The 27-year-old striker has not been considered by the Mexican and Peruvian national teams, despite his recent good performances.
With a triplet before FC Juárez, Puebla striker Santiago Ormeño, a Mexican-Peruvian national, was again placed in the revolt over the wearing of a national T-shirt, Because he was not considered by the coach Gerardo Martino as Tri’s representative nor by the coach of the Inca team, Ricardo Gareca.
Santiago Ormeño has four goals after six games and is in second place in the scoreboard, heard only under Argentine striker Alexis Cano from Toluca, who has five goals.
The Strip striker had not scored against Chivas since day oneHowever, he worked hard in the 4-0 final, which ultimately meant the second victory of the tournament for his cause.
Santiago Ormeño gained fame after being Puebla’s representative in the MX eLiga and performed other functions in the current scheme of Nicolás Lacarmón, who required a greater sacrifice to become an assistant.
In Peru, they watched the 27-year-old striker, who is living his first year as a footballer in the highest Mexican football circuitBecause the people close to the Peruvian coach, Ricardo Gareca, convinced Ormeño to obtain the nationality of that South American country, because his grandfather, Walter Ormeño, originates from those latitudes.
With two passports, the footballer declared a few months ago with ESPN that his decision will be in favor of the first representative who will call him.
“They are my two countries (Mexico and Peru) and I think maybe no one is calling me, but I will go with the first one who calls me and is interested in me,” said the attack center.
Notwithstanding the above, Sources close to the Mexican national team assured ESPN Digital that the “camotero” striker is not in the orbit of “Tata” Gerardo Martino.
Although Santiago Ormeño continues to play his role in Mexican football, as in the previous tournament he scored seven goals between the league and Liguilla and in the current Guard1anes 2021 he scored four, the coach in sight is Ricardo Gareca, who did not deny that Ormeño could reach the Peruvian national team in the future.
In turn, the coaching staff of the Mexican national team does not take this into account, because it is not the type of gunner who fills the eyes of Gerardo Martino, who already has very defined strikers, from Raúl Jiménez to ‘Chucky’ Lozano, ‘Tecatito’ Corona and José Juan Macías himself, to name the most important.
