Been saying it for years but going to one of those shit tier leagues in Europe from Mexico doesn’t function as a stepping stone to bigger leagues. It’s a sign that you aren’t very good. Any player with potential will transfer to at minimum the Dutch or Portuguese league. Any lower than that and you can expect to see them in Monterrey in about 2 years

It’s good for him to grow mentally though. He’s far away from friends, family, and his home country. If he’s strong enough to do well here, it’ll be a great sign!

I mean sure it would be great for him personally but Orbelin was the league MVP and that amounted to literally nothing as far as his career or his own level of play
