The 38 players that Gerardo Martino has called up for the concentration with Mexico in May and June are already at the coach’s disposal. With some absences due to injury, these are the men who will definitively play their ticket to Qatar 2022, for which it is essential that the players show that they are in a position to be useful for “Tata” in the World Cup.
The majority of those selected are the men to whom Martino has given unconditional trust from the beginning to the end of his cycle. However, it is a fact that some are experiencing an extraordinary sporting moment, while others come with a downward level, including Orbelín Pineda and Diego Lainez, who have already received the final warning from ‘Tata’.
As he anticipated from days ago, Martino isolated himself with both players who are active in Spanish football and made it clear to them that if they do not add minutes in the months prior to the World Cup, both will be definitively discarded, regardless of whether they have been part of the entire cycle with the Mexican National Team. The intention of both Pineda and Lainez is to change clubs in the market, but it will be essential that their choice comes with the total certainty that they will play if they want to play their first World Cup.
