In this month of November, the Mexican team will have to face a couple of dangerous encounters against the national teams of United States and Canada. El Tri will face defining matches in the Octagonal de Concacaf , but curiously Gerardo Martino bets more on his confidence than on the current situation of Mexican soccer players.
In this sense, great Aztec players have been excluded from the call despite having a great presence in their clubs. The most categorical case is with the MLS, a league in which Mexicans triumph, but none of them are taken into account.
Javier “Chicharito” Hernández a once again outside of Mexico
The star striker of Los Angeles Galaxy was once again excluded from Gerardo Martino’s list. The Mexican attacker continues to be ignored by the “Tata” despite living a great present in the United States . “Chicharito” has been one of the high points of his team and fights the table of thrashing with 16 so many . The Aztec has reached this great figure in just 20 games played.
Javier Eduardo “Chofis” López, the idol of San José Earthquakes
The former footballer of Chivas de Guadalajara has shown his talent in the United States. “Chofis” is a key piece in Matías Almeyda’s team and a few days ago was awarded as the Best Player of the club in 2021 . The player of 28 years of age accumulates 12 goals and 3 assists with the US team.
Gerardo Arteaga , a Mexican who triumphs in Belgium
The position of the left back is one of the most problematic in the world. However, Mexico has a great talent from 23 years of age that excels in the Genk . Gerardo Arteaga has played 20 matches in the season and has also had the luxury of play the UEFA Europa League.
El Tri will play against United States on Friday 14 November at TQL Stadium and then visit Canada Tuesday 16 at the Commonwealth Stadium.
