Alonso Hernandez at Alebrijes de Oaxaca

CAP HIM NOW!

 

I really hope that rating is wrong.

 

he isn't a forward he's center midfielder

 

He got some playing time recently?

 

Yes

The last game in which he played a lot of minutes he also "almost made an immediate impact" within the first few minutes, with a close shot. Kid has spunk.

 

I doubt Mexico will ignore a 19 yr old player who is getting first team minutes with Monterrey

 

He's good enough to play for Mexico's u20s.. Wouldn't be surprised to see Almaguer give him a look. Which would suck for the US since he said he'd play with whoever called him up first. Ramos best have his # on speed dial and hit em up for the Toulon tourney.

 

Somebody please call this guy and tell him that the US is interested in him.

 

Madrigal, Gerardo Moreno and Corona got more minutes playing in the same team.

 

And Morales plays for Chivas USA. Whats your point?

 

^^ Most of the guys he's competing with for a spot in Mexico's U-20 play in his same club and are getting more minutes than him...

 

Alonso only got 72 minutes this season, his direct competition in the U20 national team would be:
Corona (monterrey) - 382 min
Madrigal (monterrey) - 242 min
Carlos Fierro (chivas) - 140 min
Erick Torres (chivas) - 142 min
Marco Bueno (pachuca) - 153 min
Rodolfo Pizarro (pachuca) - 209 min
Alberto Garcia (atlante) - 357 min
Mario Cardenas (santos) - 408 min

and this are just the forwards that have some minutes in the first division, you also could add the two U20 league top scorers
Roberto Ramirez (pumas) - 17 goals - 83 ratio
Martin Zuñiga (america) - 15 goals - 83 ratio
meanwhile Alonso has a ratio of 126 and only 7 goals in the U20 league

 

He played the last 5+ minutes of Monterrey's 1-1 draw (2-1 agg win) against Tigres today.

 

He was called up to the U20 tourney in Toulon. Looks like the USSF did their due diligence behind our backs.

 

Or they had no clue until the press started bothering Tab about it...

 

Good for him, hope he shows well.

 

Thank you Klinsmann and Ramos.

 

American Exports: Monterrey's Alonso Hernandez focused on making US U-20 World Cup roster

Here's a new in-depth interview with Alonso

From Out of the Blue, A Call to Represent the U.S.

 

I liked this quote:

“I always wanted to play for the US national ever since I was little,” Hernandez said. “In the 2002 World Cup, I was cheering for the U.S. team against Mexico. I even had a poster then of the U.S. team with all their players.”

 

Now that is welcome noise. El Pado, Texas! Desmond Armstrong peers at me now from my 1991 team poster. Hey there's Dom Kinnear!

 

He discusses his club history at 0:44-

 

Alonso Hernandez is on the bench for Monterrey's 2013 Apertura opener which starts at 6 eastern on Univision Deportes.

Alonso played the last 15 minutes for Monterrey as they clawed out a 1-1 draw vs. Puebla thanks to a 94th minute strike from Dorlan Pabon.
