Javier Hernánde

Chicharito is my kind of striker, the sort who wins with instinct rather than physique. At 175 cm he was never the biggest man in the box, yet his uncanny sense of timing and ice-cold finishing took him across the world's biggest stages. I love watching forwards who think faster than their markers, and he is a textbook example of intelligence beating size. As a Mexican icon he also carried enormous expectation without flinching. To me he is living proof that a smaller player with sharp instincts and real nerve can compete with anyone, anywhere.
