The ‘Vasco’ Aguirre indicated that there will always be controversy around the calls and now it is the turn of Martino with the ‘Chicharito’
Javier Aguirre said he was convinced that some issues around the Mexican National Team, such as the non-call of Javier Hernandez, they arouse controversy and are the ‘sauce’ of Tri.
‘Chicharito’, forward for the MLS Galaxy, goes through a great scoring stage. Last weekend he scored a double against the San Jose Earthquakes and with that he reached 10 goals in this stage of the tournament.
However, Gerardo Martino is firm in not summoning him, and it has become clear that under his mentorship the Guadalajara will not reach Tri.
The ‘Vasco’ Aguirre did not want to enter into controversy on the subject: “It would be necessary to know exactly what is behind the scenes. It is very difficult to speak without information. It is very difficult to really know at what moment this relationship between the national coach and the player is, or with the players. “
“I have already said, he (‘Tata’ Martino) has the power to call whoever he thinks is convenient or not. He is paid for that, to give results. And he has a population of 600 players … Javier is going through for a sweet moment in terms of goals, in terms of streak, and coincides with the absence of Raúl (Jiménez), with the injury of (Alan) Polished“.
However, very much in his style, the ‘Vasco’ Aguirre pointed out: “That is the sauce of the National Team; It happened to me, it happened to (Juan Carlos) Osorio, it happened to (Enrique) Meza, it happened to Bora, Ricardo, Manolo (Lapuente), ‘Piojo’ (Herrera), ‘Chepo’ (De tower); it happened to everyone. There are too many and they are missing, and there is debate. That is what it is about, to generate controversy. Any call, or not called, generates this, it is what gives life to soccer “.
Javier Aguirre stressed that not all that people ask for can be there and that this controversy around the calls for the Mexican National Team will never end.
Sterile debate around the naturalized
In another matter, Javier Aguirre referred to the arrival of the Argentine and naturalized Mexican, Rogelio Funes Mori, to Tri.
“I have been, I will be, I am a judge and a party. What can I say about the naturalized? My father became a naturalized Mexican, my mother became a naturalized Mexican. I love this country; in the two World Cups I had players who were not born in Mexico and who they love and live in this country: Guillemo Franco and Gabriel Caballero live here, their children were born here “.
He maintained: “Rogelio loves this country, he has been among us for years, he is one more; I do not see why he does not have the same rights and obligations that any Mexican has. He became a naturalized Mexican, it is a sterile debate … In the end, if he is summoned to the National Team for something it will be “.
He asked that once he arrived, “later” he be required: “I am convinced, because I have been there, that you have to let him work. I only wish him luck in the Mexican National Team and I will support the Mexican National Team all my life. “.
