“I am not a robot, I am not perfect”, admits Javier Hernández

Javier Hernández is about to start a new season with LA Galaxy this Sunday when they face Inter Miami CF. Chicharito is going through a moment of resurgence in all aspects of his life, both professional and personal. The Mexican forward has expressed on several occasions that the last tournament was in debt to the Angelenos, so he hopes to be able to repay the trust received by the institution on the field. At the same time, he acknowledges that he has hit rock bottom on a personal level and being a public figure, he wishes to normalize the issue of emotional health.

“I am not a robot, I am not perfect,” said Javier Hernández in a Major League Soccer videoconference this Wednesday. “It is a difficult subject to talk about, I hope it normalizes, regardless of who you are or how much money you have, it does not matter, we are all human. Our work as athletes, it is true, has a lot of responsibility and you end up being very public, your words have an impact, but you shouldn’t ask for perfection from anyone, that doesn’t exist ”.

Throughout his career, the top scorer of the Mexican National Team has been a figure that polarizes public opinion. Chicharito has soccer in his blood, since his late grandfather, Tomás Balcazar, and his father, Javier Hernández, who were also soccer players; the expectation around what Chicharito must achieve is great from a young age.

“(Vulnerability) is an issue that I am trying to show more, I hope that one day we can normalize that we are human, it does not mean that being in this position makes me have more value than anyone else working here in the stadium or wherever. I want to continue improving, doing what I love, we must demand each other, but not expect perfection, “he said.

After a successful 10-year career in Europe, where he visited the jerseys of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham and Sevilla, Chicharito joined the ranks of the LA Galaxy in 2020. His first season in the US league did not it was expected; two injuries kept him off the court for several months and he was only able to score two goals.

“We are very motivated by the start of the season, happy for the progress we have made, the entire institution wants to take a step forward. I don’t know how to measure how excited I am, you can see it on my social networks and I hope it can be my best version this campaign, ”said the 32-year-old attacker.

One of the big questions in recent months has been the absence of Javier Hernández with the Mexican National Team. The technician Gerardo Martino, has chosen not to call Hernandez. His last call-up with El Tri was in September 2019. Also with the Mexican National Team, Chicharito wants to be able to resurface.

“I have not closed any doors to the national team, otherwise I would have retired. Nothing has changed, nothing has changed because I have not played a game. The one who has to open the doors with the national team is me showing a good level, “he said. “That will happen when I do things well with my club, so all my focus, all my desire and good vibes right now go to the LA Galaxy so that things turn out well here.”

Chicharito is in the best physical shape of his career and is a leader in the LA Galaxy dressing room. He has worked hard both physically, mentally and spiritually to show his best version as a person and a footballer. So this 2021 could mean the resurgence of Javier Hernández in all aspects.

“That makes us incredible as humans, we are not perfect and every day we have the opportunity to improve, to learn; every day we face difficult situations and we have the opportunity to move forward ”.
