Jaime Lozano, coach of the Mexican team of the U-23 or Olympic category, this Friday sent strong criticism of the striker’s decision Chivas de Guadalajara, Alexis Vega, after forgo a possible call to the microcycle which will be fulfilled in February in preparation for the next Concacaf pre-Olympic, qualifying for the football tournament in the rescheduled Tokyo Olympics 2021.
After being delayed for a year due to the coronavirus or the Covid-19 pandemic, the Concacaf elimination match It will take place from March 18 to 30, 2021 in the capital of Jalisco. The matches take place in two stadiums: Jalisco (Atlas) and Akron (Chivas). Less and less is missing, so the helmsman is already finalizing the details of his call, repeating that the Holy flock It would be the main loser in its original list in which it has nine rojiblancos elements.
“Jimmy” LozanoAs the former midfielder trained at UNAM’s Pumas quarry and the current national helmsman is known, he acknowledged in an exclusive interview with the Fox Sports network that “the player in Mexico gets little chance of minutes, now it is also a matter of the player, who must take advantage of opportunities when they are given. But it seems to me that sports also take place in the United States, not just football, but they are growing, they are making their careers, they are taking off and they are getting all the facilities to go abroad right now, in Mexico. it’s much harder the player is very expensive in mexico also it’s not that easy for a team to bet on paying that much for a player starting to excel and the main point i see right now is that that in the United States there are all the facilities for the player so that you can leave and in Mexico it is a bit more complicated and especially not economical for anything else“.
The Tri Olímpico strategist added during his speech that “what worries me then? The truth is, how to worry, nothing. (Gerardo) Torrado asked me the other day: what do you need? (answered 🙂 Players and time to train and it’s what we’re looking for, what I need is that and I am grateful to him and everyone“He argued that”All teams are doing their best, all teams are also looking for the times, some arriving with eight days, others with more to Mexico to prepare for this pre-Olympic period. And we have analyzed each of the rivals, each with concentration, each with a game, trying to see what they do, what they stop doing, just like they do with us. I think so as far as we can join the team and not depend on one or two, nothing more, we will be a very strong team and that we can show great football in Guadalajara“.
Lozano, after being consulted about the specific case of Alexis Vega, immediately criticized him by revealing that “yes, I have already spoken with Alexis (Vega), we exchanged points of view. I let him know my feelings and here we have Beto (Alberto García Aspe) who gave everything for the national team and are the players Mexico needs: someone who doesn’t think about whether I’m going to hurt myself or not. We know it’s part of and happened twice – unfortunately – with him, but we need players who are focused on making the national team name as high as possible. I’ve already spoken to him, of course we need him to clear his mind a little, to give everything to Chivas, but we also know that the national team can give him a lot and he can give him a lot to the national team. Everything is discussed with him, we are fine and fine, because I saw him in the last game and for me he was one of the best“.
