Santos Laguna great Oswaldo: Forget Wolves striker Raul, Corona is Mexico's star

Wolves star Raul Jimenez has been warned he faces competition to be Mexico's biggest world name.

Raul struck for Mexico in their 1-0 friendly win over Holland yesterday.

However, former Mexico international Oswaldo Sanchez says Porto midfielder Jesus Corona is El Tri's real star.

The Santos Laguna great declared: "Many speak of Raúl Jiménez as the new figure of Mexico, but for me it is Tecatito, because he is the creator of football, due to his quality, his intensity, his technical resources. He is a player who can be fundamental.

"He was the best player in the Portuguese League, he is a reference of his team and is at a great level. He's a very interesting player. Forwards need talented people and Tecatito does not lack that."
