El Tri of Gerardo Martino will have one last game in 2021 . The Mexican team will close the current year with a match against Chile on December 8 . As it is not a FIFA date, the “Tata” will have to resort to other unusual pieces among which highlights the inclusion of Marcelo Flores , Arsenal footballer.
The game will take place at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas . So far there have been six players who have confirmed their attendance to the duel, but in the last minutes the name of Marcelo Flores was added.
The talented footballer of England’s Arsenal will have the opportunity to wear the colors of the Mexican national team in its highest category. The presence of Flores was unknown until the club itself announced that it granted permission to its player to be part of Gerardo Martino’s call.
