Soccer Goals: As Ricardo Clark, Landon Donovan, and Stuart Holden garnered praise for their European moves this offseason, another MLS departure, Herculez Gomez move to Puebla, was overlooked and ignored during the holiday break.
Now many are paying attention.
Soccer Videos: Hercules debut goal and scores game winner against San Luis
After scoring his first goal in his second game for Puebla with a scintilating header, observers have taken notice, realizing that Herculez' move to the Mexican Primera Division has been fruitful.
Lumping myself in that bunch, those who forgot about his move to Puebla, I realized that Gomez was on the bench, while I was tuning in to observe Edgar Castillo's exploits against Puebla in Jornada 1. In his debut second-half appearance, the former Wizard impressed in 20 minutes of play, almost scoring on several dangerous attacking sequences in a 0-1 defeat. In Jornada 2, the dynamic attacker broke his goal scoring silence, that carried over since his Wizard days, exploiting his aerial prowess and netting the header.
Since the beginning of the season, it was evident that the the US Copa America participant belongs down south. He has scored more goals with Puebla than he tallied with the Kansas City Wizards, where he scored one goal in 34 appearances.
So, why the differerence? For starters, the former Galaxy standout has moved back to his preferred forward role. Secondly, the Mexican Primera Liga emphasizes the player's technical abilities, which can create multiple goal-scoring opportunities. Despite having received superior service in Mexico compared to the likes of the Wizard's Claudio Lopez and Jack Jewsbury, Gomez offensive attributes have enabled him to thrive early on, boasting a blend of speed, size, technical ability, and aerial prowess, that has tormented opposing defenses on counter attacking sequences and set-piece plays.
Hopefully, his move will entice other dual-citizen players with Mexican/American heritage to ply their trade down south, while, also, catching the eye of Mexican Club executives, who would like to diversify their teams by acquiring players with contrasting skill sets.
Chivas USA team mates Jonathon Bornstein and Sacha Kljestan comes to mind, when discussing potential prospects, who could transition from MLS to the Mexican Primera Division. The former could be a desirable candidate, because of his dual-citizenship and free-agent status after the conclusion of the 2010 season, while the latter's skill set and passing meshes well with the Mexican League's play, coupled with his imposing stature and free-agent status would make him a viable future candidate .
Having not been very impressed with Herculez Gomez in Kansas City and underperforming for the Colorado Rapids, I am glad to see the US international succeeding in his new home. Perhaps, his play could inspire more clubs to survey potential North American acquisitions.
MLS players could learn a different style of play, improving the technical aspects of their game, while offering their own attribtues to the Mexican league. This exchange would be beneficial for both Mexico and the US. Let's hope that the trend continues.
What do you think of Gomez' play? Will he continue to excel in Mexico? Which MLS player would you like to see in Mexico? Share your thoughts.
