The new Carlos Peña, he was a star for El Tri, AC Milan wanted him, now he prefers to party

Mexican soccer players often have a natural and indisputable talent, but they fail to exploit it due to their various acts of indiscipline or a mentality that is far removed from the sporting aspect. There are many successful cases that end up triumphing in important teams. However, there are others who remain with the role of promise and never take that step.

The partying and excesses will always be a conditioning factor for any athlete. There are footballers who cannot resist such temptations and end up giving in, putting their careers and futures at risk by being caught and worsening their rhythm. Such is the case of Carlos Gullit Peña, who had an undeniable talent, but his vices ruined his career. 

Like Gullit, there is another Mexican player who was even on AC Milan's radar, but he was unable to take that step forward with all the quality in the world. In Italy, the Rossoneri team asked for him many times, however, things did not work out and now he is a party player and is relegated to the bench in Liga MX.

Which player could have played for AC Milan?

It is the midfielder Rodolfo Pizarro, who was a recurrent member of the Mexican national team and who played for Chivas de Guadalajara. His arrival in MLS was not entirely pleasant and now he is fighting for a place in Rayados de Monterrey. Things have not turned out as he expected.
