The Club Deportivo Guadalajara (in German: Sportverein Guadalajara), CD Guadalajara for short , also known by the nickname Chivas ( Spanish for goats , goats ) and Chivas Guadalajara , in German-speaking countries mostly Deportivo Guadalajara , is a professional football club from Guadalajara , the second largest city from Mexico .
With twelve titles, Deportivo Guadalajara is the record champion of the Mexican Liga MX together with arch-rivals Club América . Both clubs are the only ones that have been continuously represented in the Mexican professional league since it was launched in 1943. Their duels are the "game of the year" in Mexico , similar to the one between Boca Juniors and River Plate in Argentina or Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain .
The most successful phase was the nine years between 1956/57 and 1964/65, in which seven championship titles were won. To date, the club is the only one to win the professional league introduced in 1943/44 four times in a row (from 1959 to 1962). During this time the team was nicknamed Campeonísimo . In the recent past, the team, which traditionally consists exclusively of players born in Mexico, has been more successful in cup competition and internationally. So she reached the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores three times between 2005 and 2010 , whereby she qualified for the final in 2010 . The most important titles at international level were winning the CONCACAF Champions' Cup in 1962 , when the tournament was held for the first time, and winning its successor, the CONCACAF Champions League, in 2018 .
history
The early years of Club Deportivo Guadalajara
In 1906, Mexicans, together with Belgian and French immigrants, founded a football club called Club Unión . The name was taken from the Avenida Unión; a street at the intersection of the neighboring Avenida Bosque (today José Guadalupe Zuno Hernandez) there was an undeveloped area at the time, on which the first game of the young club was played.
Over the decades, the version that prevailed, according to which the initiative for the establishment came from the Belgian Edgar Everaert , who came to Guadalajara on September 15, 1904. Everaert, who was born in Bruges , came into contact with round leather as a child and, according to tradition, was a supporter of Club Bruges .
On the other hand, the records of Gabriel Orozco say that the Club Unión was founded on the initiative of his father, Gregorio Orozco . Among those who joined his project was Edgar Everaert, some French, an Austrian and several residents of Mexicaltzingo, a neighborhood in the south of Guadalajara.
Gregorio Orozco was born on July 17, 1889. He got to know football by reading European newspapers. A passion for this sport quickly arose in him and he knew how to transfer his fascination to the ordinary people of Colonia Moderna , some of whom he was able to win over for his project. Thanks to the support of Edgar Everaert, balls and shoes were imported from England and the official regulations from Paris .
In 1908, Everaert suggested that the club should change its name to the European model, where the custom had prevailed to give football clubs the name of their city or district. This measure primarily served to create a feeling of rootedness and belonging and to win over an audience that identified with the club based in its city or district. So it was finally renamed in the same year. What was retained, however, were the club's original colors: the red and white striped jerseys and the blue shorts. The club chronicle reports that the colors red, white and blue were chosen when the club was founded by the then quite large group of French co-founders according to the national colors of their home country. A different opinion, however, takes the view that the colors of the city arms of Bruges, Everaert's homeland, were used as a model; because this has a striking resemblance to the club's logo (see left).
The new sport was quickly adopted by the young people in the district, so that the number of comrades-in-arms grew rapidly. Until 1915, Guadalajara remained under the leadership of the Orozco brothers. The first club president was Rafael Orozco and in 1912 the office passed to his brother Gregorio Orozco.
The national championship Liga de Occidente was held for the first time in the 1908/09 season, so that Guadalajara was able to compete against other teams in the region at an early stage. The first serious rival was the team of the Liceo de Varones , with which all titles were shared up to and including 1913/14. Both teams were successful three times in these six years.
After Atlas Guadalajara was founded in 1916, its team took over the supremacy in Jalisco and won the championship four times in a row between 1918 and 1921. This was followed by three runner-up championships for the Atlatistas between 1922 and 1924, in which the CD Guadalajara won the championship as well as in 1925, when it first had to assert itself against the CD Nacional , which developed into the main opponent of the CD Guadalajara by the end of the 1930s; because between 1926 and 1939 Guadalajara and Nacional were tied for success with six titles each and only once (1936) was Atlas able to break through their supremacy.
When the Mexican professional football league was introduced in the 1943/44 season , the CD Guadalajara was one of the founding members, but in the beginning mostly only occupied places in the midfield or in the lower half of the table. After all, twice ( 1951/52 and 1954/55 ) the runner-up was achieved before the first championship title was won in the 1956/57 season .
The team of CD Guadalajara played their first professional football match in a game for the Copa México 1942/43 on June 6, 1943 in a Clásico Tapatío against Atlas Guadalajara , which was lost 1: 3, with the following line-up: Félix Valadez - José " Pelón "Gutiérrez , Reyes" Térile "Sánchez - Victorino" Zarco "Vázquez , Rafael" Raffles "Orozco , Wintilo Lozano - José" Chato "Torres, Max Prieto , Pablo" Pablotas "González , Luis Reyes , Manuel" Cosas "López . Three players who played the first professional football game in the club's history came from El Salto : goalkeeper Valadez, defender Gutiérrez and striker González.
The first game in the newly introduced professional league played the CD Guadalajara on October 21, 1943 in a 4-1 away win against CF Atlante with the following line-up: Esteban "Poeta" Pérez - Vicente "Chato" Hidalgo, José "Pelón" Gutiérrez - Rafael “Raffles” Orozco , Wintilo Lozano , Victorino “Zarco” Vázquez - Teófilo “Tilo” García , Max Prieto , Luis Reyes , Pablo “Pablotas” González , Manuel “Cosas” López .
Before the Deportivo Guadalajara soccer team was able to win their first championship title in the 1956/57 season, the soccer players reached the final of the Mexican Cup four times , which was lost in all cases. Below are all the team line-ups of the cup finalists during this period:
- 1948 final against CD Veracruz (1: 3):
Vicente "Capulina" González - Rodrigo Ruiz , Gregorio "Tepa" Gómez - Castorena, Rafael "Rafles" Orozco , Francisco "Borrego" Silva - José Trinidad Naranjo, Juan Jasso , Javier "Chamaco" de la Torre , Max Prieto , Rafael "Zurdo “Rivera .
- 1951 final against CF Atlante (0: 1):
Jaime "Tubo" Gómez - Rodrigo Ruiz , Gregorio "Tepa" Gómez - Rafael "Rafles" Orozco , Rafael Bocanegra, Juan "Gallo" Delgado, Javier "Chamaco" de la Torre - Jesús "Chuco" Ponce , Javier "Chamaco" de la Torre , Tomás Balcázar , Rafael "Zurdo" Rivera .
- 1954 final against Club América (3: 4 on pens ):
Jaime "Tubo" Gómez - Pedro "Chato" Nuño , Guillermo "Tigre" Sepúlveda , José "Jamaicón" Villegas - Juan Jasso , Rafael "Zurdo" Rivera - Javier "Chamaco" de la Torre , Salvador "Chava" Reyes , Adalberto "Dumbo "López , Tomás Balcázar , Raúl" Pina "Arellano .

El Campeonísimo - the great years of the Club Deportivo Guadalajara (1957 to 1965)
The discovery of some first-class young talents in the 1955/56 season heralded the most successful era to date in the more than hundred-year history of the Club Deportivo Guadalajara. Because these rough diamonds soon formed an ideal complement to the existing player base and together they formed a team with great harmony in the years to come, which won seven championship honors in the nine years between 1957 and 1965 and only lost the championship on the last match day .
In the following season 1956/57 Chivas Guadalajara had given his arch-rival America a bitter 7-0 swatter and had become Mexican football champions for the first time at the end of the season. The goalkeeper of the championship team, Jaime el Tubo Gómez, described this title win at the time as "a celebration in the spirit of the fans and a symbolic triumph of real Mexican football"; an allusion to the consistent policy of non-foreigners of the association, whose long-standing pillars from the Campeonisimo era were mostly born in Guadalajara. This triumph was greeted with joy and satisfaction not only in Guadalajara, but everywhere in the country, because it was the first championship title in 20 years that a team consisting entirely of Mexican players had won. Necaxa had last achieved this in the 1936/37 season.
Winning the championship had left Chivas hungry for more. In order to be able to keep the championship team largely together, the board even increased the players' salaries. Only the coaching position was filled, the Uruguayan master coach Donaldo Ross replaced by the Hungarian Árpád Fekete . His defensive tactics were initially neither welcomed by the players nor accepted by the spectators. But with the onset of success, his tactics began to be increasingly accepted. After a third place in the 1957/58 season , Guadalajara became champions for the second time in 1959 and defended his title for the first time in the 1959/60 season . After winning the third title, Guadalajara began to be a valuable national passion and Fékete announced with satisfaction after the game: “We ... fought with a team consisting only of Mexican players against teams that were filled with foreign players. This is a tremendous achievement for Mexican football and you can all be proud to have an invaluable master. "
Despite successfully defending his title, Fékete was replaced by Javier de la Torre before the start of the 1960/61 season . His first official act was to free the team from the tactical shackles that Fékete had placed on them. He gave the players the freedom to develop themselves and contribute their own ideas. He also always had an open ear for the players and did not limit their creativity and inventiveness. The players thanked them in their own way and won more titles.
In the 1960/61 season, Guadalajara had to cope with some injury-related absenteeism, but the substitutes fitted seamlessly into the team and performed as well as the regular players, so that Chivas won his fourth championship with a 3-2 win over Toluca - the third in a row - could win. The songs of joy in the Estadio Jalisco (Campeones, Campeones) were the initial spark for the creation of the new nickname Campeonisimo . In the 1961/62 season , Guadalajara celebrated its renewed title defense - the fourth triumph in a row.
Also in the 1962/63 season it looked like another triumph. But of all people, the local neighbor Oro , trained by Guadalajara's previous master coach Arpad Fékete, gave the Chivistas an exciting head-to-head race. As if it had been made to increase the tension, the game plan on the final day of the game determined the encounter between these two teams. Before the decisive game Chivas Guadalajara was one point ahead, so a draw would have been enough to defend their title for the fourth time in a row. But a late goal by Brazilian Necco to 1-0 for Oro caused both teams to swap places and Oro himself won the championship title for the first - and only - time. For Javier de la Torre, the defeat against Oro was the result of exhaustion and satiety.
These factors - fatigue and over-saturation - continued into the first half of the coming season , in which the team delivered some very poor performances. But in the second half of the season she was transformed, played like unleashed and began to roll up the field from behind. That season there was a neck-and-neck race for the championship lead against big arch-rivals America. From this duel, Guadalajara emerged victorious and crowned an excellent second half of the season with his sixth title win with a 2-0 win against city rivals Nacional on the last day of the match. The management of Chivas was ultimately so overwhelmed by the celebrations that followed this title win that they invited the fans to celebrate together with the team on the club grounds.
Although Guadalajara never lost the championship lead in the following season 1964/65 , they were in dire straits by Zacatepec , Atlas and, at the end, Oro. The title defense proved more and more difficult with increasing duration. The opponents in the championship fight strengthened themselves with foreign players. On the penultimate matchday, a draw was enough for Chivas to win the championship again. "And although there was joy in the red and white camp," remembers Tubo Gómez, "the fans were no longer as enthusiastic as at previous championships."
Many factors have worked together in the development of campeonisimo ; A successful team consisting only of local players that won 7 championship titles in 9 years: good camaraderie, consistency and an absolute will to win. Perhaps the decisive factor, however, was that this team stayed together for a long time.
Chivas Flacas
Between the championships of 1965 and 1970, Guadalajara finished two third places (1966 and 1967), one sixth place (1968) and one runner-up (1969). Also in the special tournament before the 1970 World Cup , Chivas took second place again immediately after winning the championship. But from now on it went downhill. In the 1970/71 season, which was divided into two groups for the first time, Guadalajara escaped the relegation games for relegation only because of one more point. After Chivas was able to reach the semi-finals for the championship again in the 1971/72 season, which was only just lost 1-0 and 0-2 against eventual champions Cruz Azul , Guadalajara usually only occupied double-digit table positions and in the 1970s received the new nickname "Chivas Flacas" (lean goats); a nod to their meager athletic performance. Eleven years after their near relegation in 1971, Guadalajara escaped the relegation games by only one point in the 1981/82 season.
The long-time regular players of the "Chivas Flacas" who could never win a title with Chivas include (in alphabetical order with the club membership in brackets) Pedro Damián Alvarez (1975–1980), Manuel Chavarría (1971–1976), Hugo Díaz de la Paz (1972–1982), Aurelio Hernández (1970–1972 and 1974–1980), Gabriel López Zapiain (1971–1982), José Martínez González (1970–1981; the jersey with the number 22 of the died in a traffic accident player is no longer awarded), Víctor Rangel (1976–1984), José Luis Real (1971–1980) and Guillermo Torres (1971–1977 and 1980–1985).
The later years
The positive turn came with the commitment of their former home grown Alberto Guerra to the coaching post for the 1982/83 season. Under his direction, the Chivas Rayadas advanced to the finals, eliminating their arch-rival and big title favorite America in the semifinals. After losing the first leg in front of their own crowd with 1: 2, they surprisingly and clearly won the second leg in the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City with 3: 0 and moved into the finals, which (after 2: 1 and 0: 1) ultimately a little unfortunate with 6: 7 on penalties against Puebla FC were lost. Also in the following season 1983/84 Guadalajara reached the finals and failed this time with 2: 2 and 1: 3 against America. But the team had not yet reached its zenith. After 17 lean years, the Chivasi won their ninth championship at the end of the 1986/87 season. Alberto Guerra kept his coaching post until the end of the 1988/89 season and with his tenure of seven years was only outbid by the successful coach of Campeonísimo, Javier de la Torre , who held the coaching post at Guadalajara for more than 12 years.
After a few more moderate years, in which the play-offs were missed several times and two semi-finals (1991 against America and 1995 against Necaxa ) were still the greatest achievements, before the 1996/97 season , Ricardo Ferretti, who was born in Brazil , was finally back again Obliged coach who should put the team back on the road to success. In the very first season - the first in which, as has been the case since then, there have been two champions per game year - Guadalajara won its tenth title. If you failed in the quarter-finals against Necaxa in the Apertura , you marched through the play-offs relatively confidently in the Clausura and prevailed in the quarter-finals with 1: 1 and 5: 0 against Santos Laguna as clearly as in the final against the Toros Neza that had been downgraded by 1: 1 and 6: 1. “Man of the match” in this second final game, in which no goals had been scored by half time (!), Was Gustavo Nápoles , who “shot” the Toros practically single-handedly with his four goals within just 34 minutes.
Ferretti had trained the team over a period of four years, making a total of eight championship rounds, and only missed the play-offs once. In addition to the already mentioned championship title in 1997, the club reached the finals again in the 1998/99 Apertura and the semi-finals in the 1999/00 Clausura.
Ferretti was barely no longer responsible than Chivas had a disastrous season. Things went particularly badly in the Apertura, so that only 3 out of a total of 17 games were won. In the overall annual ranking of 2000/01, Guadalajara finally finished 17th (out of 18 teams). With this balance sheet, the club only escaped relegation because there is only one relegated team per season in Mexico, which is also calculated using a three-year balance sheet.
Since then the club has gone through some ups and downs, but has found its way back on the road to success under its new president, the wealthy Jorge Vergara (in office since November 2002). In the Clausura 2003/04 they reached a championship final again, although it was lost to the UNAM Pumas . After a 1-1 draw in Guadalajara and a 0-0 draw at the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City , the penalty shoot-out required to determine the winner was lost 4-5 because Rafael Medina was unable to convert the last penalty.
In December 2006, Chivas was able to win his eleventh and so far last championship title. After a mixed preliminary round with seven wins and five defeats, the team grew in the subsequent Liguilla , the Mexican name for the play-offs , beyond. In the Repechaje , the qualifying round for the Liguilla, the Chivasi first knocked out the Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz (2: 1 and 4: 0) and then sat down against the great rivals of Cruz Azul (2: 0 and 2: 2) and América (2-0 and 0-0) by which the finals against the Diablos Rojos de Toluca were reached, in which Guadalajara had the upper hand with 1: 1 and 2: 1.
Immediately before her eleventh championship title, Chivas Guadalajara caused a sensation in the Copa Libertadores , the Champions League of South America . In 2005 and 2006 Guadalajara reached the semi-finals twice in a row; and in 2005 struggled with the fate of the distortion of competition. After defeating league rivals Pachuca (1-1 and 3-1) in the round of 16 , which Guadalajara celebrated as the triumph of real Mexican football, the quarter-finals swept South America's most successful team in the new millennium, three-time world cup winner Boca Juniors , in their own Estadio Jalisco 4-0 from the field. In Boca's legendary stadium, the Bombonera , Chivas should expect a hot dance. But they defended a 0-0 with luck and skill. Until the 79th minute. Then the nerves of the Argentines, who were used to victory, were visibly blank. After a scuffle between some of the players, officials and fans of the Boca Juniors intervened in the dispute. The referee saw no other option than to abandon the game. The South American Football Association finally decided that the 0-0 result should remain valid. Boca was out and Chivas was in the semi-finals. But Guadalajara - Oswaldo Sánchez , Carlos Salcido , Ramón Morales , Alberto Medina and Omar Bravo - had to assign five players to the national team, who - at the same time as the Chivistas' first leg against Brazilian representative Athletico Paranaense - had to compete in the FIFA Confederations Cup 2005 . Without these important players, Chivas came under the wheels 3-0.
It was no use that Chivas club owner Jorge Vergara had his veterans flown in immediately after the Mexicans game for third place against hosts Germany in his private jet for the second leg at home in Estadio Jalisco; Because even with the national players and despite a 1-0 break as well as two other high-class scoring opportunities in the first half, the first shot of which hit the crossbar and the second was blocked by a Brazilian defender, it was only enough in the end to a 2: 2, so that the high defeat in the first leg could not be made up for. Nevertheless, Chivas should have set a remarkable record on this day; because with the exception of Omar Bravo, who was not used in the Confederations Cup, all the other players had played in the meeting of the Mexican selection against the German selection the day before in Leipzig , the four Chivas players Sánchez, Salcido, Morales and Medina two games within two days on two continents.
Athletico Paranaense lost the finals 1: 1 and 0: 4 against São Paulo FC . Against this team, Chivas was able to prevail in the preliminary round group games of the Copa Libertadores 2006 twice with 2-1, but ultimately failed against this opponent in the semifinals of the same tournament with 0-1 and 0-3.
Four years later, Guadalajara reached the finals of the Copa Libertadores 2010 and was again defeated by a Brazilian opponent; this time the SC Internacional with 1: 2 and 2: 3.
After Chivas went through some lean years in sport, the team has been improving again since 2015. In the four seasons of 2015 and 2016, the Chivasi reached the Liguillas three times in the fight for the Mexican football championship, in which they failed once in the semifinals against the eventual champions Santos Laguna and twice in the quarterfinals at arch-rivals Club America . During the same period, they were able to qualify for the cup final three times and won the domestic cup competition in Apertura 2015 for the third time (after 1963 and 1970) with a 1-0 final victory on November 5, 2015 at the Estadio León against the “hosts “ Club León . This success was achieved with the following lineup:
Rodolfo Cota - Carlos Salcido , Oswaldo Alanís (he scored the winning goal in the 71st minute), Miguel Ponce , Miguel Basulto - Marco Fabián (80th Israel Castro ), Michael Pérez , Raúl López - Carlos Fierro (64th Isaác Brizuela ), Omar Bravo , Carlos Cisneros (71st Ángel Zaldívar ); Coach: Matías Almeyda .
In the Clausura 2017, too, the Chivasi (for the fourth time in the fifth tournament) reached the final on April 19, 2017, which was won 3-1 on penalties against Monarcas Morelia after a goalless encounter . It was the club's first major title at the Estadio Chivas, which has been in use since 2010 . This success was achieved with the following lineups:
Miguel Jiménez - Carlos Salcido , Miguel Ponce , Hedgardo Marín , Néstor Calderón (63rd), Eduardo López - Michael Pérez , Jesús Sánchez , Orbelín Pineda - Alan Pulido , Carlos Fierro , Ángel Zaldívar (39th), Rodolfo Pizarro ; Coach: Matías Almeyda .
Less than six weeks later, Chivas also won the first championship title in his own stadium after more than ten years of unsuccessfulness and thus won the double again in the Clausura 2017 for the first time since 1970 . The 2-1 win against UANL Tigres was won on May 28, 2017 by the following team: Rodolfo Cota - Oswaldo Alanís , Carlos Salcido , Jair Pereira , Edwin Hernández - Néstor Calderón (59th Carlos Fierro ), José Juan Vázquez , Orbelín Pineda (90th + 3 Ángel Zaldívar ), Rodolfo Pizarro - Jesús Sánchez , Alan Pulido . The goals for Chivas scored Pulido and Vázquez.
As the Mexican champion, Chivas played again in the CONCACAF Champions League , which was won for the second time in the club's history in 2018 . The recent successes have been closely linked to the Argentine coach Matías Almeyda , who kept the promise he made when signing the contract in September 2015 to “bring the sleeping giant back to life”.
After almost three years and several titles, Almeyda announced his departure from Chivas in June 2018. The reason for this was, according to him, various differences with the management, which among other things had announced a "financial consolidation" and passed key players like goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota , defender Oswaldo Alanís and striker Rodolfo Pizarro to other clubs against the will of the coach .
Less than 24 hours after the separation from Almeyda, his successor was signed with the former Paraguayan striker José Saturnino Cardozo .
There must be eleven Mexicans
It is no longer possible to determine without a doubt when the club, which was founded under the decisive influence of the Belgian Edgar Everaert and with the participation of some French, made its fundamental decision to only sign Mexican players. In contrast to a FIFA article devoted to the club , in which such a decision is already quantified in its early days (as a result, it was decided in 1908 that the team should consist exclusively of Mexican players, which is why some French players who were at the club at the time were, were put in front of the door ”), this player policy seems to have actually only come into effect in the 1940s.
The following three factors in particular support this assumption:
- At the latest with the start of professional football in the 1943/44 season, when comparatively high player salaries were paid in Mexico, most Mexican clubs signed a large number of players from South America, which led to the league becoming foreigners and finally prompted the Mexican Federation to adopt a foreigners clause to be introduced, which the clubs bypassed in part by naturalization. In order to counteract this development, which causes discomfort for many football fans, the management of the CD Guadalajara is said to have made its decision. Not only did they renounce the obligation of real foreign players, but also naturalized players.
- The renowned Mexican football historian Carlos Calderón Cardoso goes on to say that the work of the Hungarian coach Jorge Orth , who coached the club between 1946 and 1949, formed the basis of the later nationalism at Club Deportivo Guadalajara.
- The aforementioned two events both took place in the 1940s. Further evidence that the personnel policy of engaging only local players only emerged at this time is the information in the Libro de Oro del Fútbol Mexicano that the Hungarian player Luis Grocz was probably under contract with Club Guadalajara in the 1930s should.
The home venues
After a series of changing venues in the early years, the club moved into its first real home ground in 1923 on a plot of land in the colonia Reforma southwest of the city center . The club's own sports park in the immediate vicinity of the intersection of Avenida Unión and Avenida Bosque was used as a regular home ground until the opening of Parque Oblatos in July 1930. There was room for around three thousand visitors.
Between July 1930 and January 1960, Parque Oblatos, owned by city rivals CD Oro, served as the home ground . The sports park designed for 15,000 visitors was located in the colonia Oblatos in the east of Guadalajara.
From January 1960, the Estadio Jalisco in the Colonia Independencia in the north of the city, financed by the “Clubes Unidos de Jalisco AC” (consisting of the clubs Atlas, Oro and Guadalajara), was home ground for half a century. The stadium, which was built for around 56,700 spectators, Chivas had to share with its most important city rivals - just like Parque Oblatos before it.
Since July 30, 2010, the club has finally had its "own" stadium again - for the first time in eighty years (!). Since then, Chivas has played in the Estadio Akron , which was built for 45,500 and belongs to its president and patron Jorge Vergara , and - for the first time in the history of the home venues of Club Deportivo Guadalajara - is not in Guadalajara itself, but in its northwestern "sister city" Zapopan .
Fans
Most of the organized Chivas fans are united in the Legión 1908 . Other important fan groups are La Irreverente and La Resistencia .
Unlike in most European football nations, the majority of the Mexicans are loyal to a club that has only won four championship titles (in a period of almost 50 years) since its heyday until 1970. In addition to the general still lingering enthusiasm for the era of Campeonísimo, the most successful club team in the history of Mexican professional football, the affection for the most popular club in Mexico is also fed by the fact that Chivas is the only first division club in Mexico to only sign local players. And not only that. Chivas seldom bought Mexican players from other major clubs, nor did they import their players equally from all parts of Mexico. The focus of their personnel policy is primarily in their own region (in western Mexico), and here predominantly in the state of Jalisco and traditionally most of all on the exhaustion of their own junior staff.
Celebrity fans
One of the club's best-known fans is the ranchera singer Vicente Fernández , who likes to take the opportunity to pay homage to his club when he performs: when he sings the song Guadalajara , which is dedicated to the city , he often has a poncho with the colors and the logo on it of the club and shout during the song: “Arriba las chivas!” (something like: “Let's go, Chivas!” or “Long live Chivas!”).
Other well-known fans of the club include:
- Demián Bichir , Mexican actor
- Usain Bolt , Jamaican sprinter
- Jacqueline Bracamontes , Mexican actress and model
- Kate del Castillo , Mexican actress
- Nomar Garciaparra , American baseball player of Mexican descent
- Edith González , Mexican actress
- Maluma , Colombian singer
- Óscar de la Hoya , Mexican boxer
- José Ron , Mexican actor
How the goat established itself as a nickname
On October 1, 1948, the CD Guadalajara completed a point game against the CD Tampico . The audience saw a weak performance by both teams and began to vent their displeasure. The daily newspaper El Informador commented on the victory of the home team with the words: "They ran like goats and won 1-0".
The derogatory term was quickly adopted by fans of city rivals Atlas to denigrate the CD Guadalajara. The counterstrike followed at the next home game on October 24, 1948. In the run-up to the Superclásico against América, those responsible had made it their goal to hear the battle cry “Chivas! Chivas! ”From its negative attributes and transforming it into its opposite. To this end, they bought a goat, put it on a red and white jersey and took it to the field just a few minutes before the start of the game, where it was presented to the fans. Through this action, the goat had established itself as the team's talisman and a new identification of the fans was born. Since then, the nickname “Chivas” (goats) has become a regular name for the club. Derived from him, further identifying features emerged for the association, such as the name “el rebaño sagrado” (the holy flock) or - alluding to the traditional red and white striped jersey - “Chivas rayadas” (striped goats).

Rivalries
The regional rivalry between Chivas Guadalajara and Club Atlas
In 1916 , a group of young people who had recently returned from studying in England, where they had come into contact with football , came together at the Orendáin family's home in the suburb of San Pedro Tlaquepaque , southeast of Guadalajara . This meeting is considered to be the birth of Atlas Guadalajara .
In the club history for the centenary of Club Deportivo Guadalajara, the eternal rivalry of the two clubs is described as follows: Two opposing poles - on one side Guadalajara, which gathered the working class behind it; on the other hand, Atlas, which was in league with an aristocracy that refused to give up its privileges.
In a tournament in 1916, Guadalajara and Atlas faced each other for the first time. The first encounter already revealed the different basic characters of the two teams - and the social benefits that Atlas received in those days. The referee of the first derby, Justo Garcia Godoy, was no exception and left no doubt that he was inclined to Atlas. Atlas won the first derby 2-1 against Chivas. Due to the scandalous referee services Chivas refused to take part in the tournament of the season 1917/18. The foundation stone for a bitter rivalry that still exists today was laid. Especially since Atlas contested its previous supremacy with the Club Deportivo and won four championship honors between 1918 and 1921.
One of the most memorable derbies between Atlas and Deportivo took place on January 29, 1922 in Parque El Paradero , Atlas' home ground at the time. During the game there had been tumult between the two supporters, which almost led to the game being abandoned.
In the 1920s and 1930s Atlas fell back a bit and threatened to lose touch, while the Club Nacional grew to become the new main rival of Chivas in the city of Guadalajara (see Liga Amateur de Jalisco ). But Atlas recovered just in time to be accepted into the professional league newly introduced in 1943, together with Chivas, as one of two founding members from the city of Guadalajara. In 1951 Atlas was the first club in the city to win the championship title of Mexico and was also more frequent cup winners than Chivas, but can not hold a candle to its neighbor in terms of sporting success.
Due to the lack of success of the Club Atlas and the duels between Guadalajara and the capital club América, which soon polarized the whole country in the professional league, a new arch rival was soon found for Chivas. While Atlas continues to be an unpopular city rival, who is particularly averse to the followers of Guadalajara living in Jalisco, America is considered the enemy of all Chivas fans everywhere in Mexico (and in the USA).
The supraregional rivalry between Chivas Guadalajara and Club América
The dislike between the two most popular clubs in Mexico is not only explained by that aspect that characterizes the rivalry between comparable clubs in other countries: namely the duel of the largest (and always preferred by politicians) city against the (in many ways politically disadvantaged or at least feeling disadvantaged) second largest city. Examples of such rivalries are the duels between Ajax Amsterdam and Feyenoord Rotterdam and between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Marseille . In contrast to these confrontations, in the vicinity of which the hostile camps almost regularly experience excesses of violence, the encounter between America and Chivas is largely considered to be peaceful. It is also interesting that the fan camps cannot be identified strictly geographically. For example, on ordinary days in Mexico City you see a lot of people wearing a Chivas jersey, and in Guadalajara a lot of people profess Club America.
In addition, the Súper Clásico del Fútbol Mexicano is traditionally seen as a clash of cultures, as a conflict between two worldviews: Here, especially in the 1960s, “the best Mexicans” (Chivas) met “the best foreigners” (America). Looking back at his coaching time at America (from 1958 to 1961) Fernando Marcos later complained about the image problem of his ex-club: “You (Chivas, author's note) were considered the nice boys next door, ours on the other hand as the rich sacks who competed with foreigners. ”Because while Club América has always signed many football legionnaires, Chivas Guadalajara relies exclusively on local players. A fact that gives the club the greatest popularity in Mexico. The different purchasing policies are based on a different milieu. América has always been considered a middle-class club and has even been seen as an upper-class club for decades, to which the money comes in thanks to the generous financial support of the media giant Televisa. In contrast, the Club Deportivo Guadalajara often had to overcome financial bottlenecks and has been a traditional workers' association since the beginning.
The bitter rivalry between the two clubs arose early after the introduction of professional football in the 1943/44 season and has been a common thread through the history of Mexican football ever since.
A first comparison of the two teams had already come about in October 1926, when Club America - as the new champions of the capital league - accepted an invitation to play three games "in friendship" against Guadalajara within just three days. If the first two games were still well-mannered, the third game slipped completely away. In the 65th minute there was a penalty for Guadalajara, which the players of America considered to be unjustified and left the field in protest. Although they could eventually be persuaded to return to the field under the threat of severe penalties, from then on they resorted to extremely unfair means. The foundation stone for the coming rivalry was laid.
In 1944, the two teams had their first clashes under competitive conditions. The first duel was held in Guadalajara on January 16, 1944. There was a crackling atmosphere in the stadium; the audience continuously berated the visiting team, while the game, which Guadalajara won 3-1 in its favor, became more and more gruff with the length of the game. Even then, the super-classic of Mexican football was marked by a class antagonism that has lost none of its original intensity to this day: “They,” recalls Chivas actor José el Pelón Gutiérrez, “were the rich and snooty. They were called the Argentines. And we were poor and Mexicans. They turned a game of honor into a whipping orgy. When the game ended, the spectators carried us on their shoulders. But the Argentines swore revenge. "
This took place on February 20, 1944 in Parque Asturias in Mexico City . In the 30th minute the hostile game threatened to escalate completely. Because it came to a mass brawl, in which all 22 actors were involved and which lasted 20 minutes. In the meantime, many spectators had stormed onto the field, which made the situation even more confusing. After the initially inactive police finally got the situation under control, several players were injured. In the end, America had decided the game 7-2 in his favor. It was the highest Americanistas victory in the history of the super classic. Guadalajara's biggest win was 7-0 in the 1956/57 season.
The 1964 European tour
As the first Mexican club team, Chivas Guadalajara undertook an almost five-week trip to Europe in 1964 , where they played ten games in five countries: four in Spain , three in France and one each in Belgium , Germany and the former Czechoslovakia . The tour group consisted of 20 players, coach Javier de la Torre, the team doctor and the masseur as well as five club officials and three journalists.
This group landed in Barcelona in the early hours of April 29, 1964 , where they would play their first game a day later. Opponent was the big FC Barcelona , who had just finished the season as runner-up behind Real Madrid . Of the 15 home games last season, the proud Catalans had won 13 and lost only one (1: 2 against Real Madrid). The team from Guadalajara made an excellent impression here not only because of their wit, but also because they never gave up and knew how to convert a 2-0 deficit into a 2-2 draw. Goalkeeper Ignacio "Nacho" Calderón made the best impression. At first insecure and nervous, he developed in the course of the game into a valuable support for his team, which the Catalans almost desperate.
After a ten-hour train journey, the Chivas team played their second game against Sporting Gijón on May 3 ; a second division team who had narrowly missed promotion to the football club. The eleven from Mexico, plagued by jetlag and their travel stress, presented themselves in astonishingly good shape, so that the 1-1 draw could be seen as flattering for the team from Gijón , as their coach José Molinuevo frankly admitted: “The Mexican team is ours think about it, your players have the better technique. "
On the evening after the game, the train went via Madrid to Seville - another odyssey, this time from the north to the south of the country. The next opponent was Sevilla FC , who had "only" finished the Spanish league in ninth place, but were extremely strong at home. For example, FC Barcelona did not get past 1-1 and champions Real Madrid even lost 1-0. Against the Chivistas, the Sevillistas initially looked like the sure winner. But after Salvador "Chava" Reyes managed to equalize 2-2 in the 48th minute, the friendly game turned into a rough argument in which Sevilla FC acted rather dirty and finally prevailed 3-2 in an overly tough fight understanding.
In the early morning hours of the following day, we took the plane to Brussels , from where we took the train to Lille . The opponent this time was the Lille OSC , which as a second division champion had just achieved promotion to the top division of France . Although the team from Lille acted with great enthusiasm and Chivas took on five reserve players - because some regular players had not survived the "Battle of Seville" unscathed - the Mexican champions were able to prevail 1-0. Two reservists ensured the golden goal in the 19th minute: Raúl Chávez scored it after a presentation by Chato Ortiz.
We quickly went back to Belgium , where the next opponent was already waiting with the traditional club Standard Liège . Here, too, the Mexicans prevailed 1-0 (with a goal from Salvador Reyes on presentation by Sabás Ponce), which meant that the men from the Belgian steel stronghold of Liège , who had finished the last championship round in third place, were still well served. Because Chivas had dominated the game for long stretches, but had repeatedly failed because of the brilliant goalkeeper Nicolay. But with that the team from Jalisco had already reached its zenith. Because from now on the stresses of traveling made themselves increasingly noticeable. The consequences were a lack of concentration and accuracy in the second half of the tour.
The only game of Chivas in Germany took place on May 15th in Bremen . Here they lost to Werder Bremen 1: 2 (0: 2). The Green-Whites from Bremen had just ended the first Bundesliga season 1963/64 in 10th place, but were to become German champions for the first time the following year. In addition to the general exhaustion, the main reasons for this defeat of the Chivistas, according to their club history, were the "low temperatures, too long a lawn in the Weser Stadium and the physical strength of the Germans."
Because the game in Bremen had started with a considerable delay - the team of referees did not show up and had to be replaced at short notice - the Chivas delegation missed their train and was therefore only able to travel to Vienna the following day , from where they were able to reach Bratislava . Physical exhaustion led to a relatively weak performance by the Mexicans - who never let themselves down and always gave their best, as the Mexican press praised - and an avoidable 1-0 defeat against ŠK Slovan Bratislava , runner-up in the Czechoslovak league.
A few days later, Chivas returned to France: first against Angers (2: 2), who had finished tenth in the French championship, and then against Rouen (1: 1), who only took 14th place, but in Had lost 17 home games only three times.
Chivas played his last game against the CD Mestalla from Valencia ; at that time the second division, but already later relegated a year and today, under the name Valencia CF Mestalla , a farm team of the great Valencia . Here the Mexicans said goodbye with the worst performance during their European tour, which resulted in an embarrassing 1: 2 defeat: the inevitable result of a strenuous journey with ten games within 28 days.
On Sunday, May 31, 1964, the delegation flew back to Mexico , where thousands of fans and admirers welcomed them upon their arrival in Mexico City . In addition to numerous Chivas fans living in the Mexican capital, there were also many fans of the traditional clubs CF Atlante and Necaxa .

Marco Fabián, who is under contract with Eintracht Frankfurt, has never lost sight of his favorite club Chivas despite the great distance, and Chicharito drew the following comparison between Chivas and his other clubs: “I always want my old clubs to do well. But I have only one love in my life in football - my home club - Chivas, in Guadalajara. The other clubs are my girlfriends. " (Eng." I always want my previous clubs to do well. But I have only one love in my football life - my home club - Chivas, in Guadalajara. The other clubs are my friends. ")

- ↑ On May 30, 2005, FIFA published an article on its website (www.fifa.com) in which Guadalajara's club president Jorge Vergara commented on the personnel policy of his opponent Pachuca, who competed with eight foreign players. Among other things, it says: “This team is more of a United Nations representative than a Mexican team. That's sad. It's a shame that the club officials don't trust the local players. They have to play against Mexicans. If this is not the case, the question arises for me as to how and when we want to build a strong national team. When will we finally have a national team that can hold its own on an international level? I am convinced that it is possible to advance football in our country without the obligation of foreign players. "

- ↑ The squad consisting of 23 players at the beginning of the 2008/09 season (according to the official website accessed on February 25, 2008) was a reflection of this basic personnel policy of the club: 11 of the players, and thus half, were in the state of Jalisco Born, 8 of them (and thus a third) even in Guadalajara itself. Another quarter, namely 6 players, was born in the five states of Colima , Guanajuato , Michoacán , Nayarit and Zacatecas , which border on Jalisco , as well as in the northwestern coastal state of Sinaloa . Only six of the players come from other regions of the country, with two of these already playing in the Guadalajara youth teams. The composition of the squad was similar in the 2009/10 season (according to the official website on January 19, 2010): 8 of the 22 players were born in Guadalajara and 2 others were also born in Jalisco state. 5 players came from the states of Colima, Guanajuato, Michoacán and Nayarit bordering on Jalisco and 2 from the coastal state of Sinaloa to the north. Only 5 players came from other parts of the country: two from Mexico City and one each from the states of Aguascalientes , Tamaulipas and Veracruz . The current squad for the 2010/11 season (accessed August 20, 2010) consists of 22 players and includes 9 players born in Jalisco (8 of them from Guadalajara) and five from the neighboring states of Colima, Guanajuato, Michoacán and Nayarit, with another four coming from the northern coastal states of Sinaloa (3) and Baja California (1). In the 2015/16 season (as accessed on September 13, 2015) exactly half (12) of the 24 players in the squad were born in the state of Jalisco.

- ↑ The finals were originally to be played both on September 8 and 10, 1963 in Guadalajara. The Haitian delegation did not get their entry permit in time and the final was postponed a total of three times. On February 7, 1964, the Guadalajara Club filed a complaint with CONCACAF , which Chivas then declared the winner. The Racing Club appealed against this decision and CONCACAF decided on April 2, 1964 that the final would now be held within two months. Chivas was about to travel to Europe and could therefore not meet the deadline. Therefore, they decided not to host the finals, whereupon CONCACAF declared the Racing Club the winner. (see Copa de Campeones CONCACAF 1963 at RSSSF )
