Mexico was left without one of its figures for Qatar: Tata Martino will not take Chicharito Hernández

The world is around the corner, and while some put their clubs first by thinking about the big event that will take place next November, others are starting to understand that they will not give the gift to Qatar. A case that surprises locals and others has to do with a figure from Mexico, a rival of Argentina in group C.

Who? None other than Saverio Chicarito Hernandez, a striker who with the Mexican shirt has 109 games and 52 goals. Although he hasn’t been part of a call for the Aztec squad since September 2019, the Los Angeles Galaxy man kept hopes of giving the surprise on the list of 26. In the end, it can’t be.

Depending on the site Half the timethe striker with a past in Real Madrid and Manchester United allegedly had a video call with Gerardo Martino, in which they discussed Hernández’s present and his chances of entering the call-up for Qatar. The Nanny dropped his thumb.

The conversation would take place on good terms and Rosario’s man would explain to the attacker that, today, it is far from coming into your plans. The surprising thing is that there are still several months to go until the World Cup, but Chicarito You already know that you will miss the big date.

It’s 34 years for Hernández, who will surely be looking at his last chance to represent Mexico in a World Cup will pass him by. His last calls, which took place back in 2019, came from Martino’s hand. Since then, he has not been included in any Concacaf Nations League or Gold Cup roster.

Thus the paths of the attacker and Tri begin to separate definitively after more than 12 years. Two titles and three World Cup participations for the native of Guadalajara, who saw his last minutes with the Mexico shirt almost three years agoin a friendly against the United States.

Now Hernández must focus on the MLS, a championship that sees his team in seventh place in the Western Conference. Chicarito He scored 7 goals in the North American championship and next Wednesday, 3 August, he will face Chivas in the final of the friendly League Cup tournament.

Mexico and Martino, on the other hand, put their heads in the next engagement in August, where the Aztecs will compete against Paraguay in another World Cup preparation match. Rosario’s TD thus begins to define who will be the players who will accompany him to the lands of Qatar at the end of this year.

It should be remembered that Mexico earned their place in the World Cup after a turbulent run in qualifiers at Concacaf. Now, El Tri’s goal is to hit the finish line in Group C of the World Cup, which also includes Poland, Saudi Arabia and, of course, the Argentine national team.

Without Chicharito, but with several surprises

If one thing is clear, it is that Mexico hasn’t had a hiatus for some time. After a good start to Martino’s cycle when he was crowned in the 2019 Gold Cup, it was all a climb for El Tri. With two runners up in between, Mexico’s passage in qualifying was not the bestand various media put Tata under the magnifying glass.

Days ago Martino spoke with TUDN, and left the following words: “The list is now 26, we had 38 and seven more are fighting, there is room for struggle and for surprises. We have to see how the season starts, but I would dare to say that (against Paraguay, 31/8 in the United States) there will be a new face“.

A) Yes, the TD made it clear that his wrist does not tremble when he kicks the scoreboard, which he has demonstrated on more than one occasion since his arrival in Mexican lands. From the summons of Rogelio Funes Mori to the conflict that cost Carlos Salcedo his place in the national team, some of Martino’s successes in Mexico.

Now the rosary is starting to leave behind a very irregular semester, and the goal of preparing well in these few months before the World Cup hangs. El Tata wants to make history at the head of El Tri and for this he would once again bet on the surprise.
