Gerardo Martino seems to have put an end to Chicharito’s novel.
The Argentine strategist would have closed the doors of the Mexican National Team to Javier Hernández. However, there are still voices that demand the return of El Tri’s historic scorer, even within the “Tata” group.
According to reports by journalist Miguel Ángel Arizpe, within the Mexican National Team there would be a group of three soccer players who , putting aside their differences, would like have the support of the Los Angeles Galaxy attacker. Although the journalist did not reveal details of the players in question, he assured that these individuals could stand up to the Argentine.
What will Gerardo Martino do?
In case these reports are true, the discontent of some players could cause problems within the locker room , but it really is difficult for Gerardo Martino to give his arm to twist with the subject of Javier Hernández. In fact, given the complications of Raúl Jiménez and Rogelio Funes Mori, “Tata” does not rule out playing without a center forward in the World Cup.
For now, Chicharito continues to put pressure on the courts. The Mexican has just scored a double in the MLS and also made it clear that his presence in El Tri depends on the Argentine coach. Javier Hernández has not been called up since 2019. After three years of absence, the World Cup in Qatar could be an epic stage for his return and also for to fill a void in the attack of a team that is looking with looking forward to his fifth game.
