Anderlecht are on the verge of signing César Huerta. But who is this 24-year-old Mexican from UNAM Pumas? What can Mauves et Blancs fans expect?
Journalist Nazario Assad De Leon, who writes for Mexican media outlet MX Futbol, has followed Huerta closely in recent years and seen how he has won over fans in his native country. “He is indeed a very popular player with us. The fact that he plays for one of the four biggest clubs in Mexico contributes to that, but it is mainly thanks to his character, his personality and his style of play “It even earned him praise from opposing supporters,” he said on Voetbalprimeur.be.
In Belgium, images circulated showing many Mexican fans saying goodbye to Huerta at the Pumas training center and at the airport. Each time, the winger took the time, with a big smile, to greet his fans. “He is a very humble person. Not an ounce of arrogance or pretension. This allows him to easily connect with the fans.”
He did not ask the Mexican coach’s opinion
Huerta has a great relationship not only with his fans, but also with his family. “He considers his family an essential part of his life. You know, his mother was the only person Huerta asked if it was wise to accept the Anderlecht offer. He didn’t even asked Javier Aguirre (Mexico coach, editor’s note).”
