The probabilities of Alan Mozo returning into the national team picture aren’t looking high (just yet)? Although he’s one of the most attack-oriented Mexican full-backs of our time, he’s been highly questioned for his poor defensive decision-making.
In today’s episode, we draw out some of his pros and cons, but the overall sentiment is that he has the potential to be a top player. There’s just not that many Mexican players that possess his attacking flare.

In 2022, Charly Rodríguez started all of El Tri’s World Cup qualifying games. Alongside Oscar Nanco (@The_MaquinaEN), we delved into some stats and observations from his recent performances with El Tri and Cruz Azul. Can we say with certainty that Charly is a set starter for El Tri in the World Cup? We’re still not sure.

After chatting with Jonathan González, Ivan Fernandez joins me for this episode to talk about the career of the Mexican-American midfielder. To give you a good idea of how the listen goes, the first half is mainly about Jonathan’s current year with Monterrey and El Tri. The second half is a little bit of everything, from Efrain Alvarez to the Mexican American story. Thanks for listening! Un abrazo fuerte!

Didn’t see that one coming, but here are my thoughts after that bad 4-0 loss. One minor correction, when I talked about Héctor Moreno’s game against Belgium, I accidentally said, “the 3-3 against Germany,” other than that minor mistake, enjoy the listen. Gracias por escuchar! Abrazo fuerte!

And some thoughts on Diego Lainez’s situation with Betis. As of right now, I think he’ll remain with Betis, and there won’t be a loan-move to start the 2019-20 season.

In addition to what we publish on De Lejitos, we’re going to include Resortera Wave into the mix. The goal is to add Resortera Wave episodes on De Lejitos to add a bit more content. I like the idea of adding Resortera Wave into the mix because it gives me another option to share my observations. In this inaugural episode, I talk about Edson Álvarez and Diego Lainez’s weekend. And to close it out, I analyze Querétaro’s 2-1 win over Pachuca and give my thoughts on Víctor Guzmán’s recent months.
Thanks for listening, abrazo fuerte!
