More news about Liga MX
Goalkeeper: Raúl Rangel – The young Chivas goalkeeper has had a season full of learning. Rangel took over after the irregular presentations of Miguel Jiménez and, in general terms, he has delivered.
Right back: Alan Mozo – Mozo has become one of the fans’ favorites. The winger played 1,288 minutes in 15 games in the regular phase of Clausura 2024 and added one assist.
Central defense: Gilberto Sepúlveda – ‘Tiba’ Sepúlveda has improved a lot in recent competitions and is getting closer to his best version. The central defender returned in very good shape after his injury at the beginning of the season. The team gains strength when he plays.
Central defense: Jesús Chiquete Orozco -If we talk about immovable and irreplaceable members of Chivas, Chiquete Orozco heads the list. The young red-and-white defender is the leader of the Sacred Flock defense. Everything indicates that he will not remain in Liga MX much longer.
Left back: José Castillo – After the departure of Cristian Calderón, Chivas de Guadalajara has had many problems looking for a left back. At the beginning of the campaign, Gago opted for Mateo Chávez, but the youth player was quite irregular. At the end of the regular season, the coach placed José Castillo there, who has responded.
Central midfielder: Erick Gutiérrez – ‘Guti’ looks increasingly solid with Chivas de Guadalajara. The former Pachuca and PSV player left doubts in his first tournament, but in this competition he has become one of the pillars of the team.
Central midfielder: Fernando Beltrán – ‘Nene’ has managed to combine perfectly with ‘Guti’ in the middle of the field. Beltrán has more mobility and speed than his teammate and also a longer distance.
Offensive midfielder: Roberto Alvarado – Without a doubt, ‘Piojo’ has been the best element of Chivas de Guadalajara this season. Alvarado has six goals and one assist in 13 games played in Clausura 2024.
Right winger: Isaac Brizuela – The ‘Bunny’ was one of the discards at the beginning of the season. As the games went by, and given the ineffectiveness of other footballers, Gago decided to bet on the veteran. Brizuela is no longer the fast and unbalanced player he was in his best moments. But he still has something to contribute to this team.
Left winger: Pável Pérez – Pérez started the season with a great performance, but this was frustrated due to an injury. Towards the end of the season, the winger regained his position and has responded on the pitch. He is not that deep, but he supports a lot in defensive tasks.
Center forward: Ricardo Marín – The former Celaya player is the one who best fits Fernando Gago’s idea of the game. Marín has won the game against José Juan Macías and has taken advantage of the fact that ‘Chicharito’ Hernández has had physical discomfort to maintain his place as a starter.
