Javier Hernandez meets with his dedicated fan from Hong Kong

Javier Hernandez was once a top-rated football player. Among other things, he won the immense admiration of fans from Hong Kong. She travelled thousands of miles to meet her idol in Mexico, and the opportunity to meet Javier Hernandez was a huge event for her.

In 2010, Javier Hernandez moved from his hometown of Guadalajara to Manchester United and began a decade-long career in European clubs. He also played for Real Madrid, Bayer 04 Leverkusen, West Ham United, and Sevilla FC. He gained further fame through his appearances on the Mexican national team.

Currently, Javier Hernandez is 36 years old. Although he maintained a youthful appearance throughout his career, "Chicharito" is nearing the end of his professional football career. He decided to close his sporting journey by returning to Guadalajara. He wishes to bring more happiness to the fans in his hometown.

In Mexico, the football player welcomed a guest who put much effort and commitment into meeting him in person. The fan flew to Mexico from Hong Kong. They are situated on opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean, and covering the distance between them can take over twelve hours.

Javier Hernandez tried to calm the fan down in English, as she seemed unable to believe she had the chance to meet the football player. The athlete's overwhelming emotions led her to conduct almost the entire conversation.

The football player received gifts from the fan and was particularly pleased that she brought a marker for him to sign mementoes. He emphasised that such a visit gave him much joy.

On social media, you can see a short recording from the beginning of the meeting. Javier Hernandez’s spontaneous behaviour after his training session was well-received. He appreciated the fan's visit. Although he is no longer a top-level football player, he can still count on significant fan engagement.
