The 21-year-old is preparing for his first season in European football after securing a loan move to Getafe
Getafe star Jose Juan Macias suggested that football in his home country of Mexico might not be as strong as locals believe, while claiming many of his compatriots are not prepared to try their luck in the European game.
Macias is a new arrival in La Liga, having joined Getafe on loan from Chivas this summer.
But he has some explosive opinions to offer about the Liga MX and countrymen as he addressed the relatively small number of Mexican stars who choose to play their football away from home, affirming that there are several factors that stop them travelling across the Atlantic Ocean.
