Jesús ‘Tecatito’ Corona left the field as a precaution in the tie between Sevilla and Celta de Vigo, causing some concern in the Mexican National Team having to leave the pitch due to cramps.
Being the first starting match for the former player of Porto and second with the sevillista shirt, Corona could only play 71′ minutes by making some gestures of pain in his legs and forcing Nemanja Gudelj to replace him in the match.
Pablo Sanz, technical assistant to Julen Lopetegui, assured at the press conference after the match that Corona’s substitution was due to physical issues and to take care of him due to his commitments with the Mexican National Team. “ Tecatito was the subject of cramps, it had been a long time without doing 90 minutes in a row and in the end it was that “, commented the assistant.
On the other hand, Sanz himself pointed out the value of ‘Tecatito’ in his new Sevilla team and added that in the absence of rhythm in Porto could affect the Mexican. “Yes, we expect a lot from Jesús Coron and I’m sure he’s going to help us a lot, he’s a great player. Today did not end because of the continuity he had in Porto, he has not been able to play several games, today he left with a cramp, but we expect a lot from him”, concluded Pablo Sanz, technical assistant.
Jesus Corona is summoned for the next triple date of the Concacaf Qualifiers where Mexico will have to face Jamaica , Costa Rica and Panama.
