The club manager has been critical of El Tri but said the midfielder made him rethink his initial concerns about having a Mexican as captain
Porto manager Sergio Conceicao praised Hector Herrera after his goal in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Benfica, saying the midfielder has made him overcome initial concerns about having a Mexican as captain.
Conceicao has been a critic of the Mexico national team setup, clashing with El Tri over how his trio of Herrera, Jesus Corona and Diego Reyes are treated when injured. He also expressed frustration with the training plans El Tri coach Juan Carlos Osorio sent to his players ahead of the World Cup, calling it "absolutely ridiculous" for a national team to instruct a club's players how to train.
