Sergio Canales compares Liga MX with Spanish football

Sergio Canales is one of the most decisive players of Rayados de Monterrey and Mexican soccer, demonstrating his quality and leadership since his arrival in 2023. The Spanish midfielder came to Liga MX after having shone with important LaLiga teams in Spain, such as Real Betis, Valencia, Real Sociedad and Real Madrid .

Canales became one of the leaders of the Gang , leading the team to the Final of the Apertura 2024, although they would be defeated by the Águilas del América.

That is why in an interview with mediotiempo, Sergio Canales acknowledged that he found a very different style of play in Mexican soccer , but it didn't take long for him to adapt to his new team and the rivals he faced.

What differences does Sergio Canales find between La Liga and Liga MX?

" The MX League has a lot of pace and is very physical, in that sense much more than the Spanish League. There are very high-quality players here and more goal-scoring opportunities are created. "There is a lot more play in the centre of the area and the teams are closer together. These are the big differences," he said.

The defeat against América in the final had a great impact on Canales, who decided to wear the silver medal permanently by tattooing the symbol of the runner-up .

"We lost the final to America and it's a moment that will remain in my career. You usually tattoo what you win, but what really makes you grow are the defeats . You look back and ask yourself: why didn't I manage to do this in the first leg? Why didn't I manage to do it in the second leg? It's a huge growth," he mentioned in his podcast, "Disciplinas Cruzadas."

One of the biggest challenges that Sergio Canales will face with Rayados will be the Club World Cup , but the Spanish footballer will seek to advance to the next round at least.
