Sufrió rechazos y hoy es capitán en Serie A: El secreto de Johan Vásquez | #Raíces:El Comienzo, Ep 4

How did the leader of the Mexican National Team's defense become a star? We traveled to Navojoa, Sonora, to learn about Johan Vásquez's roots. In this episode of #Roots, we discover the story of a young man's triumph over adversity, a man who went from waiting tables at his family's restaurant to wearing the captain's armband for Genoa in Serie A. We join his family, friends, and first coaches to relive the toughest moments: the rejections from Pachuca, Tigres, and Pumas, and how his resilience led him to debut with Cimarrones de Sonora before making the leap to Rayados and Europe. A story of discipline, family, and love for soccer that proves hard work always pays off. A Mediotiempo production that shows dreams come true with persistence. 00:00 - Welcome to Navojoa: The Land of Johan Vásquez 00:40 - Childhood and the First Steps in Soccer 03:56 - The Tough Tests: Rejections from Pachuca, Tigres, and Pumas 07:53 - The Breaking Point: "I Don't Want to Play Soccer Anymore" 10:57 - The Last Chance with Cimarrones de Sonora 14:25 - The Leap to Fame: Monterrey, Pumas, and the Mexican National Team 17:15 - "El Mariscoito": The Family Business and Johan's Tacos 21:05 - The Legacy of a Leader: Captain at Genoa and Pride of Sonora #JohanVasquez #Roots #Halftime #MexicanNationalTeam #ElTri #RoadToTheWorldCup #WorldCup2026 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://www.mediotiempo.com/ Facebook:   / somosmediotiempo   Twitter:   / mediotiempo   Instagram:   / mediotiempocom   TikTok:   / mediotiempo   SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL    / mediotiempotv12
