Former striker Toluca said he admires striker Tigres, but he believes only time will put him in the place he deserves in history
Former Toluca striker José Saturnino Cardozo pointed out that André Pierre Gignac, a Tigres striker, is still “missing” to be in the Olympics of the best players to come to Mexico, despite the fact that she admires him and only time will put her in the place she deserves.
“Gignac is going through a good time and needs something more. To be with (Carlos) Hermosillo, missing. He is a player I admire a lot, but time will tell. You can see in front of him that he does not like to lose and that he is a leader “, said the Paraguayan at the presentation of his book” Cardozo, El Príncipe del Gol “.
“You have to applaud him and thank him for being in Mexican football. Then time will tell. We had 10 wonderful years in Mexico, “the South American added in the presence of former footballers and journalists from Mexico and Paraguay.
Cardozo, who is the fourth highest scorer in the history of the MX League with 249 goals and the second best foreigner, just behind Evanivaldo Castro ‘Cabinho’, who has made 312 goals and is the best striker in the entire history of the league, has admitted that he never had in mind to set records or that the current footballer is trying to break what did.
“I didn’t take into account how many goals I had in Toluca. I enjoyed the goals. Not that I scored two goals and now I relax. I love this profession, I love training and correcting mistakes. I tried very difficult games that my colleagues “The team said it would not be a goal and I repeated and repeated. You have to train and I know that the goals we set were not made to break the record and everyone makes their career,” he stressed.
He really expressed that there are now greater facilities to perform professionally, because the clubs have improved a lot in infrastructure.
“The player has more facilities today. It used to be more difficult. The infrastructure of the clubs makes your work easier. Before for a center you had to be focused and now the grass is a carpet. I dare to give you advice because this is easy for us. You don’t get to football just because of your talent. “
In turn, Francisco Suinaga, the president of the Toluca club, remembered that not long ago they signed a striker to whom they wanted to give him the “9” jacket, but he did not accept because he knew what it meant to have the number Cardozo used.
“When a player came to your position, I didn’t say the name, when I saw the numbers, he said that ‘9’ wasn’t because he weighed a lot and wouldn’t perform,” the manager said with a laugh. .
