He may not be in his best form, as the years do not pass in vain, but the Frenchman remains current and latent, being one of the most powerful weapons of the Regio team.
At any moment the historic striker can change a match, which was seen last weekend against Chivasalthough he missed a penalty, he later appeared with an incredible shot from close range that beat the red-and-white goalkeeper to prevent his team from falling.
One of the advantages of playing at Ciudad Universitaria is that the heat ends up costing the opponent dearly, which is why Universidad Nacional often starts out as the big favorite on its court. However, the last encounters between both teams have ended in draws, at least that’s what happened in the last two, while the locals won their last visit by the minimum. A tough duel is expected and will surely end with the two teams dividing points.
In its last five games, U de Nuevo León has only scored one or two goals. Against Chivas, New York City and Pachuca He only scored once, while against the Inter Miami and to Puebla Yes, he did two, despite having great forwards.
