The new man Hernández
Sunday, 29 July 07, 10:34 PM · Comments(0)
Carlos Hernandez is the attacking midfielder new to the Melbourne Victory this season. It's hard to believe Melbourne could sign a player who is in the prime years of his career and made two appearances at the 2006 World Cup with Costa Rica but then again, it's hard to believe he would sit in the Costa Rican league until now.
Here's a link to his long-range goal in a pre-season match against Perth Glory at the weekend, the game was in Darwin.

If he's fit and firing I can't see him avoiding exposure to europe or the MLS/Mexican league. Like all Victory fans here's hoping he is honourable to his two year contract.
Full name: Carlos Hernández Valverde
Born: April 9, 1982 in La Pastora, Costa Rica
Former clubs: Liga Deportiva Alajuelense (Costa Rica)
Nickname: "Zorro" or "el Zorro"
