Return of the prodigal son
"Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found". – (Vergara 15:32, CHV)
After a failed stint with Spanish outfit Deportivo La Coruna Bravo has returned to Chivas de Guadalajara. It was a though year for both Chivas and Bravo. While the speedy striker warmed the bench Chivas missed out on both the Apertura 08 and Clausura 09 league playoffs.
Many fans fear that Bravo's return will affect the rise of upstarts: Chicharo Hernandez and Omar Arellano. While both players have the potential to be good they have yet to match Bravos consistancy. Chivas afterall is not a feeder club but one of the top Mexican clubs.
Chivas needs Bravo as much as the striker needs the club. Hopefuly, with Bravo back on the field Chivas can once again qualify for the league playoffs and boost a strong attack when they make a run for Copa Libertadores glory. As for Hernandez and Arellano; the cream always rises to the top.
