Mexico City.— Aldo Rocha, one of the pillars of Diego Cocca in the two-time Atlas championship, is one of the novelties in the Mexican National Team that will face the United States next Wednesday in Glendale, Arizona.
El Tricolor published the call for 23 footballers for the friendly game against the archrival. In it, elements such as the goalkeeper Luis Ángel Malagón (América), the full-backs Julián Araujo (Barcelona) and Omar Campos (Santos), the center-back Víctor Guzmán (Monterrey), as well as the midfielders Ozziel Herrera (Atlas) and Alan Cervantes ( Saints).
There are no players from Tigres, a club that on the 20th (one after the Tricolor game) disputes Date 16, when receiving Puebla.
Although the Chivas coach, Veljko Paunovic, had suggested that he would not give up players, Guadalajara finally lent four players in the figures of Gilberto Sepúlveda, Fernando Beltrán, Roberto Alvarado and Alexis Vega.
The footballers will focus on the High Performance Center as they finish their participation with their clubs on Date 15. On Monday afternoon they will leave for Arizona, facing the commitment that will be held at the State Farm Stadium, at 8:00 p.m.: 22 hours, Central Mexico time.
Of course, experienced players like Néstor Araujo, Jesús Gallardo, Carlos Rodríguez, Alexis Vega and Henry Martín were also called up by Cocca.
