Armando González. (The Ant)

Work ethic: Coming from a family of footballers (his father already knows what the pressure of playing for Chivas is like), he grew up understanding that talent is nothing without daily effort. In interviews, he comes across as mature, focused, and always giving credit to the team before his individual achievements.

Hunger for victory: He has a very competitive but quiet mindset; he doesn't go looking for controversy on social media or making extravagant statements. His language is hard work at Verde Valle.

Overflowing passion: When he scores, all shyness disappears. He celebrates with a rage and euphoria that show how much he feels for the team; it's clear he's just another fan who fulfilled his dream of playing for his beloved team.

Pressure level (Suffocating): They play at a thousand revolutions per minute when Chivas doesn't have the ball. Their pressure on opposing center backs is relentless; they chase down every ball as if it were the last, forcing the opponent to either skip lines or make mistakes in their build-up play.

Explosive changes of pace: His game is anything but flat. He knows how to float on the offside line and, in fractions of a second, unleash a change of pace (a short burst) to get behind the defenders. He is extremely fast over short distances (5 to 10 meters).

One-touch rhythm: In the opponent's box, he doesn't like to slow the game down or dawdle. His finishing is quick, fluid, and direct. If he has half a meter of space, he'll take a first-time shot. This makes Chivas' attacking plays much more fluid and direct when he's on the pitch.

Features: She has rather youthful and sharp features. Her facial structure is slightly elongated, with a well-defined jaw.

Eyebrows and Eyes: Her eyebrows are dark and thick, framed by a deep, focused gaze when she plays.

Hair: He has a modern classic cut, dark brown. He usually wears it with volume on top and a bit shorter on the sides; during matches it tends to look somewhat disheveled due to the intensity of his running.

General structure: He has an ectomorphic-mesomorphic build (naturally slender but with good muscle mass developed through sports). He is approximately 1.80 meters tall, an excellent height for winning aerial duels.

Torso and Back: His torso is slender and toned, with well-proportioned shoulders. He's not a powerful or massive player, but rather streamlined, which gives him a huge advantage in speed and acceleration in short spaces.

Arms and Hands: His arms are long and well-defined, without excessive bulk. When celebrating goals or challenging plays, his proportionately sized hands are visible, with firm fingers and very active gestures on the field.

Lower Extremities (Legs) As a forward, his legs are his greatest asset. They are long and muscular, with very pronounced muscle development in his quadriceps and calves. This physique allows him to take powerful strides and maintain a center of gravity agile enough to turn quickly inside the penalty area.

"La Hormiga" didn't make it to the first team by a stroke of luck; he earned his place by knocking on the door with his goals. His definitive breakthrough came in the 2023 Apertura tournament with the U-23 team. That season, he became the league's top scorer with 13 goals in the regular season. He didn't stop there: in the playoffs, he added another 5 goals (including one in the final against Tigres), leading Chivas to the league title. In total, combining his time with the U-18 and U-20 teams, he scored more than 50 goals in Chivas' youth system.

After tearing it up in the youth ranks, then-manager Fernando Gago promoted him to the first team. His official debut in the top flight came on January 13, 2024, in Matchday 1 of the Clausura tournament, coming on as a substitute in the final minutes of a game against Santos Laguna. From then on, he gradually accumulated playing time, supported by the experience of forwards like Ricardo Marín and Javier "Chicharito" Hernández.
