Mexico City.- Javier Hernández celebrates 1,314 days today since his last game with the Mexican National Team… and counting?
Beyond the conversation between “Chicharito” and Diego Cocca, and that at the slightest provocation the scorer reiterates his interest in returning to the Tricolor, he barely returned to activity and that reduces bonuses for the call against the United States, which will be revealed today.
Hernández played just 35 minutes for the LA Galaxy last Saturday after nearly six months of inactivity.
“Hopefully this will happen again in real life (return to the Tri), it would be cool, there would be little mother to repeat it, it would be super cool, don’t you think?, but hey, we’ll see. I’ll do what’s in my hands And if it happens, very lucky, very grateful, and if it doesn’t happen, to continue supporting the National Team,” he said during a broadcast on Twitch.
The coach Diego Cocca is forced to make an almost surgical call, first because the bulk of the team will be from the MX League, and then because a club like Chivas (in the voice of its coach Paunovic) has already suggested that it will retain its players since there is no obligation by FIFA.
The Concacaf Classic is played on Wednesday in Glendale, Arizona, a few hours before the penultimate Closing Date 2023, where several clubs play to qualify for the Final Phase, with all that it entails in sports and economic matters.
On Thursday the 20th, Tigres faces Puebla, on Friday the 21st Necaxa-Atlas, Mazatlán-Monterrey and Xolos-León will be played, which makes calling difficult.
Cocca has already worked with players who do not represent those teams, such as Carlos Acevedo, Néstor Araujo, Kevin Álvarez, Israel Reyes, Uriel Antuna, Carlos Rodríguez, Luis Chávez, Érick Sánchez, Marcel Ruiz, Henry Martín and Roberto de la Rosa.
The complexity increases because beyond the fact that the game against the United States is a simple friendly, Cocca received a bitter inheritance from “Tata” Gerardo Martino, no less than four games without defeating the archrival, two of them in the Finals.
