In recent days there has been a lot of talk about the performance of the Mexican team in the Concacaf Octagonal. El Tri has not had an optimal performance under Gerardo Marino and there has been a lot of talk about his possible departure from the Aztec team. One of the greatest critics has been David Faitelson, however, the controversial journalist considers that Mexico’s solution is not to get out of “Tata”.
“I don’t think it’s time to think about cutting the continuity of the Argentine coach
. It is true that the Mexican team has lost its way footballingly and that at this level it is not enough to transcend in the World Cup (…) Gerardo Martino’s numbers are good, very good, I would say, but the issue of soccer level was an issue that dropped dramatically in recent months. today, the compass has been lost. The team is lost“, Faitelson sentenced in his ESPN column.
Gerardo Marino has directed 51 games in charge of the Mexican team . During that number of matches El Tri has been victorious in 38 duels, in addition to 8 draws. The Argentine strategist has only requested 7 games, but 3 of them have been against the United States in the same year. Without a doubt, it is a huge stain on his record and Faitelson highlighted it.
“Mexico qualifies for the World Cup because it is an obligation. This team has not been able to beat the United States in four consecutive appearances.
The final of the Gold Cup and the Concacaf Nations League was lost, and worst of all: nothing is played for, the team seems lost . He dominates the ball and the times of the game because his rivals are mediocre or bad “, he explained.
Miguel Herrera should not be El Tri’s “plan B”
In recent days the possibility has arisen that Miguel Herrera will assume the reins of the Mexican team. Many ask for it under the role of “the savior” and the Mexican strategist himself has entered that game by saying that will always be available . However, Faitelson considers that the Aztec should not be an option mainly because of his relationship with Tigres de la UANL, his current team in Liga MX.

“Miguel Herrera is the ‘beloved’ of many specialists and also of many fans. Herrera did a great job when he had the opportunity to lead the team in the World Cup of 2014, but today he is busy at Tigres and it is due to Tigres. He cannot, or should not, be an option when there is a contract involved ”, he concluded.
