'Chicharito': Mexico in good hands under 'Tata'

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez netted his 52nd international goal on his return to the Mexican national team in El Tri's 3-0 victory over the United States and believes the team is on a positive path under Gerardo "Tata" Martino.

"There's a really good mix of youngsters, a lot of experience and some in their first cycle," Hernandez told TUDN after the game. "I think a really good national team is being developed ... like I've always said we have to be positive and optimistic."

The victory extended Martino's undefeated start as Mexico coach to 12 games and the Argentine was also content with what he saw, particularly in the way the players have taken on board his playing style.
