When splashing the cash on a Designated Player, you're looking for an impact player in return. That type of exposure can only be good for the team he plays for. These are the types of players that make highlight reels on a regular basis. His 1v1 skills on the wing will entertain the crowd and leave them "Ooh'ing" and "Ahh'ing". His dynamic abilities on the ball leave anyone who watches him blown away. He's the type of player that's worth the price of admission for the casual fan, not just a face for a particular demographic to rally behind. ProsĪside from the obvious boost in interest from the Latin-American market, signing Jesus Corona is great business because he's an exciting soccer player. Sure, Chicharito is putting up great numbers in Germany and will soon break the national team's all-time scoring record, but Tecatito is their golden boy.Īt 23 years of age, Tecatito is just now approaching his prime years and is destined to become one of the best Mexican players ever if he lives up to his massive potential. ![]() While he may not be a household name in the United States, he's probably the brightest young Mexican talent in the entire world currently. Jesus "Tecatito" Corona firmly falls into the latter category. Some of our Gold Rush candidates are easily attainable and a few have been a little far-fetched. It only makes sense for Atlanta United to try and bring in a name recognizable to the Mexico National Team fan base. Even when the USA and Mexico played in the Georgia Dome on the same day last year in the Gold Cup it was Green, Red, and White dominating the stands. Atlanta is a huge market and any time the Mexico national team visits the capital they draw record numbers. There's a perfectly logical (and probably obvious) reason for this. If you've been paying attention to our Gold Rush series, you can probably tell it's been heavy on the Mexican international side. ![]() Jesús "Tecatito" Corona Club: FC Porto Nation: Mexico Age: 23 Position: Winger/Forward
