Javier Hernández Balcázar (pronounced as /es/; born 1 June 1988), commonly known by the nickname Chicharito (pronounced as /es/, Mexican Spanish: little pea), is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a striker for Liga MX club Guadalajara. He is known for his clinical finishing along with his pace and technical ability and is widely considered to be amongst the greatest Mexican players of all time.[4]

Hernández began his senior club career at age 18 in 2006, playing for Guadalajara, where he won the Primera División. In 2010, Hernández signed for Manchester United, becoming the club's first Mexican player. During his five years with United, he amassed over 150 appearances and scored 59 goals, winning two Premier League titles, the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year in first season and reached the 2011 UEFA Champions League Final, as well as setting the then record for the fifth-best minutes-per-goal ratio (130.2) in league history.[5] Hernández departed the club on loan to Real Madrid in 2014, winning the FIFA Club World Cup, and in 2015 he joined Bayer Leverkusen on a permanent deal. Two years later, Hernández returned to England and signed for West Ham United. In 2019, he signed for Sevilla before joining LA Galaxy the following year. In 2024, Hernández rejoined his boyhood club Guadalajara.[6]

A Mexican international, Hernández is the country's all-time leading goalscorer. He made his debut for the national team in September 2009 in a friendly match against Colombia. He has represented Mexico at the 2010, 2014, and 2018 FIFA World Cups, the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the 2013 and 2017 FIFA Confederations Cups, and the Copa América Centenario. He was the 2011 Gold Cup's top scorer with seven goals and was named the most valuable player of the tournament.

Early life

Hernández was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco and first played in a recreation league when he was seven years old. Hernández lived in Morelia, Michoacán for over four years while his father, footballer Javier "Chícharo" Hernández, played for Monarcas Morelia.[7] While living in Morelia, Hernández attended elementary school at the Instituto Piaget where he studied from third to sixth grade and played for the school's football team.[7]

At the age of nine, Hernández joined C.D. Guadalajara and signed his first professional contract when he was 15.[8] He was set to play in the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship, but an injury sidelined him from the team that ultimately won the championship.[9] Whilst playing football professionally, Hernández was also taking business administration classes at Universidad del Valle de Atemajac. Hernández has held both Hugo Sánchez and Rafael Márquez as his football idols growing up.[10] [11]

Club career

C.D. Guadalajara

Hernández began playing with C.D. Guadalajara's lower-division team, Chivas Coras in Tepic, Nayarit in the 2005–06 season. On 9 September 2006, he made his debut for Guadalajara in that year's Apertura in a win over Club Necaxa at Estadio Jalisco.[12] With the score at 3–0, under manager José Manuel de la Torre, Hernández came on as a substitute for Omar Bravo in the 82nd minute, before scoring the fourth goal of the game five minutes later. It was his only goal in five appearances in 2006 as Guadalajara went on to win the league title.[13] He made two appearances in the 2007 Clausura with no goals. He made a further six appearances in 200708 without scoring.[14]

Manchester United

Transfer

Manchester United were first made aware of Hernández in October 2009; a scout went to Mexico that December and reported positively after watching a few games. Because of Hernández's age, the club originally planned to wait before making a move to sign him, but his potential involvement with the national team at the World Cup rushed the club into making a bid. United's chief scout, Jim Lawlor, was sent to Mexico for three weeks in February and March to watch Hernández and filed another positive report on him, before the club solicitor went over to Mexico to finalise the paperwork.[20]

On 8 April 2010, Hernández agreed a deal to sign for Manchester United for an undisclosed fee, subject to a work permit application.[21] The previous day, Hernández had been present at Manchester United's Champions League quarter-final win over Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.[22] The deal was conducted in complete secrecy; Hernández's agent was kept in the dark, as was his grandfather Tomás Balcázar, who thought Hernández was going on a trip to Atlanta in the United States.[23] [24] As part of the deal, United played a friendly against C.D. Guadalajara to open the Mexican club's new stadium on 30 July.[25] On 27 May, the work permit was granted, allowing the transfer to be made official on 1 July.[26]

2010–11: Premier League title and European final

Hernández made his United debut on 28 July, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute for Nani in the 2010 MLS All-Star Game at the NRG Stadium, Houston; he scored his first goal for the club 18 minutes later, lobbing the ball over Nick Rimando from just outside the area after a long through-ball from Darren Fletcher.[27] Two days later, Hernández scored against Manchester United while playing in a friendly for his former club, C.D. Guadalajara, scoring the inaugural goal at their recently constructed stadium;[28] he started the game in a Chivas jersey and scored the first goal after just eight minutes. He switched sides at half-time, but he was unable to prevent a 3–2 defeat for Manchester United.[29] He scored for the third pre-season game in a row as he netted in a 7–1 victory over a League of Ireland XI at the newly built Aviva Stadium on 4 August.[30]

Hernández made his competitive debut on 8 August and scored his first goal in the process, netting United's second of a 3–1 victory over Chelsea in the 2010 FA Community Shield. He came on at the start of the second half and got on the end of a pass from Antonio Valencia before the Mexican's shot deflected off his own face and into the net.[31] On 16 August, Hernández made his Premier League debut as he replaced Wayne Rooney in the 63rd minute of their 3–0 home victory over Newcastle United.[32] He scored his first Champions League goal on 29 September, coming off the bench to score the only goal in an away win over Valencia.[33] He scored his first league goal for United in a 2–2 home draw against West Bromwich Albion on 16 October.[34] Eight days later he scored his first brace for the club, also his first away league goals, in a 2–1 away win over Stoke City.[35] Two days on from this display, he came off the bench to score a last-minute winner, his first ever League Cup goal, in a 3–2 win over Wolves which sent them through to the quarter-finals where they were then knocked out by West Ham United.[36] [37] On 1 January 2011, he came off the bench to head the winning goal in a 2–1 away win over West Bromwich Albion.[38] Hernández became the top scoring Mexican in Premier League history after opening the scoring in a 2–1 home victory over Stoke City on 4 January.[39]

On 8 May, Hernández scored the opening goal in a 2–1 home win over Chelsea after just 36 seconds to leave United one point away from winning the title.[49] The goal against Chelsea made him the first player since Ruud van Nistelrooy in the 2001–02 season to score 20 goals for the club in his debut season.[50] Six days later, Hernández won his first league title with United following a 1–1 draw against Blackburn Rovers with one league match remaining, the club's record-breaking 19th league title.[51] Hernández capped his debut season with Manchester United by winning the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award on 18 May which was voted for by the fans.[52] On 28 May, Hernández played all 90 minutes in the 3–1 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League Final.[53] On 5 July 2011, the International Federation of Football History and Statistics named Hernández as the "World Goalgetter 2011", with 13 goals, ahead of other players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Giuseppe Rossi, and Lionel Messi.[54]

2011–12: Injury hit season

After participating in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup with Mexico, Hernández returned to Manchester United to begin pre-season training in New York ahead of the 2011 MLS All-Star Game.

On 28 July 2011, it was reported that Rafael Ortega, the doctor at C.D. Guadalajara, informed Manchester United that Hernández was suffering from a pre-existing neurological condition. Ortega also explained that Hernández had suffered from "acute migraines and "headaches" as a teenager.[57] [58] He did not participate in any of United's pre-season matches, nor the 2011 FA Community Shield.

After the match, manager Sir Alex Ferguson said Hernández had suffered ankle ligament damage and would be out for up to four weeks.[68] On 18 December, Hernández made a surprise early return against Queens Park Rangers. He came on as a 63rd-minute substitute for Danny Welbeck in United's 2–0 victory at Loftus Road.[69]

On 10 November 2012, Hernández came on as a second-half substitute and scored two goals as United came from 2–0 down to beat Aston Villa 2–3 at Villa Park.

On 29 August 2015, it was reported that Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal had told Hernández he could leave the club before the closure of the transfer window. Although with one year of his contract still remaining, it was unclear with scale of transfer fee United would demand for him.[93]

Hernández played in what proved to be his final match for Manchester United on 22 August in a scoreless draw against Newcastle United at Old Trafford. He came on as a substitute in the 67th minute, replacing Adnan Januzaj.[94] As he often came on as a substitute during his time with Manchester United, Hernández's minutes per goal ratio is among the most prolific in the history of the Premier League.[95]

Loan to Real Madrid

On 1 September 2014, Hernández signed for Real Madrid on a season-long loan deal, with an option of a purchase at the end of the loan.[96] He underwent a medical and signed the contract that same day.[97]

FC Köln[114] and twice in 3–1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt.[115] On 12 December, Hernández scored his first hat-trick in Leverkusen's 5–0 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach, thus scoring 15 goals in his last 12 matches, and taking his tally to 17 goals in 20 matches.[116] [117] He would again be named Bundesliga Player of the Month for December.[118]

On 30 January 2016, in Bayer's second match after the winter break, Hernández scored twice in a 3–0 defeat of Hannover 96 to register his 20th and 21st goals of the season.[119] Two days later, he was named for the third time Bundesliga Player of the Month.[120] On 9 February, during the DFB-Pokal quarter-final match against Werder Bremen, he scored the only goal from a penalty in a 3–1 loss as Bayer was eliminated;[121] he finished as joint-second top scorer of the DFB-Pokal with four goals.

In response, Moyes referred to him as a "top goalscorer," and "a brilliant finisher."[143] During the winter transfer window there were reports Hernández would exit the club after only six months, being linked with a move to Turkish club Beşiktaş as well as a possible return to Manchester United.[144] On 20 January 2018, he came off the bench to score the equalising goal for West Ham in their 1–1 league draw against AFC Bournemouth, scoring his first goal since October.[145] Following the match Moyes praised Hernández's performance, saying "we needed him today."[146] On 8 April, in a league match against Chelsea, he scored a 73rd-minute goal to make the score 1–1, marking the ninth time he had scored against the club.[147]

On 22 February 2019, Hernández scored the equalising goal in West Ham's eventual 3–1 win over Fulham; on initial viewing, it looked like he had headed the ball in from a yard to score, however replays of the goal appeared to show the ball rebound off of Hernández's arm to put the ball into the net.[152] It was also his 50th career Premier League goal, becoming the first Mexican to reach the milestone.[153] He would get on the scoresheet again on 16 March, coming on as a second-half substitute and scoring twice—including the stoppage-time winner—to secure a 4–3 league victory over Huddersfield.[154]

He came on as a late substitute in the opening game against Gambia and scored the final goal in Mexico's 3–0 victory.[189]

On 30 September 2009, under Javier Aguirre, Hernández made his senior national team debut against Colombia, where he made an assist in a 2–1 loss.[190] On 24 February 2010, Hernández scored two goals against Bolivia and had an assist for Braulio Luna's goal.[191] On 3 March, Hernández scored a header against New Zealand, giving Mexico the lead in a 2–0 victory.[192] On 17 March, Hernández scored his fourth international goal to give Mexico a 2–1 victory over North Korea.[193] On 26 May, he scored a consolation header against the Netherlands in a 2–1 loss.[194] On 30 May, Hernández scored yet again, netting twice in a 5–1 victory over Gambia.[195]

2010 FIFA World Cup

On 11 June, Hernández made his FIFA World Cup debut during the opening game of the 2010 tournament against South Africa in a 1–1 draw, coming on in the 73rd minute to replace Guillermo Franco.[196] On 17 June, Hernández again came off the bench and this time scored his first ever World Cup goal, netting the first in a 2–0 victory over France by springing the offside trap, latching onto a through ball from Rafael Márquez, sidestepping Hugo Lloris and sidefooting into the net.[197] [198] By scoring he emulated his grandfather, Tomás Balcázar, who scored against France in the 1954 World Cup.[199] He was elected as man of the match.[200] It was also the 2,100th goal scored in all World Cup tournaments.[201] On 27 June, Hernández made his first start at a World Cup and netted his second goal of the World Cup, by turning Martín Demichelis on the edge of the box before sending a left-foot shot into the roof of the net,[202] in Mexico's 3–1 loss against Argentina in the round of 16.[203] FIFA's statistical analysis showed that Hernández was the quickest player in World Cup 2010, reaching a top speed of 32.15 km/h (20 mph).[204]

Post-World Cup friendlies

Hernández scored another goal in his first match for Mexico since the World Cup, in a friendly against recent 2010 FIFA World Cup winners Spain on 11 August 2010. He scored after just 12 minutes of the match, but David Silva equalised for Spain in the last minute of play to claim a 1–1 draw.[205] Hernández scored his and Mexico's first international goal of 2011 as he opened the scoring in a 2–0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina on 9 February.[206] On 26 March, Hernández scored two goals in an international friendly against Paraguay. He first connected with a pass from Pablo Barrera in the sixth minute of the match, before scoring off a low cross in the 29th minute, three minutes after teammate Andrés Guardado had made the score 2–0. He exited to a standing ovation in the 65th minute.[207]

2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup

On 5 June 2011, after being called up by José Manuel de la Torre, he scored a hat-trick, the first in his career, in a 5–0 win against El Salvador.[208] On 9 June, he scored two goals, in the 36th and 76th minutes against Cuba.[209] On 18 June, Hernández scored the winner in a 2–1 win over Guatemala to send Mexico to the semi-finals.[210] On 22 June, he helped Mexico reach the Gold Cup Final after a 2–0 win over Honduras in extra-time, where he scored Mexico's second goal in the 99th minute.

2015 CONCACAF Cup

On 1 July 2015, Hernández sustained a broken collar bone during a friendly match against Honduras, ruling him out of the that year's CONCACAF Gold Cup,[216] which Mexico went on to win.[217]

In October, Hernández was called up by interim manager Ricardo Ferretti for the CONCACAF Cup – a play-off match to determine CONCACAF's entry into the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup – against the United States. Mexico defeated the United States 3–2 after extra time at the Rose Bowl, with Hernández opening the score after ten minutes.[218]

2016–2018: Copa América Centenario and milestones

Hernández was included by Juan Carlos Osorio to be in Mexico's 23-man squad that would participate in the Copa América Centenario tournament. On 5 June 2016, he played 83 minutes in the 3–1 victory over Uruguay,[219] and scored the first goal in Mexico's 2–0 win over Jamaica. The goal took Hernández's tally to 45, one goal shy of tying Jared Borgetti's national team record.[220]

On 12 May 2017, Hernández was included in the national squad that would play in the FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.[221] On 27 May, Hernández became Mexico's all-time top goalscorer with 47 goals when he scored in a friendly against Croatia.[222] In Mexico's Confederations Cup debut, he scored Mexico's first goal in an eventual 2–2 draw against Portugal on 18 June, scoring a low header from a Carlos Vela cross.[223]

He was in the starting lineup in Mexico's first World Cup game against Germany at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow and made an assist to Hirving Lozano to go on to win the match 1–0.[225] In the second group game Hernández scored Mexico's second goal, his 50th international goal, in their 2–1 win over South Korea,[226] and was named FIFA Man of the Match.[227] With his goal, Hernández became the joint-highest scoring Mexican player at the World Cup with four goals, tied with Luis Hernández,[228] and the third Mexican player to score in three World Cups.[229] He went on to start in the final group stage match against Sweden, as well as in the round of 16 loss to Brazil.[230]

Hernández requested Gerardo Martino to not be included in the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup for personal reasons.[231] [232]

Hernández was included in the provisional roster for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup[233] but did not make the final list.[234]

Despite in form, Hernández was not included in the roster for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[235]

Style of play

A clinical goalscorer, Hernández has been described as a "goal-poacher", due to a number of his goals being scored from close-range.[236] [237] His movement off the ball, pace, and ability to find space inside the box has also been praised.[238] He has been described as one of the few players who seem capable of appearing behind a defender's back to knock in the ball from two yards, with his playing style being compared to that of German striker Miroslav Klose.[239]

Rudi Völler, sporting director of Bayer Leverkusen, has praised Hernández for his keen positioning in front of goal, saying: "he certainly doesn't win every tackle but he has an incredible sense of where the ball will end up". Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson described Hernández as two-footed, very quick, in possession of a good spring, and a natural goalscorer. Ferguson also said Hernández's style reminds him of former United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjær – the so-called "baby-faced assassin" who scored the injury time winner against Bayern Munich in United's 1999 Champions League triumph.[240] Hernández's former teammate Jesús Padilla described him as "amazing in the air" despite his height.Due to his small stature, he is extremely quick and agile, also possessing good technique.[241]

In a May 2016 interview with Sports Illustrated, Hernández commented on his abilities inside the penalty area, describing the intuition he has in knowing where an impending cross will fall from a teammate and outsmarting opposing defenders.[242] Former Mexico national team coach Juan Carlos Osorio described Hernández as having "a knack for the goal. Sometimes it seems like every rebound or every deflection goes into his path. Another thing is he doesn't dwell on a missed opportunity. He always looks forward to the next one. He has good ability in the air. He has good pace, and he makes those diagonal runs starting from the first defender in behind the second one. He also has the willingness to work defensively."[243]

Esports career

On 20 April 2022, Hernández signed with Complexity Gaming to play Call of Duty.

Personal life

Hernández is the son of Javier Hernández Gutiérrez, who played for three clubs in Mexico and was a member of the Mexico squad at the 1986 FIFA World Cup.[244] Hernández Gutiérrez quit his job as manager of Guadalajara's reserve side in order to watch Hernández play in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.[245] Hernández is also the grandson of Tomás Balcázar, who also played for Guadalajara and played for the national side in the 1954 FIFA World Cup.[246]

On 26 May 2012, Hernández became the Mexican ambassador for UNICEF, making him the third Mexican to serve this position, following César Costa and Julieta Venegas in 2004 and 2009 respectively.[247] As ambassador, he will participate in a number of activities to encourage children and teenagers to not abandon their education.[247] He was commemorated in a news conference, where he said he felt "proud and committed".[248]

Hernández is a devout Roman Catholic. He is well known for his pre-game ritual where he gets on his knees and prays which he performs before most games.[249] [250] [251]

Hernández was featured on the North American cover of FIFA 14 and the Mexican cover of FIFA 15, alongside global cover star Lionel Messi in both titles.[252] [253]

Hernández is an "honorary associate" of the Asociación Mexicana de Futbolistas (Mexican Footballers Association), created in October 2017.[254] [255]

In January 2019, Hernández and his then wife Sarah Kohan, an Australian model of Romanian descent[256] and travel blogger, announced on Instagram that they were expecting their first child.[257] On 16 June 2019, their son, Noah, was born.[258] One year later on 5 October 2020, their daughter, Nala, was born.[259]

Nickname

Hernández is commonly known as Chicharito, meaning little pea in Spanish, and wears the name on his shirt.[260] This is due to his father, Javier Hernández Gutiérrez, being nicknamed Chícharo (pea) because of his green eyes.[261]
