Nery Castillo shows off historic Mexico jersey: 'With the greatest in Mexico'

Nery Castillo, a former Mexican national team player fondly remembered for his time in Greek football, expressed his enthusiasm for Armando González's transfer to Olympiacos. González, a former Chivas player, joins the Greek club where Castillo experienced some of the best moments of his career.

Castillo celebrated the transfer, emphasizing that the Greek league offers a competitive environment and a significant opportunity for González's development in European football. He believes Olympiacos is an ideal institution for the young striker to continue growing.

Adding to the nostalgia, Castillo recently shared a photo on Instagram wearing a Mexican national team jersey, specifically one bearing Hugo Sánchez's iconic number. He captioned the image, "With the greatest in Mexico @hugosanchez_9," sparking fond memories among fans of the Tricolor. Castillo considers Sánchez the greatest footballer in Mexico's history.

Their bond was notably strengthened during the 2007 Copa América, where Castillo was a standout player for Mexico. Later, Sánchez brought him to Pachuca, though that club stint did not replicate the success they shared with the national team. Despite the years, Castillo maintains his pride in that generation of the national team and his deep respect for Sánchez's influence on his career.
