He was called to be Mexico National Team’s next number 10 but decided to throw away his career instead

Not only he is a very talented player, but when he started his career, he showed that he could become the successor of strikers like Hugo Sánchez, Luis García or Jared Borgetti, although he also knows how to distribute the ball to help his teammates score if they have a better option.

But his lack of perseverance, added to the problems outside of the pitch and the few opportunities he had with El Tri, cut short his career with Mexico National Team, as he’s played just a few games after the 2014 World Cup.

Reports suggest that Luis “Chapo” Montes was better than Giovani dos Santos and Carlos “Gullit” Peña, but he shared one similarity with the two Mexican former El Tri players: his taste for parties and the nightlife.

Why couldn’t he become a regular for El Tri?

Montes couldn’t play the 2014 FIFA World Cup given that he was injured on a friendly match against Ecuador prior the start of the tournament. But “Chapo” was never able to overcome the injury and lost much of his potential, and with it, a lot of opportunities.
