Jesús ‘Tecatito’ Corona presented an important problem for the Mexican National Team and for Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino, since he himself was injured and in principle would be out of action in what will be a new edition of the most important competition at the national team level, the World Cup that will be held in Qatar this very day 2022.

So much so that from Chivas de Guadalajara they placed Alexis Vega as the substitute for ‘Tecatito’ for the World Cup. However, now from Cruz Azul they are doing the same, but in their case they are nominating Uriel Antuna , a cement player who could fulfill Corona’s offensive function within El Tri.

The person in charge of this was Raúl ‘Potro’ Gutiérrez, coach of Cruz Azul, who explained how Antuna should play within the team commanded by the Argentine coach ‘Tata ‘Martino.

“There are some crazy people who say that (Alexis) Vega has to play nine, who knows how they see football, but (Uriel) Antuna must replace Tecatito, he is always unbalanced, his consistency can be criticized, but he does it very well”, he commented el Potro en Línea de 4, program of TUDN.

Now, with these words, ‘Potro’ Gutiérrez, who arrived at Cruz Azul after a thrashing by Club América, we see how he put all the responsibility on Martino’s shoulders, who will have to make a decision, whether to take Alexis Vega, Uriel Antuna or wait for Jesús Corona, although of course, he can call another player to comply said role.

Jointly, the same strategist from Cruz Azul explained in the same interview as it was that was in charge of improving the performance within the cement machine within the Apertura 1200 of Liga MX, competition where he is fighting in the Repechage against Club León.

“The adjectives They are never good and I have not mentioned that word (Cruzazulear) because it is disrespectful. Within those proposals that we have is that the 10 the first minutes and the last four of a match are not negotiated“, said the coach.
