Héctor Herrera doesn’t run when playing for El Tri, but he doesn’t seem to care

But Gerardo “Tata” Martino sticked to the players he is used to, not caring about their performances, like Julio César “Cata” Domínguez that looked out of sync with the other defenders, or Héctor Herrera who never tried to recover a ball.

Although Johan Vásquez doesn’t play in a top team, he’s one of the most regular players for Genoa CFC and has helped the Rossoblu to rescue points on matches that seemed lost. According to Statiskicks, he’s on the top 5 of defenders in Europe, but Martino completely erased him from El Tri.

Johan Vásquez’s numbers with Genoa

Currently, Genoa is on the relegation zone, as they’ve only managed to win one game this season, which don’t show the reality of the team, as they’ve tied 10 matches. Vásquez joined the Rossoblu for this season on a loan, but after 6 months, they decided to acquire him for $4 million. So far, he’s played 15 games and has scored one goal.
