My Take
Héctor Herrera is the kind of midfielder I respect more the longer you watch him. Born in Tijuana in 1990, he built a serious career path that says a lot about his ambition, breaking through at Pachuca, then earning a move to Porto in Portugal before later landing in Major League Soccer with Houston Dynamo. That kind of trajectory, from Mexican football to a top European league and back across the Atlantic, isn't easy to sustain. At 180 cm he's not imposing physically, so I'd guess his value has always come from intelligence and control in the middle of the park rather than raw athleticism.
