Corona shows no signs of confidence issues in Mexico's scoreless draw

The Porto winger had a rough year but may have been the biggest bright spot in an otherwise dull match Monday

It's been a difficult year on and off the field for Jesus "Tecatito" Corona.

After missing the 2017 Confederations Cup because of a personal issue, Corona again pulled out of a Mexico team with another personal issue in October, keeping him away from the national team. Fans criticized him to the point where the reason - his wife suffering a miscarriage - was made public. Playing on after the immense sadness, Corona struggled to be the same player he was two years ago when he was a star for both Porto and the Mexico national team.
