Without a doubt, one of the most absent with the Mexican team during the 2021 was Javier “Chicharito” Hernández . The Los Angeles Galaxy attacker was excluded from major tournaments and did not have the opportunity to wear the Mexican colors despite his great form . However, the historical Hugo Sánchez considers that “Chicharito” should be part of El Tri for the next matches.

“ Chicharito has all the sizes and all the joy and enthusiasm for continue in the Mexican national team, especially now that Raul Jiménez is recovering his level of high competition ”, explained Hugo Sánchez in a statement to ESPN, compiled by Marca.

The Mexican attacker had a great second half of 2021. Javier Hernández scored 17 goals with the Los Angeles Galaxy and was placed as one of the top scorers of the regular season. Despite his performance, Gerardo Martino decided not to summon him , even after acknowledging that he was at his worst year in command of the Mexican national team.

Under these circumstances and taking into account that El Tri needs to change its image in the next matches, Hugo Sánchez welcomes the possible inclusion of former Real Madrid in the calls.
