Cuauhtémoc Blanco Urges Chicharito Hernández to Retire as Scrutiny Intensifies at Chivas

Blanco's appeal follows a glaring miss in a León friendly.

Overview

  • In interviews with TUDN and David Faitelson, Blanco said Hernández should "throw the shoes on the wires" and make way for younger players.
  • Hernández started the Sept. 7 friendly against León in the United States, missed a clear chance around the 12th minute, and Chivas later won 2-1.
  • He published a new reflective video and message on Instagram from the U.S., drawing split reactions and renewed criticism of his focus.
  • Since his 2024 return, he has two Liga MX goals and one in the Concacaf Champions Cup, with repeated injuries reported and his form questioned at age 36.
  • Local outlets report unconfirmed speculation that Guadalajara may not renew his contract, which expires in December, with retirement reportedly under consideration.
