Although José Saturnino Cardozo was happy with the level of José Juan Macías in 2018 the then coach of Chivas He decided to sacrifice him for the Clausura 2019 since he had several forwards and the young man had barely had activity in a game of Liga MX.
In interview with Halftime, Cardozo clarified that the player liked the coaching staff, but had to make a decision that did not seem the best because Macías scored 16 goals with León in the year following his departure from Chivas.
“I like young players with an important future. I didn’t have him for a long time because he went to the national team a lot, he came very little, he did not do preseason with us, we had very little, but the little he showed, we were happy, “said the former scorer.
“Then we had to make the decision because there were too many forwards we had and he was the one who had the fewest minutes at the time, but he is a player who has a very important future, it depends on him if he can consolidate in Chivas and in Mexican soccer“
JJ MACÍAS ONLY PLAYED A MATCH WITH CARDOZO
Pepe Cardozo arrived in Chivas as coach for the Apertura 2018. During that tournament, JJ Macías only had the opportunity to play Round 4, they were scarce 10 minutes on August 12 in a 1-2 loss against Santos at the Akron Stadium; In addition, it was a year in which he was with the U-20 Mexican National Team that would play the World Cup in Poland in 2019.
A semester later, for the Closing 2019, the Flock had Alexis Vega, Alan Pulido, Ronaldo Cisneros and Luis Madrigal as forwards and it should be noted that Vega arrived in that tournament. Macías was not the only forward who came out; Ángel Zaldívar joined him and went to Rayados.
‘YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE MATURING’
Thistle does not doubt the capacity of Macías, but recognizes that still needs to mature despite the fact that his 21 years became a benchmark for León with 8 goals in each tournament played and now he tries to have the same results in Chivas.
“He has a good future, He is a competitive player, goalscorer, he always has his goal in mindYou do have to continue maturing and working to earn a place in Mexican soccer and world soccer. He has an important future, he is a good player, “said the coach.
