Javier Hernandez has received a national recall. His form for Real Madrid, where he is currently playing, has been good which has prompted the El Tri boss Miguel Herrera to give him a place in his squad.
Hernandez was picked for the World Cup, but, then got dropped for the two friendly matches played against Bolivia & Chile.
Herrera had actually been calling for Hernandez to leave Manchester United for a long time. He had regularly been saying in the media that the forward should look for options in Italy or in Spain.
Even the previous month, while talking to a sport website, Herrera had said, “I think Javier would be better off playing at any other club, maybe Juventus. He is clearly not wanted at United any more as we all can see. So, why not move to somewhere else. He has to play. The more time he spends at the pitch, the better it is for him and he is getting through a crucial phase of his career right now.”
Finally, at the start of this month, Hernandez fulfilled the wish of his national boss as he signed for the European Cup champions Real Madrid, not on a permanent basis, but, on loan. It’s not a short loan deal though. The forward will be there at Bernabeu right through the season.
Hernandez opened his scoring account for Madrid yesterday playing versus Deportivo La Coruna. He substituted Gareth Bale just about 15 minutes prior to the final whistle and fired in a couple of goals in that short period.
The Los Blancos were already ahead in the game by a margin of 5 goals. So, those 2 additional goals did not make much of a difference in result, but, Hernandez’s morale would certainly have got boosted.
