Alejandro Zendejas generated a lot of controversy for his decision to play for the United States national team. The Club América player preferred to wear the colors of the Stars and Stripes. However, He still hasn’t closed the door on El Tri.

“I am not closing the door (to the Mexican team) because any player who has the possibility of representing more than one country is welcome, there are many players in the world who do it and have done it, So why can’t I be someone else?“said Zendejas for TUDN.

The Águilas del América forward has been recovering from an injury he suffered at the beginning of the season. The Mexican waits resume his rhythm to be taken into account again at the national team level.

“I am preparing in the best way to be ready in case they call me for the national team.… it’s more about focusing on myself, I’m coming back from the injury and I have to get sharp to be in the national team, I have to be good on the field so right now I’m worrying about that, about returning to my best moment, I thought that before the injury I was having a good time“he added.

Zendejas had already made a decision

In the pastAlejandro Zendejas was called up by the United States team for a double date for the Concacaf Nations League. On social networks, the América player expressed the reasons for his decision to represent the American team.

“Making a decision about my international career is very difficult, and I believe that you should follow your heart. Mine tells me that my future is representing the United States (…) I am excited for this next chapter and to work towards earning a spot with the USMNT. Thank you all for your incredible support“Zendejas wrote.

What may have made Zendejas change his mind is his absence from the calls, despite having achieved important achievements in the Mexican tournament. However, his “change” of federation is in doubt because the footballer already has more than five games with the United States first team. This could disqualify Zendejas from his desire to return to the Mexico team.
