Tata Martino and another stone Why call Ormeño and not Sepúlveda?

Santiago Ormeño is not in Tata Martino’s plans for the Mexican National Team, made it clear a few days ago by stating that an attacker “not only gets called up for goals”, but now he even wondered if there is some kind of media campaign from the Puebla striker, comparing him to Ángel Sepúlveda, from Querétaro, who have the same six goals in the Guardians 2021.

Why consider Ormeño and not Sepúlveda if they have the same goals? I understand that there are soccer players out there who attract more attention, but there are many more facets to observeHow does the development of the game deteriorate, how does it dive into small spaces. In the Gold Cup, we will play a leading role in all games, so we need to see who plays better with a 5 meter space than the one who explodes with 30 meters, ”he said.

I don’t spend time with Funes Mori: Tata

“It doesn’t depend on me, I’m just trying to figure out who has the chance to play for Mexico. I do not spend my time in Funes Mori because there are no legal requirements right now to be in Selection, but if it is feasible at that point, we will of course evaluate it, ”he said.

‘The best do not always go to Selection’

Asked about some of the calls for the next FIFA date when they will meet Wales and Costa Rica on March 27-30, Martino explained that a Selection is not only reserved for those who are going through the best of times, but also there are football players who cannot be thrown away because of talent despite the lack of the desired regularity or presence.

When I started as a national team manager I made the mistake of saying I was there to pick the best, but it’s not absoluteWe called Chucky when he was a substitute in Napoli, but it never occurred to me to exclude him from the national team because of his qualities and potential. The reality is, we don’t always call the 23 that are betterSome are probably not at their best, but there are some that you can’t leave out of the Mexican national team, ”he said.
