Both players, who developed in the youth ranks of Guadalajara, have followed a similar path in their professional journeys, debuting in the first team before moving to the old continent.

The footballer emphasized that they have shared important moments in their careers, both together and separately, which has strengthened their friendship.
Chávez recalled that they have crossed paths at different stages, including their debuts in professional football. “The curiosities of life: we have experienced moments together or apart, but similar. Our debut. Well, we have been in our process together,” he indicated. He also praised La Hormiga González’s efforts to achieve his goals and mentioned that he learns from his experience in the sport. “I am very glad that he is doing well. I know how hard he has worked to be where he is, to achieve his goals as well. I learn a lot from Hormiga,” he added.
The connection between both footballers has created a memorable experience in their respective careers. “Life has surprised us with those joint debuts, things like that. I don’t know, it’s nice,” he concluded. Currently, both Chávez and González are being considered by Rafael Márquez to join the Mexican National Team for their first FIFA date after participating in the 2026 World Cup, where both will seek to establish themselves in the team.
