The forward, known as the Desert Fox, performed joy and sorrow in the World Cup, and visited the Premier League for one year

"Little Pea" Hernandez plays his remaining energy in the Mexican League with a bald look, but it does not hinder his status as the number one scorer in the history of the Mexican national team (52 goals).
This has to trigger a memory kill. You should know that the second place is Gared Borgerty, born in 1973, who scored 46 goals for the Straw Hats in 89 games.
Borghetti is an outlier center in football. His most prominent personal label is header.
The most outstanding masterpiece is the group stage between Mexico and Italy in the 2002 World Cup. He beat Martini and staged an incredible "Looking back at the moon" with the back of his head.
When Buffon acted as the background board, Borgette, who has Italian ancestry, fully demonstrated his ability to predict the landing point of the ball, the bounce height and the flexibility of his body.
The Mexican player who lives delicately under his feet, Borghetti, who "justs his head" seems to be an alternative school. In fact, he was once regarded as the "king of headers" by Mexican fans.
This is not a preference. Borghetti has scored 320 goals in his 16-year career, but has contributed 123 headers. This number ranks third in history (second only to Ronaldo and Santilana), and half of his goals for the Mexican national team came from headers.
"In the era when modern football shooting space is getting smaller and smaller, running or touching the ball is important." Borghetti explained his way of success, which is also in line with his nickname "Desert Fox".
Putting aside the look back against Italy in 2002, Brazil (2005) and the Netherlands (2006) were shocked by the heading skills of 30+ Borgette. Huang Jianxiang even used "there is a steering wheel around his neck" to describe the heading ability of the Mexican magic striker.
Borgerty is not a representative of becoming famous at a young age, but the road to growth is gradually progressing. He made his career debut at the age of 21, was selected for the Mexican national team at the age of 24, and won the best scorer in the Mexican league at the age of 26, and achieved three consecutive games in the scorer list. It is worth mentioning that he achieved the value of relying on his old age, so that he could be re-selected for the Mexican national team at the age of 35.
Borgerty's heroic model is no stranger to Borghetti. For example, he fought Argentina in the first semifinals of the 2005 Federation Cup and lost until the penalty shootout. He scored 14 goals in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers in Germany, defeating Van Nie and other big names to become the Golden Boot of the qualifiers.
Before the 2006 World Cup, Borgette squeezed out the "Leaping Prince" Blanco and became the front arrow of the Mexican national team.
The hero who turns the tide may not always stand on the high ground, and Borghetti also feels embarrassed that he is stumbled. He encountered three penalty kicks when he played against Brazil in the 2005 Federation Cup.
The first penalty was ordered by the referee to severely punish the teammates entered the penalty area early, and the second penalty kicked the goal frame, but the Brazilian player entered the penalty area early and obtained the right to take the penalty again. The third penalty was directly saved by Brazilian goalkeeper Dida. In the second half of this game, Borgti, who scored the winning goal, did not smile because of this, and even exploded that he could not insomnia. You should know that before taking the penalty kick, he kept drawing crosses on his chest, praying for the power of God. In addition, Mexico's then-head coach Lavolpe ordered the replacement of the penalty kicker, but it was finally abandoned after Borgety's insistence.
In the 2006 World Cup, Borghetti, who is good at heading, scored a header, because it was an own goal. You should know that before this, Mexico maintained a 1-0 lead, but the center who actively participated in corner kick defense became an undercover agent, Borghetti equalized the score for Argentina until Mexico lost the game in the end.
In fact, when he was in the first game against Iran, he was replaced early due to injury. The price of returning as scheduled was Mexico losing. No wonder he was selected into the German World Cup unlucky list.
Borghetti scored 213 goals in the Mexican League, which also delayed his chance to become a relationship with the five major leagues. In fact, joining the Premier League at the age of 32 is a kind of self-protection to a certain extent. Unfortunately, the Mexican, who jumped out of his comfort zone, was not as good as a fish in the Premier League.
According to statistics, he played 33 times in all seasons in 2005-06 and scored 7 goals. Even though he contributed the best stoppage time on the stage of the League Cup, Borghetti, who only spent 1 million pounds in the transfer fee, eventually became a passerby in the Premier League. Don't forget that he only got five starters in the Premier League in 2005-06.
Borghetti, who was in the Premier League for one year, began to decline, so that when Spain's Santander Athletics extended an olive branch, he did not dare to accept the challenge, but after a trial training, he successfully entered the arms of Saudi giant Etihad. Can dimensional reduction be achieved at the age of 33? The Mexican only played in the Saudi League for half a year before returning to his roots.
