Bofo welcomes rumors of Chivas return

Adolfo "Bofo" Bautista doesn't think badly of the rumors linking him with a return to Chivas next season. In fact, the idea of returning to the Tapatío side excites him.

"Of course I would like to return," said Bautista of the team for whom he logged 132 appearances, scoring 42 goals. "Since I left, I have always mentioned that I want to return. I left many good friends, and the youngsters paid attention to you."

While Guadalajara is an important team and most players would like to play there, "Bofo" hasn't forgetten his past experiences with the Chiapas side.

"One knows what Chivas represents and its impact, even here in Tuxtla [Chiapas]," Bautista added. "But at this moment, I owe myself to Jaguares and I am 100 percent concentrated ... The people of Chivas and [club owner Jorge] Vergara ask for my return, but I am completely involved with my team."

Bautista was at Chivas for three years, and was an integral part of its championship run in the torneo Apertura 2006. Due to problems with the Chivas coach of the time, Jose Manuel de la Torre, he was transferred to Jaguares de Chiapas in August '07. Bautista became the most important signing in the short history of the Chiapas team.
