The twists and turns of life. One day you're here and 24 hours later everything changes. That is precisely what happened to current FC Copenhagen defender Rodrigo Huescas, who by chance ended up playing for the club he loves, Cruz Azul, instead of America where his father wanted to register him.

A story like many others that happen in Mexican soccer, but in the case of Huescas it became known because in the end the current defender of the Danish team faced Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League last Wednesday with an outstanding performance and where he showed that his training with the cement team was very important.

To give more context to the story, we would have to dig into the memories of Rodrigo Huescas, who in the Podcast of former Cruz Azul player Jose “Shaggy” Martinez, where he reaffirmed his conviction for the colors of the Machine and where he clearly revealed that he had rejected his father's idea of ??registering him with the America organization exactly eleven years ago.

“II was going to enroll in a school called America Valle Dorado, they spoke to my dad to tell me to leave and told him: 'bring Rodrigo, we will get him a tryout at America.' But I told him I didn't want to because I'm anti-American." Huescas explained that his love for Cruz Azul has always been unconditional and that on that occasion he chose to desist from the order of the head of the family and the wait was worth it, because later his father spoke with Christian "Chaco" Gimenez, Santiago Gimenez's father, both also former Cruz Azul players and the matter was arranged so that the current Viking team defender would play for the Maquina Celeste. "I decided not to leave, but my dad wanted to force me out. When we went to request my release; Chaco Gimenez spoke with my dad and he told him to stay calm and that they would help me get a tryout at Cruz Azul. I stayed and the rest is history," Huescas explained.

For now,Rodrigo Huescas had a dream debut against Bayer Leverkusen, as the right-back for the Mexican national team was the constant key to FC Copenhagen's attacks and even before his assist, he was very close to scoring a goal in the important European competition against the team with the famous world aspirin.

He will never stop being a Cruz Azul fan

Although Rodrigo Huescas' departure from Cruz Azul was not on the best of terms, the FC Copenhagen defender stated that he will never stop being a fan of La Maquina and that those colors are in his heart, to the point that in Denmark he wears the light blue with great pride.

"I always wear the Cruz Azul jersey, I have great memories, from my first registration, my first game and now that I am in Denmark and the team was in the finals, I even wore it in my pajamas, it's something that is in me," he concluded.
