The match doesn’t fall on a FIFA-sanctioned date, forcing present supervisor Gerardo Martino to depend upon an all-Liga MX squad. The vast majority of the roster will not be anticipated to make the ultimate World Cup squad, calling into query the aim of the sport. 

“It is one thing the place we should not create expectations only for the sake of it in these video games,” Herrera mentioned throughout a information convention.

 “For me these are the video games that do not work, as a result of 80 p.c of those that are within the call-up should not going to be within the World Cup. The rival is excellent, but it surely’s not a sport that’s going to arrange the nationwide crew for the World Cup.”

The midweek sport additionally places a pressure on gamers of the Mexican league, as they’re anticipated to return to their particular person golf equipment in time to function for the weekend matches. The winter World Cup has already compelled Liga MX right into a tighter schedule, seeing gamers compete each three days. 

The shortage of restoration durations might induce accidents, and trigger a possible downside for Mexico in Qatar.  

However regardless of Piojo’s opinion over the problematic pleasant, he praised Tigres figures Sebastian Cordova and Jesus Angulo for being included within the roster, and questioned the absence of Diego Reyes. 

“It appears to me that they’re good, they’re fixed. I feel that the one who has not been given justice in the mean time, due to what the final match has been and what he has performed on this match, is Diego Reyes,”  he declared. “I feel he’s doing properly. Reyes was already within the nationwide crew, he already had World Cups.”

Mexico will journey to Atlanta, Georgia on Tuesday earlier than competing towards Paraguay on Wednesday. The crew will even host two extra friendlies in September, through the designated FIFA date, towards Peru and Colombia in California.
