Andrés Guardado is a name and a face many might know for his existence in European football over the last few years. The Mexican midfielder currently plays for La Liga side Real Betis as of 2017 after a move from Dutch football club PSV Eindhoven.
Guardado has also had spells across Europe including Bayern Leverkusen in Germany and back in Spain representing Valencia between 2012 and 2015. When Mexico defeated the world champions Germany in the first round of the group stages, much was praised towards Guardado’s midfield ethic.
Especially when it came to their counter-attacks tactic that caught Germany off guard and got them one of the biggest victories in Mexican football history. Guardado has had many compliments for his football over the years but has always missed out on a big contract.
The 31-year-old may only have a few years left of his footballing career but the experience is on his side and would certainly make a great asset to any big team.
