Mexican striker Hernandez joins Leverkusen
Leverkusen: Mexican striker Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez has completed his move for three seasons from Engish football giants Manchester United to German side Bayer Leverkusen.
Hernandez said he has played in the English Premier League and La Liga, two of the three major European leagues, and now wants to play in the Bundesliga, adding that a club like Leverkusen is a great opportunity for him, Efe reported on Monday.
He scored nine goals last season with Real Madrid in 33 games and scored 59 times for United in 157 games.
The striker has managed to score 40 goals in 74 games with the Mexican national team and will wear the No. 7 jersey with the German club, in which he will play until June 30, 2018.
“With Chicharito, we have more possible variations. I am delighted that he has chosen to join Bayer Leverkusen. The Bundesliga can look forward to seeing a great player,” the German club’s sporting director, Rudi Voller said, while United wished him “the very best of luck for the future”.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
