In the renewed and surprising list of players of the National selectionwhich his technician announced Jaime Lozano for your next friendly games and America Cupthe names of the Sinaloans Luis Romo and Alexis Peñabut the first is the one we see the greatest chance of remaining in the final group, which will participate in the 2026 World Cup.
Indeed, because Mochiteco Romo has been one of Jimmy Lozano’s favorites since this World Cup process began; while Peña is just beginning to receive calls to aztec paintingthanks to the great season he had with the Rayos del Necaxa.
The other point that in no way favors Peña, pride of the administration of The Goldenis that in order to earn a place in the tricolor, first he needs to be active and then try to take the place from César Montes and Johan Vázquez who are the ones who are shaping up to be the starters in the World Cup, something that we see as very complicated.
However, it is very good personally for Alexis that he is taken into account by the national coachsince it is proof that he is doing things well at his club and should make the most of this type of opportunity.
Now, Luis Romo does not have it so easy to be the starter with the tricolor either, since in his position as shield midfielder appears Edson Álvarez who will be the captain and leader of the team in the absence of the veteran Guillermo Ochoa.
We will see, then, if Romo and Peña remain on the list of 23 players, for the next friendly matches against Bolivia, Uruguay and Brazil and the Copa América. As we are from Sinaloa, we would like both to be considered, but I think that only one will be the lucky one.
On the other hand, we must not miss the fact of the dust that arose among the analysts about the non-call for the tricolor of the ‘untouchables’, Guillermo Ochoa, Hirving Lozano, Raúl Giménez, Jesús Gallardo and Henry Martín, but the coach himself clarified This is because they are seeking to initiate the generational change of the Mexican representative and in no way are they ruled out for future calls.
CLASSIC. The Águilas del América beat Chivas 2-0 in the women’s classic of the Liga MX and are taking a firm step to advance to the semifinal, since the good advantage was acquired as visitors.
For the sacred flock, it was a very hard blow because of what this match represents for the players and above all because they were very bad for their fans.
By the way, the curious thing about the first games of the quarterfinal phase was that all the visitors won. Pachuca beat León 4-1, Tigres beat Juárez 1-0 and Rayadas beat Pumas 2-0, so everything looks set for a team that already knows what it means to be a champion in the semifinal.
BITTER MOMENT. From our humble trench we send our most sincere condolences and a big hug of solidarity to the outstanding players and good friends Rafael Avendaño Sepulveda and Juan Valenzuela, for the sad moment that their respective families are experiencing.
That of Grande Avendaño for the death of his 65-year-old brother Favio Alessio in a tragic accident. His body is laid to rest in the city of Guamúchil.
While Juanito Valenzuela suffered the loss of his mother, Mrs. Guadalupe González Espinoza, 97 years old. Doña Lupita had a mass this morning and her remains were transferred to the town of Limón de los Ramos.
We only have to wish Rafa and Juanito a prompt resignation for such hard blows. May Favio Alessio and Doña Guadalupe González live and rest in peace.
REFLECTION: Start doing what is necessary, then what is possible and suddenly you will be doing the impossible.
