The Rabbit goes to Tigers

Oscar ‘conejo’ Perez is now at UANL Tigres. Along with Chivas Alfredo Talavera. Cirilo Saucedo is transferible but still with the team. This will be fun to watch and see who will start in Monterrey. We have a old but veteran Conejo Perez and a young Talavera, who had some instances of brilliance with Chivas if I do recall correctly in the Interliga a couple of years back. Of course Michel came in and took his spot. Saucedo was an ok keeper, but with the way ALL of Tigres played last year, might as well have a cleaning just like America.

It would be cool to see Conejo teach and groom the young Talavera into becoming another one of Mexico’s NT contending goalkeepers. This way we may never see Moises Muñoz again in the National Team.

Maza Rodriguez to Holland; PSV Eindhoven

After rumors and apparent negotiations, Francisco “Maza” Rodriguez is going to PSV Eindhoven in Holland to play Football. Maza came on the scene in Mexico with his call up to the National Team during the Lavolpe era. Controversial, in my opinion, was his call up as he failed to impress during this time, making dumb errors at times.

I must admit however in recent times, with Chivas he as improved tremendously. He has increased his decision making and his ball control.

This announcement to Rodriguez came as a surprise, during Chivas preparation in the Liguilla tournament, Maza received the call from Chivas VP Nestor de la Torre.

In press conference along with Coach Efrain Flores, the announcement was made. Maza had a big smile on his face and full of excitement said:

“I don’t know anything about amounts, just the news has me excited. Thanks to God it happened, my dream is fulfilled, that as a professional who puts goals. I know it will be a challenge and I will join my compadre, referring to Carlos Salcido.

I’m happy for him, I hope he progresses and maybe ends up contributing to the National Team. I would like to see him make an impact on the offensive side. With his height he has scored many goals with Chivas off corner kicks and set pieces.
