To the surprise of appriximately nobody, Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is the most popular player in the Bundesliga.
We know he's the most popular player in the Bundesliga because the Bundelsiga held a Twitter popularity contest, called "Bundesliga Idol," and, predictably, Hernandez won.
Bundesliga Idol followed the format of its namesake, TV show American Idol, with one contestant voted off every round.
Javier "Chicharito" Hernández finalmente ha salido y ha dicho por qué se fue del Manchester United. No es que no supiéramos ya por qué se fue.
Como era de esperar, Chicharito descubrió que Louis van Gaal era mucho menos fanático que el anterior entrenador Sir Alex Ferguson. Chicharito dijo en una entrevista con la televisión española (citas cedidas por Marca) que van Gaal intentó que se fuera nada más llegar el holandés al Manchester United.
Chicharito is coming to play in the USA in January.
At least, his team is coming. Bayer Leverkusen are scheduled to play in the Florida Cup, a friendly tournament involving teams from different countries around the world, in January. The tournament will take place in different sites in Florida.
Just when we thought Mexican forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez had reached the peak of his powers with an incredible run on form, he went and topped himself by scoring a hat trick in Bayer Leverkusen's 5-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach.

It's no shame to be eliminated from the Champions League by the current best player in the world, who hapens to be one of the greatest of all time. That's what happened to Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez and Bayer Leverkusen Wednesday, when they were eliminated by Lionel Messi and Barcelona.
Hertha Berlin won the game, but Bayer Leverkusen's Mexican forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez continued hus run of fine form with another goal.
This run has seen Hernandez score 11 goals in his last 10 games and for his efforts be named the Bundesliga player of the month for November. His latest goal was an equalizer to level the Hertha Berlin-Bayer Leverkusen game at 1-1. Berlin would go on to win 2-1, with Hernandez picking up a yellow card for arguing with the referee in the 93rd minute.
