The coach of the Mexican national team, Gerardo Martino, announced the squad for the preparation match for the World Cup in Qatar against the Paraguayan national team, however, The journalist David Faitelson was not satisfied and sent a message to ‘Tata’.

And the fact is that the ESPN journalist did not hesitate to manifest himself on social networks to question the call and criticize, above all, the absence of the winger Alejandro Zendejas who has been doing well with America.

“I don’t understand Gerardo Martino. He has a setup game. Alejandro Zendejas is in a great moment. Call him and watch him or at least motivate him for the next cycle. Oh, my God with the coaches…Only they understand each other”, Faitelson wrote on his Twitter account.

Criticism rained down on ‘Tata’ for the absence of Zendejas

Another who criticized Martino for not calling up the winger from América was Luis García, a former soccer player and analyst at Azteca Deportes, because stated that he does not understand how the coach can leave a footballer like him out.

“ The non-call of Alejandro Zendejas is strange to understand”, wrote the ‘Doctor’ on his Twitter account.

What is most striking is that Martino made his call with only soccer players who play in Liga MX, so the absence of Zendejas was even more surprising, since he arrived at América accumulates 8 goals in 29 matches.

The national team of Mexico will play a friendly match against its counterpart from Paraguay next Tuesday 29 of August in what will be the first meeting of preparation to fine-tune details for the World Cup.
