The forward of the Mexican national team Javier Hernandez He has always been in the eye of the hurricane and while some technicians highlight his great quality, others, like the case of the Dutchman Louis Van Gaal, cannot even see him in painting, as was his condition to lead the Tricolor of not calling up the famous Aztec striker.
The above was revealed by the newspaper Récord, which assured that the prestigious strategist with experience in Ajax of the Eredivisie, Barcelona, AZ Alkmaar, Bayern Munich and Manchester United, where he had his disagreements with the forward of the Mexican national team and whose relationship worsened until Hernández left for Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham United to continue showing his ability, he set that condition to come to coach Mexico.
The rejected offer
Because of that worn-out relationship, when the managers of the Mexican Football Federation offered him to coach the Mexico team For the 2022 Qatar World Cup process, Van Gaal set the only condition that Javier Hernández not be called up, since his starting forward would be Raúl Jiménez who stood out with Benfica and would later do so with Wolverhampton of the Premier League.
Finally the European coach declined the offer when everything was already settled due to family problems due to his wife’s illness and in this way the managers of the Mexican team turned to the Argentine Gerardo Martino to lead the Tricolor’s second biggest failure in a World Cup tournament in Qatar 2022.
The disagreement between Chicharito and Van Gaal
The disagreements between Javier Hernández and Louis Van Gaal reached an intolerable point which caused the Mexican to leave Manchester United to play for Bayer Leverkusen, but some time later Van Gaal himself later regretted doing without the Aztec striker, but the face of the Dutch coach with his assistant Ryan Giggs in 2015 is still remembered when Hernández took a penalty when the ‘Red Devils’ beat Bruges of Belgium 0-4, in the previous group phase of the Champions League.
The Mexican striker, who played his third game so far this season and received the opportunity to take a penalty in favor of United in the final minutes of the match when the score was 0-4 in favor, but he slipped just a few centimeters before reaching the ball to finish it and the ball went one way.
Hernández managed to hit the ball, but sent it wide. His immediate reaction, from the ground, was to turn to the grass in the area where the unfortunate action occurred, but on the bench the matter was controversial due to the face of Louis van Gaal when he turned to see his assistant Ryan Giggs, trying to explain the play, but the Briton only managed to raise his eyebrow in surprise.
With that action the fate of Javier Hernández was sealed by the controversial technician originally from the Netherlandsto emigrate to German football to stand out at Bayer Leverkusen, to the point that some time later Van Gaal ended up regretting having let Hernández and his compatriot Robin van Persie go.
