Chivas will try to win a fourth game in a row to extend their current streak in the Bicentenario 2010 when they visit Queretaro on Friday at the Corregidora. For the current goal scoring leader of the Mexican league Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez admits that keeping the streak going will be difficult. 

Currently, Hernandez is on top of the table both with Chivas and goal scoring terms. Host team Queretaro is close to Chivas as second place on the general table as well as second place as a fellow member of group one. For ‘Chicharito’ the important thing will be to take away three points from the game and not necessarily continue his scoring streak. 

“We’ve worked hard during the week, which we’ll try to show during the game. I think that the important thing is to look for points for the team without caring about who scores the goals. I’m motivated and happy about participating with the team, and I do get confidence in getting to start and help the team. I hope we win, but getting out of that stadium with three points is complicated,” said Hernandez. 

With his goal scoring abilities grabbing headlines the strikers says that things remain the same at the club among players and that they all continue to add equal shares to the team. 


“There’s no figures here, there’s nothing. We’re fine, we all feel the same and we’re on the same level like always. We all put in our contributions.” 

Extra motivation for ‘Chicharito’ also arrives after learning that he is under observation for the Mexican National team friendly against Bolivia on February 24. 

“Truthfully, I feel very happy and motivated. The simple things having to do with being a professional footballer motivate me to come to work and those great things motivate you three times as much. But I always come with the idea to learn and grow.”

Alberto Aguilar, member of Javier Aguirre’s technical team, was present in several of Chivas’ practices during the week alerting players that they would be watched. 

“We said hi. He knows my father and said that he would be observing all Mexican players. I want to go about this matter carefully. But I want to go step by step because he said all of us had great possibilities.”
