international begins to generate murmurs.

The numbers of Jonathan dos Santos

Jonathan dos Santos left the starting and leading role with the Los Angeles Galaxy for seize the bench in the Águilas del América . Dos Santos has participated in seven games with the club in which he has only been able to provide one assist. However, the number of games in which he has entered is not sufficiently proportional to the minutes of play, since has only been 167 minutes inside the field, that is, it does not even reach two full games.
