After leaving Chivas on the path to the Concacaf Champions Cup, Cristian Calderón has once again impacted the team with a strong statement. In the press conference ahead of the match against Atlas for Matchday 12 of Liga MX, the Mexican fullback, former Guadalajara player, mentioned that since his departure from Verde Valle, titles have started to come in.
In his statements, Calderón highlighted the quality of the team, players, staff, and coaching staff of América, making it clear that he considers the club to be the greatest in Mexico. His words generated various reactions on social media, dividing opinions between those who supported his stance and those who questioned his loyalty to the colors.
It is important to remember that Calderón joined Chivas as part of a group of reinforcements with high expectations, but his time was marked by indiscipline that overshadowed his talent, culminating in his exit through the back door after an incident at a concentration hotel in Toluca.
When asked about the recent result of the team he belonged to and if that indicated that there is only one big team in Mexico, Calderón emphasized the titles he has won since joining América and the overall quality of the squad as a demonstration of the club's greatness. In his words, he expressed gratitude for winning trophies in his new stage, hinting at a contrast with his previous time at Chivas.
