César "Chino" Huerta went from being just another player in Chivas to shining in Mazatlán and finally standing out in Pumas. His recent feat of scoring a goal in his first official match with Anderlecht in Europe has been praised, being compared to other Mexican footballers who achieved the same in the past.
The 24-year-old Mexican forward joined an exclusive list of compatriots who managed to score on their debut in the old continent, such as Luis García, Antonio de Nigris, Javier "Chicharito" Hernández, Alan Pulido, Hirving Lozano, and Johan Vásquez.
Chino Huerta had a dream start in European football by coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute and scoring in the 92nd minute with a shot following a cross from his teammate Nilson Angulo. His performance generated praise and applause both in Belgium and among the Mexican fans.
After his time with Pumas and being rejected by Chivas in the past, Huerta has shown a strong mindset and persistence by turning down million-dollar offers in Mexico to fulfill his European dream. His determination has been highlighted by followers and analysts, making him a role model.
