In the world of cinema there are awards to distinguish the best films of each year: be it the Oscars, the Golden Globes, among others. However, there are also the Razzies, an award to name those films that disappointed or that were frankly very bad.
In the world of football things are somewhat different, although there are distinctions for the best footballers, both locally and internationally, there are none that are given to those players who receive the most criticism and criticism for their performance every weekend. .
This text is not intended to ridicule or diminish the career of any of the players included in the list. Reaching professionalism is a task that only some achieve and shining in the first division is even more remote.
In this list we include players who have been classified by fans as some of the “worst players” of our time.
The central defender from Los Mochis is always included in these types of lists, which might seem somewhat unfair. Although he is the author of the 'Huiquinha', one of the most infamous plays in the history of the league, Huiqui was a starter for many years in Cruz Azul, Morelia and Pachuca, has a Liga MX title and was about to go to the 2006 World Cup.
Santiago Fernández's career was very brief. The American youth squad seemed to have something special, he was even part of Barcelona B. However, his career was stained by that disastrous match between the Mexican National Team and Haiti in the pre-Olympic qualifying for Beijing 2008. The striker was never able to overcome that failure and he retired in 2009 after playing in Puebla.
Leaño was the source of criticism and ridicule throughout his career. The defender was singled out for always being a starter on the team owned by his family. Although Leaño was never characterized as a technical player, he always showed courage on the court. It was enough for him to play almost 300 games in the first division and play in a final.
The Ecuadorian forward is one of the worst elements that have come to America in its history. Mina came to the Águilas as the replacement for 'Chucho' Benítez, but he suffered more pain than glory in Coapa. He is not fondly remembered in the azulcrema team after his tremendous failures in the 2013 Apertura final. He also did not shine with Atlante.
Rafa Baca's is a unique case. The midfielder was harshly criticized by his own fans during his almost 10-year journey in the institution. Baca won a Copa MX, a Mexican Super Cup, a Liga MX, a Campeón de Campeones and a Liga Super Cup. Despite his achievements, he is not remembered very fondly in La Noria.
Domínguez's case is similar to Baca's. The Mexican center back trained in the basics of the Celeste Machine and won several titles with the club. He played 655 games with Cruz Azul, he was a starter with practically all the coaches who led the cement producers in the last 17 years and yet there are those who call him a “bad player.”
'Pikolín' Palacios was the object
of ridicule for much of his career. His detractors pointed out, every time they could, his lack of technique and his slowness. The Pumas defender won four titles as a player for the UNAM team. Not bad, right?
The Argentine forward arrived with a lot of cartel at Atlas in mid-2015. Bergessio spent a year with the red-and-blacks and his level left much to be desired. He played 37 games and scored eight goals.
The Ecuadorian striker arrived as a bet from Leones Negros to avoid relegation. However, Anangonó was not the forward that the long-haired players expected. His time in Mexican soccer was rather disappointing.
The Brazilian winger is remembered for his fleeting time in the Celeste Machine. The footballer spent a year in La Noria and left many memories behind him. Francinilson Meirelles, his real name, was distinguished by his speed, although his dribbling could be clumsy.
Mena arrived at Monarcas Morelia at the beginning of 2015 and left the ranks of the Purépecha team a year later with more sorrow than glory. The winger is remembered for a high-speed counterattack play in which he ended up stumbling alone.
Gio, without a doubt, is one of the historic players of Mexican soccer, however, his time in Liga MX with América was more than disappointing. The Aztec forward showed very little with the Eagles and when it seemed that he reached an acceptable version, he was seriously injured.
The goalkeeper was Guillermo Ochoa's substitute for many years and fulfilled when required. When Memo left the Águilas, Navarrete received an opportunity, but could not establish himself as a starter. He couldn't do it in Atlas either.

Like Santiago Fernández, Landín's career was marked by the pre-Olympic tournament. Landín, who emerged from Pachuca, was one of the bets for Mexican soccer in the future. However, between bad decisions and the great failure in El Tri, the forward fell and wandered through several clubs in the MX League and abroad.
Cruz Azul is the team with the most entries on the list. Some of the players labeled as 'bad' or 'trunks' are here unfairly. Edcarlos Conceicao earned this place hard. The Brazilian center back had a short spell in the team, but he insisted on doing it badly, lousily.
The former Roma, PSG and AC Milan striker had everything to be a world star, he just lacked discipline. He arrived at the Águilas at the beginning of 2018 and never settled into the Coapa team. He shone more for his off-field activity than for what he did on the field of play.
The Brazilian forward arrived with the responsibility of taking Humberto Suazo's place. Little and nothing happened with Val Baiano. He spent six months in the institution.
The Argentine forward had a brief stint with the Eagles, but whenever people talk about the “worst players” in the history of the league, his name comes up. He only spent one semester with América. He played 14 games and scored three goals.
Tigres paid a million dollars to acquire the services of the Brazilian promise. Cardoso never gave up on the cats and spent a year in the institution.
The Paraguayan midfielder arrived at Club América with a good showing thanks to his performances with the Guaraní team. Vera never found himself in Mexican soccer and was distinguished by his slowness and by missing called goals.
