Fans love Herrera鈥檚 joy, enthusiasm
Print Edition
MEXICO’S national soccer coach Miguel Herrera just can’t keep his joy bottled up, and his enthusiasm has made him one of the most entertaining and popular figures of the World Cup and an Internet sensation worldwide.
Memes of Herrera flood the web, like one that shows his hair catching on fire cartoon-style. In one picture, he playfully sticks out his tongue while he photobombs three members of his team on the pitch. In a video, he dances happily to Spanish ska music.
Forget Coach Herrera’s success in turning around the troubled Mexican team, which faces off against the Netherlands tomorrow morning (midnight) after becoming one of the international soccer tournament’s biggest surprises. Soccer fans around the globe have fallen in love with Herrera’s colorful antics.
“He is so authentic, so expressive and so genuine,” said Enrique Krauze, a Mexican historian and World Cup commentator. “He’s becoming the representation of the Mexicans’ ability to celebrate and party.”
Although he wears a suit and a tie, Herrera rumbles up and down the sidelines like a classic Mexican wrestler.
“He revived the team and the country,” said Hector Diaz, 27, a Mexico fan in Rio de Janeiro, sporting an enormous green sombrero. “It’s easy for fans to identify with his enthusiasm.”
