Marcelo Flores was classified as one of the great jewels of Mexican soccer. The former England Arsenal player went to Tigres de la UANL to continue developing as a footballer. With more opportunities on the field, The “Cello” shows its qualities and a voice of experience like Ricardo Ferretti recognized it.
“Tuca” is one of the winningest coaches in Mexican soccer. The Brazilian strategist has been one of the great managers in the successes of the UANL Tigers. Now, Ferretti works as a sports analyst and did not hide his praise for Marcelo Flores.
“(Of the aspects), What I prefer in a player, the main combination, for me, is mental-technical, and I believe that this player has a good mentality (Flores), and has good hitting technique; he is organized, tactically, he is disciplined,” said Ferretti in Fútbol Picante.
When he played for Arsenal in England, the young Aztec was described as one of the great promises of Mexican football. However, The “Cello” has lost its shine in the eyes of some fans.
Under these circumstances, Ricardo Ferretti used all his experience in Mexican soccer and explained one of the problems of Aztec soccer fans:to effervescence in the face of some good games and inveterate criticism for some mistakes.
“A player plays a good game and we already name him for the top scorerand sometimes he misses a goal, like he did against América, and We already want to hang it from the highest pole in the world… we do not have this balance, this stability with the criticisms that we sometimes make: we exaggerate both up and down,” he explained.
Marcelo Flores and his goal in Concachampions
“Chelo” had the opportunity to play 72 minutes in the second leg match for the round of 16 of the Concacaf Champions League. The young Mexican forward took advantage of the opportunity given to him by Robert Dante Siboldi and managed to score a goal and provide an assist for the UANL Tigres’ 4-2 victory over Orlando City.
“You must be patient and take advantage of the opportunities you have to demonstrate how today he plays a good game; against América, he didn’t play badly“Ferretti advised the young Mexican promise.
In general terms, this is Marcelo Flores’ first goal in 2024. “Chelo” has participated in 8 Clausura 2024 matches, but he has been on the court for 243 minutes. This international duel was a great showcase for the young 20-year-old forward and he did not waste it.
