Are you retiring? Jesús Corona’s decision with his future

One of the most important footballers in the modern history of Cruz Azul is Jesús Corona, who did not have the end he deserved in the institution. After receiving a lot of criticism for the terrible start to 2023, the club made the decision not to extend the contract. . When it seemed like he was going to retire from soccer, Chuy received the call from Miguel Herrera to come to Tijuana.

The reality is that the goalkeeper is someone highly respected in Liga MX for the incredible career he has had. Of course, the times he met the cement fans, he received a warm welcome for everything he gave to La Maquina. Even so, Corona’s future is a complete unknown because its link with Xolos is until the end of Apertura 2024.

Beyond the fact that Toño Rodríguez is Tijuana’s starting goalkeeper, Chuy has a very important value within a squad with many young people. In any case, the former cement worker proved to be effective in the last few days since, as a result of Toño’s injury, he had the opportunity to occupy the goal. While against América he recorded a total of 5 saving saves, against Atlas he was able to keep the score undefeated.

After his last game, Corona left a spoiler about what his future would be: “I feel very happy, very grateful. Possibly we will continue for next year, but first we want to finish this tournament very well and try to help the team and our teammates achieve the objectives we have set for ourselves.” Without a doubt, it is incredible that the 43-year-old goalkeeper continues with that hunger to continue competing.

The problems that Cruz Azul had to replace Chuy Corona

Although a large part of the fans were upset with the level that Chuy Corona had presented in Clausura 2023, the truth is that his departure left an important gap. In the following tournament, neither Andrés Gudiño nor Sebastián Jurado could live up to it and the team led by Joaquín Moreno felt it.. In fact, one of the first moves that Iván Alonso made when he arrived at the club was to hire Kevin Mier.

It is clear that the Colombian goalkeeper managed to quickly establish himself in the institution because he has an undeniable hierarchy. In addition, the fact that he fit perfectly with Martín Anselmi’s system also helped him adapt to Mexican soccer.. He is currently one of the most important pieces of La Maquina as he is considered one of the best players in the league.
