Foreign coaches for some time They rule in Liga MX. Some leave great marks in Mexican soccer, but others leave marks that are difficult to erase on players. This is the case of Hugo González, player who was affected by Gustavo Matosas.
Today he is a veteran archer, but in 2014 Hugo González was a young promise of the Águilas del América arch. The Mexican goalkeeper hoped to develop his career in one of the biggest teams in Mexico. But González’s experience was not good and he attributed this responsibility to Matosas.
“A guy who didn’t give me a chance (Gustavo Matosas), was a jerk, was poorly treated, well, for me he was a coach who marked my career for the worse.“said Hugo González for the Porteros TV podcast.
The Buenos Aires-born strategist took over as coach of Club América in December 2014. Matosas was in charge of the azulcrema team until May 2015. During this period, González did not have such a good time and even thought about leaving the club where he was born.
“I have a difficult moment when Matosas arrives, I think that’s when I said… ‘Hijole. I think I’d better get out of here’“, he acknowledged. It is worth mentioning that on that date, González had already been fighting for a position within the club for just over two years.
The inconsistencies of Matosas
Generally, archers are rotated between competitions. On a large scale, remembered players like Diego López and Iker Casillas had that rotation between the League and UEFA Champions League. But after you establish which archer will play in the competitions, Decisions must be maintained until the end.
Hugo González was designated to cover in the Concacaf Champions League in 2015. The Mexican goalkeeper participated throughout the entire journey of the Águilas del América. However, due to a technical decision, González was absent in the most important match of all: the final
“Even so I played all of Concacaf, I played all of Concaand still in the final he takes me away, that is The only game I didn’t play was the final, that we played in Toronto. And well, well, we are now champions and the next tournament is when Nacho (Ambriz) arrives and we already went with Nacho,” he recalled.
This match was against a Major League Soccer team, specifically Impact Montreal. In that final the starting goalkeeper was Moisés Muñoza decision that continued to influence the perception that Hugo González has about Matosas.
