Gerardo Martino has options for young players to decide the future Mexican national team in view of the next World Cup
Considering the ages of the current goalkeepers Mexican team, apparently none of them would have a place in the tricolor in view of the next World Cup and thus the ‘Tata’ Gerardo Martino I would analyze some young archers who would ensure safety under the three poles and were an option at the generational change of the national bow.
That would seem crazy Guillermo Ochoa, who has enjoyed the fondness of the last national coaches, would have a safe place on the Aztec team for Qatar 2022, as he would make it to the World Cup at the age of 37.
However, nothing is impossible in Mexican football, in which National selection, the goal might be the area where more options can be opened up for players pushing hard in the Liga MX.
From about 15 years to the present, Mexico has become a natural trainer of goalkeepers, so over time this country has produced great archers such as Jorge Campos, Pablo Larios, Oswaldo Sánchez, Óscar Pérez, Jose de Jesus Corona and its own Guillermo Ochoa, among many more.
But with two years ahead of the next World Cup, it is time to make way for the youth and in this area there are great prospects for taking over the national arc in the near future.
Since the arrival of ‘Tata’ Martino to this country, to take the reins of the Mexican team (January 2019), the national coach committed to making visions with visits to the matches of the Liga MX, with the support of its employees.
This is how Martino immediately noticed the people with experience to fill the position, as to date, the Argentinian strategist has identified more with goalkeepers over 30 years, which he may have chosen in every call-up. in an effort to ensure your safe bow.
Despite everything, it is time to think not only about Qatar 2022, but also about the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by Canada, the United States and Mexico.
So far the big favorite of the ‘Tata’ Martino guarding that the target has been the tricolor Guillermo Ochoa, but he has also noticed other veterans, such as Alfredo Talavera, Jonathan Orozco, Rodolfo Cota and Hugo González, who were considered in concentrations in the year 2020.
HERE IS THE NEXT TRI ARQUERO
But think ahead Gerardo Martino and his people have seen some young and not so young goalkeepers, some of whom have become regulars on the minor teams.
It is the case of Hugo Gonzalez, 30 years old and who will also appear on the next Tri list. González has qualities, but he still has a long way to go to consider himself a safe goalkeeper.
The same, Rodolfo Cota, April 33, was already called to Tri by Juan Carlos Osorio and played a game against Ireland, while the ‘Tata’ Martino He called him for a few friendlies in the United States, although he saw no action.
On the other hand, the necaxista Luis Malagon seems to be happy Gerardo MartinoBut the 23-year-old goalkeeper was not very active at Monarcas Morelia and is now a starting goalkeeper for the Rayos.
Sebastian Jurado, 22 years old and who had already been subpoenaed by the ‘Tata’ Martino, is one of the reserve goalkeepers at Cruz Azul and has only added minutes as a cement producer with the Sub-20 Branch in addition to the semi-final against Pumas and the Concacaf Champions League.
Likewise, Chivas has in it Raúl Gudiño, 24, with experience in Portugal and Cyprus, hope for the arc of the Mexican team, where he has experience with minor teams, he was even Olympic selected and has also been called Gerardo Martino for some friendly matches.
While starting as a substitute for Antonio Rodríguez, he won the confidence of Víctor Manuel Vucetich and finished as a starter in Chivas.
Jose HernandezThe 23-year-old is another goalkeeper with a bright future. He made his debut with the rojinegros in March 2018 and while performing regularly with the basic forces, he has international experience with the U-17, U-20, U-21 and U-23 teams.
NO POSSIBILITIES OF ARRIVAL
On the other hand, though the gatekeeper of the Gallos, Gil Alcala, 27, stood out as one of the most valuable elements in Querétaro, it does not seem to be in the taste of the ‘Tata’ Martino.
The same thing happens with another player who ‘painted’ a few years ago only to reach the Mexican National Team starting goal at one point: Manuel Lajud. However, the 26-year-old goalkeeper lost himself from the football arena, as although he had good performances defending the Xolos de Tijuana with his new team, Santos Laguna, he is not playing.
