The unexpected moment Armando González lived ahead of Chivas vs Cruz Azul | OneFootball

Guadalajara continues its intense preparation for the start of the 2025 Apertura playoffs, so Monday's training session was full of good energy and a lot of tactical work. In addition, another point that has distinguished the Rebaño Sagrado throughout the tournament is the great atmosphere that exists within the squad, something that will be fundamental for the crucial moments.

At the end of Monday's practice, Amaury Vergara, president of Club Deportivo Guadalajara, surprised "Hormiga" González with a tremendous gesture to recognize his extraordinary work in the tournament, which led him to become the top scorer with 12 goals.

With the entire squad gathered in the middle of the field, Amaury Vergara encouraged the team to continue working with the same intensity with which they closed the regular season. He then took out a box containing a mini sculpture of Rin Itoshi, a character from the anime Blue Lock who also plays as a striker. Armando's fondness for the series is well known, so the gift was very special to him.

After receiving this gift, González gave a very emotional speech to his teammates, thanking them for their footballing and emotional support in helping him win the scoring championship. At the end of this moment, the players, coaching staff, and management gathered for a photo that rounded off the atmosphere of camaraderie and intense work that exists in the Rebaño Sagrado ahead of the start of the AP25 playoffs.
