This match will be a litmus test for the Argentine coach. In this match he will not have elements of the senior team and now he will have to use the prospects that he himself called.
A defeat would be worrisome for the helmsman, since he would not find players who can occupy a position with the Tricolor in the face of the eliminatory games and heading to the World Cup.
Despite not losing for 6 games, a considerable sector of Mexican fans is not entirely satisfied with the work of ‘Tata’.
The Mexican team has not been spectacular on the field of play, however, they still continue without losing and the most recent loss came to the United States in the final of the Gold Cup.
That is why a disaster against Ecuador could set off the alarms, in addition to ending the unbeaten streak taking into account friendly games and eliminatory games.
Another issue that does not end up leaving Gerardo Martino alone is about the starting eleven for the game.
Most of the summoned are new faces and the strategist will have to analyze who will start.
Only in the goal are two experienced men like Jonathan Orozco and Rodolfo Cota, a complicated decision to determine who is going to start.
Without a doubt, one of the players who needs to take advantage of this game to show himself is Santiago Giménez.
The Cruz Azul attacker will be one of those who will capture the most spotlight in the game, although a poor performance would end up worrying Martino ahead of the World Cup in Qatar, where, possibly, he will be one of those called up.
A good game by ‘Santi’ Giménez could put pressure on the forwards of the senior team.
Although both selective did not call their players who are active in Europe because it was not a FIFA date, the Ecuador team has two elements that are old acquaintances by the Mexican fans.
Such is the case of Michael Estrada and Renato Ibarra, from Toluca and Pachuca, respectively.
These players usually give good games when they defend the colors of their country and it is hoped that they will not be the exception.
All the attention should be focused on them, because they are fast and dangerous elements with the ball.
