Ángel Reyna says Pumas are ‘his sons’ | OneFootball

Ángel Reyna was always a very controversial player, a situation that meant he could never truly establish himself at a club because he was constantly having problems with teammates or the board.

Without going too far back, we can remember the time he called someone a ‘water captain and a plastic defense,’ a situation that at the time everyone assumed was an attack on Aquivaldo Mosquera, but years later, ‘Pleititos,’ as he was nicknamed, said it was actually aimed at Alfredo Tena, who was the head coach at the time.

But if there’s one thing we can’t deny about him, it’s that he had great quality. He was one of those players who stood out a lot for his individual performances, and he even managed to win the league’s golden boot with Club América.

In an interview on a podcast, Ángel was asked which was the most ‘cold-chested team in Mexico,’ and without thinking twice he mentioned Pumas.

“Pumas are my sons, because that’s where I was crowned top scorer, in their stadium, with their fans there, and singing their anthem,” were his first remarks about Las Águilas’ rival.

And according to his words, they are a ‘cold team’ because their supporters’ group spends its time fighting with rival fans instead of demanding more from their own club, which in his view plays in a very boring and overly defensive way.

Without a doubt, these are words that Pumas fans will not like, but they do contain a lot of truth.
