The season that Hirving Lozano was having before his injury made him one of Napoli's best players, but he could now be forced to leave the Italian side. The economic situation at Napoli is not the best, and top management is already considering some scenarios without Chucky in the team.
Edson Álvarez habló sobre su historia en una entrevista para el Ajax en conmemoración del Día de la Bandera, en donde contó lo que significa para el ex jugador de las Águilas del América representar los colores de la Selección Mexicana.
“Millones de mexicanos siempre estarán al pendiente de ti, no importa lo que pase. Te sientes poderoso. Cuando voy a la selección y me pongo la playera, es como ir a la guerra y me transmite mucha seguridad,” aseguró. El "Machin" remarcó que “ser mexicano es algo increíble y la piel se me pone de gallina, porque ser mexicano es un orgullo.”
The USMNT and El Tri are considering Efraín Álvarez for the Concacaf Olympic qualifiers. The player who was runner-up in the World Cup with the U-17 Tricolor is on the preliminary rosters of both teams, which will be looking for a ticket to Tokyo 2021 in March.
18-year-old LA Galaxy midfielder Efrain Alvarez played for USMNT at U15 level, and Mexico at U15 and U17 level.
He's been named in both nation's preliminary rosters for Olympic qualifying.
Thursday’s Europa League Round of 32 first leg between Lille and Ajax featured a heavy dose of CONCACAF as the USMNT’s Timothy Weah and Canada’s Jonathan David started for the French side while Mexico’s Edson Álvarez went the full 90 for the Dutch team in their dramatic 2-1 win at Stade Pierre Mauroy.
Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raúl Jiménez has returned to training after his recovery from an operation on his fractured skull but his return to the team will not be rushed, manager Nuno Espírito Santo said on Thursday.
Jiménez was taken to hospital after a clash of heads with Arsenal defender David Luiz during a match in November and the club were initially not optimistic about the Mexican's return to action this season.
The sacrifice made by Hirving Lozano in the game between Napoli and Juventus had serious consequences for Chucky and will possibly affect the Mexico national team.
The Mexican forward played the last minutes of the game against the Old Lady injured, due to the fact that there were no more substitutions available.
CHUCKY IS INJURED
Scoring a goal against Mexico is a dream for every American soccer player. Clint Dempsey’s 57 goals for the USMNT is tied for the most in history, but none of those 57 came against America’s rival down south.
When Dempsey stepped up to take a penalty against El Tri in 2013, every fan expected him to bury it, right? This wasn’t the case, as one of the greatest players in U.S. history lasered his shot six yards wide of the goal. Why would Dempsey do this? We have a pretty good idea.

Agarrar tu teléfono, desbloquearlo y abrir la aplicación del cronómetro toma más de 8,95 segundos. Es un hecho. El proceso descrito tarda más y sirve para medir el tiempo que necesitó Hirving Lozano en marcar el gol más rápido en la historia del Napoli.
Sí, incluso más rápido que el récord de 9,58 segundos que tiene Usain Bolt en los 100 metros planos.
Este hombre acaba de marcar: ⚽️
Hellas Verona came from behind to stun Napoli with a 3-1 home win on Sunday despite Hirving Lozano having scored the visitors’ fastest-ever Serie A goal after nine seconds.
Lorenzo Insigne scored twice and produced a dazzling assist as Napoli stormed into third place in Serie A with a crushing 6-0 victory over Fiorentina on Sunday.
Striker Andrea Petagna teed up Insigne to fire home after just five minutes, and Petagna was again the provider when he teed up Diego Demme for the second.
Insigne produced a moment of magic on the 38th minute, winning the ball inside his own half and embarking on a winding dribble past several opposition defenders, before playing an inch-perfect pass behind the defense for Hirving Lozano to tap in.
