On the road to the next tournament the most recent transfer for Liga MX 2022, the arrival of Sebastian Cordova to Tigres was made official, but America fans ripped the player to shreds on social networks

The player reported early today with his new club, with which he says he is eager to become a champion. He even sent a few words to Tigres' coach, Miguel Herrera, with whom he was at America. 

"Nice, happy to come with Miguel Herrera, the club is fantastic, the fans and I'm happy," he mentioned.

The player leaves America after in the Apertura 2021 tournament the team was knocked out of the Liguilla by Pumas UNAM in a match from which rumors of the Mexican attacking midfielder's departure began. 

In that humiliating defeat, Córdova was practically invisible and his team was eliminated from the tournament with a score of 3-1. 

Sebastian Cordova reported to Tigres early in the morning

The player arrived at his new club's facilities and, in response to questions from the press, made a statement: 

"Very nice, to work hard and we hope it will be a quick adaptation tournament and that we will be looking for a championship in a hurry", said Córdova at the Monterrey Airport.

The player also said he was excited to join the Nuevo León team to play in the Clausura 2022, together with coach Miguel Herrera. 

Cordova arrived at the Monterrey airport wearing a Tigres cap and mask, and now, all that remains is for him to pass his medical exams before being officially announced as the institution's new player.

"I feel happy, it's something I'm very clear to take out. I am happy with all the fans, one of the best, if not the best, and I want to give my best for the fans," he stated.

Club America fans ripped Sebastian Cordova to shreds on social networks

Those who are not at all happy with the departure of the America youth player are the club's fans, who have not been shy to reproach the player for his performance in the last tournament. 

The main complaint to the player was that he "outgrew the number 10", the mythical jersey worn by the greatest players in the history of the Coapa club. 

And it is not uncommon for the top scorer of every Liga MX tournament to be from Club América

The problem is that Cordova scored those 16 goals in 99 appearances for the club.

Cordova had to wear the number 10 last season, a number that demands not only quality play and a convincing number of goals, but also leadership and, above all, the love of the fans. 

Cordova had to withstand the demands of the America fans to reach the level of true monsters such as Luis García, Cuauhtémoc Blanco, or Salvador Cabañas

In the 1998 tournament alone, Cuauhtémoc Blanco scored 16 goals, one more than Cordova. The problem for the now Tigres player is that "Cuau" scored those goals in just one season. .

In addition, Blanco is the second-best goal scorer in the history of the Águilas with 125 goals in his 400 official Liga MX matches

Among the main complaints against Cordova, the fans called him a "cold chest", told him that he "outgrew the 10" and many more wished that the player "would never return" to the club
