Gerardo Martino has options for young players to decide the next Mexican national team in front of the next World Cup
Given the age of the team’s current goalkeepers The Mexican team, it seems that none of them would have a place in the tricolor for the next World Cup and therefore “Dad” Gerardo Martino I would analyze some young archers who would guarantee safety under the three sticks and would be an option in the generational change of the national bow.
It would seem crazy that Guillermo Ochoa, who enjoyed the predilection of the last national coaches, would have a safe place in the Aztec team for Qatar 2022, since he would reach the World Cup at the age of 37.
However, nothing is impossible in Mexican football, in which National selection, the goal is probably the area where more options can be opened for players who put strong pressure in Liga MX.
From about 15 years ago, Mexico became a natural goalkeeper coach, so that over time, this country has thrown great archers, such as Jorge Campos, Pablo Larios, Oswaldo Sánchez, Óscar Pérez, Jose de Jesus Corona and his Guillermo Ochoa, among many others.
But, with two years to go until the next World Cup, it is time to give way to young people and in this area there are great prospects to take over the national arc in the near future.
Since his arrival “Dad” Martino in this country, take the reins The Mexican team (January 2019), the national coach was dedicated to making visions with visits to the matches from Liga MX, with the support of its collaborators.
This is how Martino immediately noticed the experienced people to fill the position, because so far, the Argentine strategist has identified more with the goalkeepers over 30 years old, who are the ones he chose in each call, maybe in an effort to ensure your bow is secure.
Despite all this, it is time to think not only about Qatar 2022, but also about the 2026 World Cup, which will be organized by Canada, the United States and Mexico.
So far, the big favorite of “Dad” Martino to guard the purpose of the tricolor was Guillermo Ochoa, but also noticed other veterans, such as Alfredo Talavera, Jonathan Orozco, Rodolfo Cota and Hugo González, who were considered in concentrations during 2020.
HERE IS THE NEXT TRI ARQUERO
However, thinking ahead, Gerardo Martino and his men saw young and not-so-young goalkeepers, many of whom became regulars on minor teams.
It is the case Hugo Gonzalez, 30 years old and which will appear on the next Tri list. González has qualities, but he still has a long way to go to consider himself a safe goalkeeper.
Also, Rodolfo Cota, 33 ‘April’, has already been called up to the Tri by Juan Carlos Osorio and played a game against Ireland, while “Dad” Martino He called him for some friendlies in the United States, although he saw no action.
On the other hand, the non-boxer Luis Malagon seems to like it Gerardo MartinoBut the 23-year-old goalkeeper was not very active with Monarcas Morelia and is now a starting goalkeeper for Rayos.
Sebastian Jurado, Aged 22 and who has already been summoned by “Dad” Martino, is one of the backup goalkeepers at Cruz Azul and added just a few minutes as a cement producer with the Sub-20 Branch, in addition to the Semifinal against Pumas and the Concacaf Champions League.
Similarly, Chivas has in Raúl Gudiño, 24 years old, with experience in Portugal and Cyprus, towards a hope for the bow The Mexican team, where he has experience in minor teams, was even selected to the Olympics and has already been called up by Gerardo Martino for some friendly.
Although he started as a substitute for Antonio Rodríguez, he won the trust of Víctor Manuel Vucetich and ended up as a starter at Chivas.
Jose HernandezThe 23-year-old is another goalkeeper with a good future. He started in March 2018 with rojinegros and, although he has evolved 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, although the keeper Gallos, Gil Alcala, 27, was noted as one of the most valuable items in Querétaro, it seems that it is not in the taste “Dad” Martino.
The same thing happens with another player who a few years ago “painted” to achieve the original goal of the Mexican national team at one point: Manuel Lajud. However, the 26-year-old goalkeeper lost from the football arena, because, although he had good performances defending Xolos de Tijuana, with his new team, Santos Laguna, he does not play.
