Chivas of Guadalajara is experiencing a great resurgence in Liga MX. Part of their recent success is due to the contribution of one of their forwards: Armando Gonzalez. Those called upon to be "leaders of the attack" haven't lived up to expectations. Alan Pulido and Chicharito are the ones being singled out, but Gabriel Milito backed Hernandez's work. At 37 years old, Javier Hernandez is experiencing a bittersweet moment in his career. With limited playing time, constant injuries, and little offensive contribution, Chicharito is getting minutes in dribs and drabs. However, Milito highlighted Chicharito's leadership off the field. “Javier is a player with few minutes for various reasons. He's our captain, despite not playing much, but he's an impeccable professional, an important person. What better for Hormiga (Hormiga) to have him as a role model? He contributes a lot without playing; he's an important asset. His camaraderie, always trying to ensure good teamwork, he's a leader, and we need both,” said the Argentine coach. This season, Chicharito has only seen action in 4 matches. Javier Hernandez has not started in any of them. In 104 minutes on the field, Chicharito has neither scored a goal nor provided an assist.

Armando Gonzalez to the rescue

Chivas de Guadalajara's goals have been coming from Armando Gonzalez. "La Hormiga" (The Ant) has carried this burden, and Gabriel Milito highlighted the 22-year-old striker's contribution. "I celebrate 'La Hormiga's' goal; he's in excellent form, not only scoring but also creating scoring opportunities. He has a great mentality; he knows he'll get the chances, and he has the talent to score. I want to emphasize that," he stated.

"La Hormiga" Gonzalez has scored in 5 of Chivas de Guadalajara's last 7 matches. This season, the Mexican striker has already scored 11 goals, equaling Alan Pulido's record from the 2019 Apertura, the year "Puligol" was the league's top scorer. Armando Gonzalez's goals have been a lucky charm for Chivas de Guadalajara. Every time "La Hormiga" (The Ant) has scored this season,Chivas took the victory (7 wins).
