Faced with the option of Pumas giving the striker the opportunity Jose Juan Macias's desire to revive his career in Liga MX, criticism has not been long in coming from several analysts and soccer people who believe that the Jalisco native has wasted his career due to his arrogance.

One of them, and perhaps the strongest, was from former Chivas, America and Cruz Azul director Ricardo Pelaez, current ESPN analyst, who from his tribune on the program Futbol Picante stated that Macias has fallen short in his growth as a player.

The main criticism from the specialist and former professional player at America, Necaxa and Chivas is that Macias has been arrogant in his behavior and has often not allowed suggestions in favor of growth as a player and footballer.

Pelaez made these statements with full knowledge of the facts after both coincided during his time as sporting director of Guadalajara and where Macias was looking to make his way in Liga MX where he achieved acceptable performance, but that made him lose his footing which led to his reluctance to accept suggestions.

"He's special... he's a different player, difficult to manage, but he undoubtedly has quality and ability. Yes, he's arrogant, he thinks he's more than what he's been able to show in football and that's good, well channeled, it's good, but I think he looked like he could be a great player and he's fallen short due to injuries, due to arrogance," Pelaez emphasized without complaint.

Pelaez also stated that: "This is a player with quality, who has goals, but does not have sacrifice, but above all he has had to face many injuries due to the same attitudes he has assumed, especially in the cruciate ligament that has made him stop his career for many months."

A close perception

For his part, Javier Alarcon, On the same broadcast of the program Futbol Picante, he questioned Pelaez about the judgment of arrogance that he attributed to the Guadalajara striker, to which he responded that he spoke because of the closeness he had with the player, especially because he had firsthand contact with Macias and whose personality, he said, does not change with time.

What he looked like to be a great player has fallen short due to injuries, arrogance, whatever. He should have matured more, grounded his mentality more, and valued his career more," Pelaez emphasized.

Finally, Ricardo emphasized that everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, and if Pumas gives him the opportunity, it will be up to the player himself to change that perception and dedicate himself 100 percent to reorganizing his career.

"He scored a lot of goals at Leon. There's a stage in football where you have to realize that football is a short career. He has to value where he is, his age, and dedicate himself 100% to this," he concluded.
