Antonio Mohamed hints at poor management by Tigres regarding Sebastian Cordova
Sebastian Cordova arrived at Toluca. Mohamed hopes to recover his form and give him the opportunities he didn't have with Tigres
Sebastian Cordova seeks to recover his form with the Red Devils of Toluca. The Mexican midfielder came from disappointing seasons with Tigres UANL. Antonio Mohamed aims to revitalize him and give him the opportunities he believes he didn't receive at the university club. The 28-year-old Mexican midfielder joined Toluca's Red Devils after his contract with Tigres expired. Cordova arrived at Antonio Mohamed's team on a free transfer. It is estimated that the midfielder, born in Aguascalientes, will wear the number 7 jersey and is under contract with the club until 2029. Antonio Mohamed, the coach who led Toluca to back-to-back championships, is aware of Cordova's quality and the contributions he can make. "El Turco" wants to give confidence to a player who has been relegated to the Tigres bench in recent months. "He (Cordova) was a player who was on the market and we found him very appealing. He's going to replace Juampi (Dominguez), who went to Leon, and the board immediately made a move and we brought him in... We know his quality, and we're going to give him the place he deserves," said the South American coach. However, Antonio Mohamed clarified that everything depends on the mentality Sebastian Cordova brings with him. Regaining his good form remains solely on Cordova's own shoulders. On his boots lies the opportunity to earn a starting position with the two-time Liga MX champions and, why not, be considered for the Mexican national team.
“His recovery depends on him. It will depend on him, on the intensity with which he trains, on his hunger for glory, to return to the forefront, right?... So, we give him the opportunity, we give him the jersey, we include him in the squad as one more. Now it will depend on him, everything he wants to do,” added Mohamed.
