Given how well they fitted into the group and how they consolidated their position in Gabriel Milito's system, we can say that Chivas' signings for the 2025 Apertura were more than successful, and one of the most influential players at decisive moments was Richard Ledezma.
His arrival from European soccer caused a lot of excitement, especially because of his experience in the Champions League and his outstanding reading of the game, which was reflected in each of his interventions with and without the ball. Whether playing inside, outside, or as a wing-back, the number 37 actively participated in building up play, as evidenced by his six assists in the tournament, confirming him as the best assist provider on the Guadalajara team.
Ledezma started in 11 of the 15 games he played in the AP25 Regular Season, where he mainly linked up with Luis Romo, Erick Gutiérrez, Efraín Álvarez, and Roberto Alvarado. Alongside them, he contributed versatility and offensive power, which were key to the Rebaño Sagrado's great finish to the tournament, winning seven of their last eight games in the regular season.
Richard even did his part to help Armando González win the individual scoring title, assisting him on the most important goal of the semester: a cross against Rayados for the header that sealed his status as the AP25's top scorer.
There is no doubt that 'Richy' has landed on his feet at Chivas. With the Final Phase just around the corner, Ledezma's presence will be one of the main factors in Guadalajara having a great Liguilla.
