TThere is no doubt that Javier Hernández Balcazar’s second attempt with his beloved Chivas was a failure. The fans were excited when he arrived to play in the Clausura 2024 and was welcomed by a packed Estadio Akron, but he could not be the Chicharito of the previous year as he arrived injured.
Chicharito didn’t have a good time due to injuries and perhaps a lack of interest in putting in the extra effort. He only scored three goals in two years in Liga MX. And just when his two-year contract ended, the club automatically decided to release one of its historic players.

Chicharito reappears on social media
After being asked by several fans if he had already retired or if he intended to play professionally again, the Mexican national team’s leading scorer reappeared on social media and replied:
In a post on his Instagram account (CH14_), Hernandez said: “Why are they asking this question so much? Do they miss me? Do they want me to keep playing? … Guys, I’m not retired yet. I’ll give you the news soon.”
Javier Hernandez also remembered sea bass.
Another question Javier Hernandez was asked was whether he missed his Chivas team-mates, to which he ultimately answered yes. Although he did not achieve the goals he had set, Javier Hernández had a very good relationship with his teammates at Lebao Sagrado, especially with Hormiga González, who is currently the top scorer of the Guadalajara team.
The relationship between Hernandez Balcázar and Hormiga was very close and became clear during their years together at Chivas.
