“You think that everything will go as you imagine it. There are potholes in the road and perhaps some have more opportunities than others. There I could have had few or many opportunities, but here I have this opportunity and I am taking advantage of it well, because I have confidence, minutes and goals. Maybe it would have happened in Mexico, maybe not. I keep looking to grow and seek greater goals, “said the footballer.
The ‘Wero’ Díaz does not hide his smile when talking about his present in Canada, in which he adds ten goals, between league and cup, and ranks as sub-leader in scoring.

We now compete in the Canada Cup, where we compete against Canadian teams that play in MLS. and in the semifinals we go against Toronto fc. We beat Vancouver Whitecaps. Because he is only a few years old, he does not talk much, others will see him down, but with three years he is growing a lot and is growing faster than at the beginning of MLS “, declared Alejandro Díaz
Due to the goals he has achieved and the constant participation he has, some colleagues have asked him about this tournament and the possibility of being part of its ranks, so that the Mexican soccer player could stop looking for opportunities in Central America, South America or the MLS itself and embark on an adventure further to the North of the continent.
