Chicharito has company: Vela finding form in Spain

Chicharito was in red-hot form when he got injured, but he now has company with forgotten man Carlos Vela reminding fans why they wanted him for El Tri.

There was a name on every Mexico fan's lips in the buildup to the 2014 World Cup: Carlos Vela.

The El Tri faithful hoovered up every bit of news about the Real Sociedad forward, the one whose World Cup in 2010 was hampered by injury. Soon after that tournament, he had a falling out with, well, pretty much anybody who had anything to do with the national team.
