ESPN Digital presents the states of the Republic that can form an ideal team with football players from that region
Eight of the 32 states of the Mexican Republic were able to assemble an XI formed only by First Division players born in the state. Among them are Jalisco, Mexico City, Nuevo León and Sinaloa, but there are also surprises like San Luis Potosí and Veracruz, who manage to cover the quota of 11 footballers and show their own roster.
ESPN Digital It shows what the elves of each state would be like if they represented the entity in a professional manner.
Selection of Nuevo Leon
Nuevo León is the state with the Liga MX teams with the most expensive squad, Tigres and Monterrey, although the entity has few players from the area. From the universe of First Division players, the eleven players born in that area are Carlos Rodríguez, of the Rayados, and Jonathan Orozco, who now plays with the Xolos de Tijuana.
Squad of San Luis Potosí
Only two years ago, First Division football returned to San Luis Potosí. Despite this, the entity has continued to contribute players to the MX League and even has representatives in Europe, such as Eugenio Pizzuto. The figure of the team that would play at home for Alfonso Lastras would be the Monterrey goalkeeper Hugo González.
Sinaloa selection
Fishing and trade are among Sinaloa’s main economic activities, although it has also become one of the five states contributing the most football players to the First Division. The eleven players from that entity would shake more than one Liga MX team, as the figures include Erick Gutiérrez of PSV Eindhoven and Luis Romo, figure of Cruz Azul.
Selection of Sonora
In the research you did ESPN Digital12 soccer players from Sonora were found in the First Division, although none of them were goalkeepers. In case it was a selection, the team from the north of the country would have to call the goalkeeper of Cimarrones, a resident of that part of the country, and his figure would be Jesús el Tecatito Corona, currently considered one of the best players in Mexico.
Selection of Veracruz
The Port of Veracruz continues to contribute footballers to the First Division, so much so that it is one of the states that boasts an eleven made up of pure state players. The figure would be Sebastián Jurado del Cruz Azul and World Cup player Miguel Layún, now a Rayados player.
Mexico City selection
Despite being the second most resident entity, the nation’s capital has only 26 elements that could compete for a starting position in a First Division team and the position most questioned is that one. from Alfredo ‘Pollo’ Saldívar, who is currently a goalkeeper in Toluca.
Selection of Jalisco
It is the land of the goalkeepers, as six of the seven good goalkeepers are starters in the First Division. Among them are: Luis García, Jesús Corona, Guillermo Ochoa, Alfredo Talavera, Raúl Gudiño, Antonio Rodríguez and Gil Alcalá. However, it is the starting goalkeeper of the Tri who takes ownership of the three posts.
Selection of Michoacán
Despite being one of the most conflicted states nationally due to the uncertainty they go through on a daily basis, Michoacán manages to have the necessary number of elements to be one of the few entities in the country that manages to create its own 11 to form.
