New LA Galaxy forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez courted controversy when he called himself a legend of Mexican soccer in his introductory news conference, but for Hernandez's countryman Alan Pulido, there's no doubt Hernandez fits the bill.
The new Sporting Kansas City forward said Tuesday that Chicharito wouldn't have the same sort of harsh judgments passed on him were he to be a foreign player.
"In Mexico you can't praise yourself. That's how the Mexican culture is," Pulido told Goal . "When a foreign player does it, we all applaud him.
