Transfers Chivas: Why José Madueña was not included in the transfer list in Liga MX

Jose Antonio Madueña, defender of Chivas de Guadalajara, was among the newest reinforcements committed in December last year for the canceled closing of 2020 Liga MX, but little activity, a few injuries and the noticeable poor performance shown this year seemed to condemn his quick exit. crossing market after not being considered by the leading coaching staff Victor Manuel Vucetich, but so was the uncertainty Why was he not included in the transfer list for the 2021 Guard1anes Tournament?.

The first team of Guadalajara Sports Club arrived on December 17 at the exclusive tourist area of ​​Playa del Carmen, to start preparing work a day later and where he will remain until December 23, when the return to La Perla Tapatia is scheduled on his agenda, to break the ranks on the eve of the Christmas holidays. The day before they return, they will hold a friendly match against Santos Laguna. So they will return to work on Saturday, December 26, at the facilities of the sports city Verde Valle, to complete the final part of the pre-season.

Madueña, 30, arrived in Chivas as one of the first jobs announced by the incipient and revolutionary management of the sports director Ricardo Peláez and in order to compete for the position of right defender in the starting lineup of the then coach Luis Fernando Tena with the holder Jesus “Chapito” Sanchez, who had started after the failure Josecarlos Van Rankin in his attempt to take over, at the express request of the former coach Jose Saturnino Cardozo and that ended with his next outing on loan to Santos Laguna.

Experienced right defender had its premiere with the red and white shirt as the holder, on February 1, in a 2-2 draw with Atlético de San Luis and the next time, repeated in the 3-0 fall against Tigres UANL in San Nicolás de los Garza. This during an injury to “Chapo” Sanchez and that seemed to be enough for Tena, who only included him as a replacement in the 1-1 pact with Monterrey on March 15 in a deserted Akron stadium behind closed doors before the imminent arrival of the coronavirus pandemic or Covid-19, which forced the cancellation of this 2020 closing tournament after 10 disputed dates.

Defender, who would it be? intended by Necaxa in this market, was not included in the transfer list published by the Chivas board last week and this had Josecarlos Van Rankin after returning from his mission with Santos Laguna. But this would not be an impediment to a possible exit, because Walter Gael Sandoval It also did not appear on that list and has already been presented as a consolidation in Mazatlan FC. Madueña has a current contract with rojiblancos until December 2022, but the incorporation of Van Rankin in the pre-season and his evaluation by the coaching staff could generate a final decision for the competitor behind the right of an established player.
