Jaime Lozano, coach al The Mexican team in the U-23 or Olympic category, sent this strong criticism on Friday against the decision taken by the striker from Chivas de Guadalajara, Alexis Vega, after give up a possible microcycle call which will be completed in February in preparation for the next Pre-Olympic concacaf, qualifying for the rescheduled football tournament Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games.
After being postponed for a year due to coronavirus or Covid-19 pandemic, Concacaf elimination contest It will take place between March 18 and 30, 2021 in the capital Jalisco. The matches will 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 and reiterated that The sacred flock It would be the main loser in its original list, in which it has nine rojiblancos elements.
“Jimmy” Lozano, being known as the former midfielder trained in the Pumas career of UNAM and the current national helmsman, he admitted in an exclusive interview with the Fox Sports network that “the player from Mexico has little chance to have minutes, now it is also a problem of the player, who must take advantage of opportunities when they are offered. But it seems to me that the sport also takes place in the United States, not only football, but they grow up, make their careers, grow up and are offered all the facilities at this time to go abroad, in Mexico it is much more difficult, the player is very Expensive in Mexico is also not so easy for a team to bet on paying so much for a player who is starting to excel and the most important point I see at the moment is that, that there are all the facilities for the player in the United States so you can leave, and in Mexico it’s a little more complicated and, above all, economically, not for anything else“.
The Tri Olímpico strategist, during his speech, added that “then what worries me? The truth is that how to worry, nothing. (Gerardo) Torrado asked me the other day: what do you need? (answer:) Players and time for training and that’s what we’re looking for, that’s what I need and I am grateful to him and to everyone“He claimed that”All teams make a great effort, all teams are looking for the times, some will arrive in eight days, others with more in Mexico to try to prepare for this pre-Olympics And we analyzed each of the rivals, each who has concentration, each who has a game, we try to see what they do, what they don’t do anymore, just like they do with us. So I think as long 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 will be able to exhibit excellent football in Guadalajara“.
Lozano, after being consulted on the specific case of Alexis Vega, sent him a direct explosion of criticism, revealing that “yes, I’ve already talked to Alexis (Vega), I’ve changed my mind. I made my feelings known to him and here we have Beto (Alberto García Aspe) who gave his all for the national team and are the players Mexico needs: someone who doesn’t think about whether or not I’ll get hurt. We know it’s part of him and it happened twice – unfortunately – to him, but we need focused players to put the name of the national team as high as possible. We have already talked to him, obviously we need him to let his head down a bit, to give everything to Chivas, but we also know that the national team can give a lot to the national team. Everything is discussed with him, we are well and good, because I saw him in the last game and for me he was one of the best“.
