Goalkeeper José Antonio Rodríguez laments the absence of Hirving Lozano in the Leagues Cup, a matchup that would have been a great spectacle for fans. Rodríguez, who has played with Lozano in the Mexican national team, considers him an exceptional player with great talent and quality. 'With [Lozano], I had the opportunity to play alongside him in the national team, so I know him well. He is a tremendous player, with great talent and quality. Of course, for the fans, it would have been a dream to see,' Rodríguez said in a press conference on Saturday. 'A player who gave so many people hope, face this new star who is emerging in [Mora]. It would have been a match between the past and the present, or the present and the future. But, well, it didn't happen that way.' Rodríguez also spoke about Lozano's fresh start in San Diego FC, where he has found a place where he can be himself. 'At the end of the day, I'm happy that 'Chucky' has an opportunity to play and that a place has been found for him. Because at the end of the day, the most important thing for soccer players is to be on the field,' Rodríguez stated. 'I'm happy that his situation has been resolved, and I wish him the greatest success because I know he will do very well. It would have been nice to have that matchup. The fans would have loved it, but it didn't happen.'
