Is there a new Chicharito? Jesús Hernández, the Mexican who dazzles in Spain

Wilson Florez

There is already something far in the memory of that young man Chicharito Hernández who went to Europe to succeed with Manchester United. Currently there are very few promising center forwards trained in Aztec soccer. However, in Spain another Hernández generates great expectations. Jesús Hernández, attacker who promises in Elche.

Jesús Hernández was formed in the lower categories of the Gallos Blancos de Querétaro. The young striker managed to debut in the first division of Liga MX, but failed to convert his first goal. The 19-year-old attacker was released in June 2022 and it was not until February of this year that he managed to get a contract with Elche in Spain.

In Spain they rub their hands for Hernández

The adaptation period of Jesús Hernández to Spanish football has been nil. The Mexican recently played his third match as a starter in the Youth Honor Division of Spanish soccer and managed to score a hak-trick (three goals). The rival on duty was Castellón.

Obviously it’s great news, the Mexican is eating the category but some things need to be clarified so that we better understand his process 👇

Hernández, a player with experience in the first division of Mexico, has shown its hierarchy in Spain. The Aztec already accumulates five goals in three matches for his club. Without a doubt, this is a good first step with the aim of continuing to climb in Elche. The Mexican still has the green franjiverde B team and the first team, a club that plays in LaLiga and is in the last position of the table.

The young striker trained in Querétaro has already had the opportunity to represent the Mexican National Team in youth categories. Hernández has worn the El Tri shirt in the Under-16 and Under-20.
