The Nominees Are…
By: Andrea | July 23rd, 2009
Chivas didn’t have a super outstanding Apertura 2008 or Clausura 2009. Despite that, we’ve got a few nominees for FEMEXFUT’s Balon de Oro.
Apertura 2008 Nominees
Johnny Magallon- Best Central Defender
Victor Hugo Hernandez- Best Newcomer
Clausura 2009
Luis Ernesto Michel- Fair Play Award
Toluca and Pachuca have someone nominated in basically every category.
Nominations were by the 18 club captains and managers.
I’d like to have more nominees for Chivas. Perhaps they didn’t really deserve it this time around, but come on! Michel could have received a nomination for best goalkeeper for the Clausura 2009.
Also, good for Johnny Magallon. That guy really deserves the win. He’s a hardworking player, and he’s on the national team for a reason. Although there are a few shaky moments there have also been lots of downs that have prevented him from reaching top form and staying there for a while.
And Hugo Hernandez. That guy really stepped it up during Michel’s absence. If anything should happen to Michel(please no), it at least calms my nerves knowing that we have him there.
Of course Michel. The kind hearted Michel. He deserves more recognition than just the Fair Play award, but that’ll have to do. Perhaps a call-up from Mr. Aguirre would be nice as well?
The awards will be handed out on Monday July 27th in Mexico City. The awards will be shown on both TV Azteca and Televisa as well as on Telemundo in the US(but they will be shown on August 1st).
And remember……..the first game of the Apertura 2009 will be on Sunday against Toluca.
