Here are the Champions who have yet to debut in first division and who havent been able to consolidate themselves with their teams, i guess theyre the forgotten ones
A la espera de la oportunidad...

Sergio Javier Arias
Nativo de Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Sergio Arias fue el portero titular de este grupo y su paso ha sido muy lento rumbo a la Primera División. Ha jugado desde el 2005 con el Tapatío, Dorados de Sinaloa, ambos de Primera A, y esta campaña lo hace con Chivas Rayadas de Segunda División.

Pedro Valverde
Valverde no ha podido dar el salto a la Primera División con el Cruz Azul, pese a que a su regreso de tierra sudamericana, al igual que Villaluz y Andrade, fue ascendido al primer equipo. Sin embargo, muy pronto regresó a los equipos menores de La Máquina. Ha jugado desde entonces con el Tampico Madero, de Primera A, y con los celestes de Primera A, Cruz Azul Hidalgo, y con los de Segunda, Cruz Azul Jasso, donde actualmente milita.

Christian Flores
Christian es otro de los porteros del grupo. En aquellos días era parte del Atlas, pero debió emigrar a Tecos, donde estuvo en los equipos de Segunda y Tercera División de los universitarios. En la actualidad juega en los Guerreros de Hermosillo, de la Primera A.

Mario Gallegos
Otro jugador del Atlas que no ha alcanzado la Primera División es Mario Gallegos. Ha militado en los últimos años en Tiburones Rojos de Córdoba, de la Segunda División, en los Loros de la Universidad de Colima, también de Segunda, y en las distintas categorías de los Rojinegros. En el presente torneo ha visto acción en el equipo Sub 20 de los tapatíos.

Heriberto Beltrán
Beltrán es el único jugador que no está registrado en ningún equipo para el Apertura 2009. Militó en el Pachuca y jugó en la Universidad del Futbol de Segunda División, también de los Tuzos. El último año militó en Tiburones Rojos de Coatzacoalcos, de Primera A, y con los Albinegros de Orizaba, de la misma categoría.

José de Jesús Reyes
El caso de José Reyes es especial. Viajó a Perú con todo el equipo, pero estando allá se le dijo que necesitaban un portero más y que no sería registrado. Se le dio la opción de quedarse con el conjunto durante el evento y ahí estuvo como un integrante más de los campeones. Ha jugado en el Cihuatlán, de Segunda División, y desde hace un par de años participa con los Loros de la Universidad de Colima, también de Segunda.


Here is a great article on the players and how they've done

Tomorrow i will post updates on the players on where theyre playing now and their accomplishments

[NCCFBALL]

I still have hope that Ever Guzman an recover and have a brilliant career. I thought he was the best natural goal scorer that was on that team. I thought he would end up in Europe and be a top notch scorer. He's still young and has a chance if he can make it back up to Primera.

same here

i really hope this guy gets more chances

in the last year or two, the few chances he's gotten in Morelia he has scored some goals

but there is no consistency with the coaches

the one who used him a lot was Dario Franco, go figure a foreigner coach has given him more chances than the Mexican coaches Morelia has had

[thedude79bc]

I have high hopes for Pato Araujo. Your not named a Captain for nothing. He obviously showed some leadership back than, maybe he's a late bloomer? If anything, La Verde needs some one who can be a leader on the field for the future. I just don't see Guardado being that leader. All of these guys are still young too, They weren't all the best players we had, we have to remember that some of these guys were, and still are nothing more than just role players. Edgar Andadre is another guy I want to see shine. He has hight and speed, if only he could combine those with skills and consistency.

[Phenom]

How the hell can he be a late bloomer if he's had his best moments as a youngster? I still think he'll end up a key piece of the MNT in the future, though. I think he does a lot of things better than Torrado already. Just needs more refining.

[Rebaño_Sagrado]

Pato has had to learn a new position. Originally he was a CB but has been playing dmid for Chivas these last few years. Also, due to the youth team callups he lost his spot on teh starting eleven to Chore Mejia a few times.

Sergio Arias last I remember reading he had the wrong attitude and wrong work habits. Same thing with Ever Guzman but looks like he straightened himself out. I disagree he is a natural scorer. If anything he seemed to have a never die personality which is what surprised me when he was initially disciplined by Morelia.

[TallTowerMan]

Ever Guzman. What an enigma. Talent? No question. It's all the head.......

[Rebaño_Sagrado]

What I meant about Ever is he seemed to me more of a garra type than a flashy type.

[Q.Q.]

Ever Guzman has all the talent he needs to be a top player, but he is very tactically indisciplined. His attitude reminds me a bit of Bofo, I think Morelia would have had more patience with him had Elias Hernandez not shown up.

[...In my defense]

Enrique Esqueda was part of the U17 WC Champs, no?

I saw a video of him holding the trophy in Peru.
