Rudos O Lenadores (DVD)

In the long history of the “leñadores” of soccer, several names stand out that, because of their tough and unmerciful character, inspire fear in everyone. The famous “leñadores” of Team Pumas were a nightmare because of their two forward players, Sanabria and Mejía Barón. There’s also the unforgettable flying kick that Captain “Rage” delivered during a free-for-all match between the Chivas and the Aguilas in the mid-1980s. In recent years, national soccer has seen the emergence of a new breed of players who take an ax to their opponents. Players who know how to soften up a rival using a well-placed shove, a painful kick, or a direct hit—these are the “leñadores”, the tough guys of Mexican soccer.
