His indiscipline has separated him from football on more than one occasion, but like the phoenix, Chofis López has risen from the ashes and will now seek to win the 2022 Liga MX Opening Tournament with the Tuzos del Pachuca
Already the 2022 Opening Tournament of Liga MX has two teams that dispute the final. The Diablos Rojos del Toluca will face off against the Tuzos del Pachuca, who for the second consecutive semester will seek to lift the highest trophy in Mexican soccer.

Meanwhile, in Los Tuzos, there are several players with good performance, the most prominent being Javier ‘La Chofis’ López.
The 28-year-old midfielder was acquired by Pachuca as a last option. Due to his lack of discipline, he was neglected and rejected by Chivas de Guadalajara, the club where he was trained from the basic forces.
López has great talent and skills, but for some reason his posture and personality tend to clash with the coaches of the teams where he has been, as happened in the San Jose Earthquakes of the MLS where he did not perform alongside an old acquaintance as he is. Matías Almeyda nor the technician who later replaced him.
Upon his return from loan from the United States, CD Guadalajara took him away from training and waited until shortly before the start of Apertura 2022 for a team to be interested in him. The high command of the ‘Flock’ never forgave him for the party he threw in 2020, which was attended by several elements of the basic forces and in which there was excess alcohol, women and some media speculated that drugs, but that was not proven .
