Success stories in sports often surprise everyone, like that of the Mexico national team goalkeeper, Luis Malagonwho had to go through very difficult moments that many times made him think about throwing away the harp and who finally made the best decision to enjoy the honeys of success with América.

Since the first title in the Apertura 2023 tournament a year ago, Malagón revealed the complications he experienced to become the owner of the Águilas goal and where during his stay in Santos Laguna the presence of Oswaldo Sánchez made him reconsider and think about optimizing his deficiencies to turn them into a positive issue.

Because Malagón was not born in silk diapers, far from it, On the contrary, with a father dedicated to the job of garbage collection and where they made real sacrifices to help his son realize his dreams.

These details were revealed again by his mother, who reaffirmed that even Malagón had to eat things from his own garbage: “Even eating garbage from the street, it was painful, I told him that he didn’t have to go through that. To achieve your goals you have to suffer, crying I saw his hands, all calloused, he worked in the food market on Thursdays after going to train.”

In an interview with TUDN, Malagón’s mother also announced that when he was born they did not give him much life expectancy, since she developed diabetes when she was given birth, something she also overcameto be able to continue his triumphant trajectory.

“He was born with diabetes and they didn’t give me much hope of being a normal child, the years went by and the internist “The one who saw my child told me that he would not last many years.”
