The controversies and differences around the list of summoned for the Mexican National Team continue, despite the fact that Gerardo Martino has explained the reasons why it has not summoned Javier Hernandez to play with him Tri ahead of the Gold Cup, the motives continue to be questioned.

For its part, Chicharito He has also touched on the subject and has been indifferent to the causes that left him out of the call for commitments that the Aztec team has for the summer, even came to show his support as a fan of the team of the Tata.

Now that Rogelio Funes Mori has naturalized as a Mexican and the Argentine coach called him to play the Gold Cup, Hernández wished him luck in his new stage as a footballer and left aside comments that could bring controversy.

Different elements have been added to the debate of the calls and recently, Javier Aguirre, Monterrey coach, he positioned himself on the controversy and said he was tired of all the debate surrounding the LA Galaxy forward.

In his vision as a former coach of the Tri argued that it is a situation that always happens and that all the coaches had similar experiences, only with different players. One of the most remembered cases, and which in its time attracted the attention of the media and the fans, was the absence of Cuauhtémoc Blanco in Ricardo La Volpe’s selection for the 2006 World Cup.

The Basque Aguirre described the issue as Chicharito with the Tata What “The sauce” of the selection, a phenomenon that concerns the national team every time there is a relevant tournament ahead. In interview for ESPN, the 62-year-old coach shared his perspective on the issue.

Criticism of the absences in the national team classified them as the “vine” that Mexican soccer has and that the calls are to cause controversy and give something to talk about.

“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 (Milutinović), Ricardo (La Volpe), Manolo (Lapuente), to Louse (Miguel Herrera), to Chepo (José Manuel De la Torre); 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 ”.

On the other hand, he endorsed the veto of Chicharito of selection, despite the fact that Javier Hernández currently maintains a scoring streak in the MLS (Major League Soccer), not enough factor to take him to compete in the Gold Cup or as a reinforcement for the Olympics.

He even explained that Gerardo Martino has every right to decide who goes or who stays because “that’s what they pay him for.”

“I have already said, he has the power to call whoever he thinks is convenient or not; for that they pay him, to give results ”.

In his statements, he also commented that Martino “has a population of 600 players … Javier is going through 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 ”.

Even if in previous years he was the figure of the team Tricolor, The new generations of players and the performance that other players have shown caused Javier to be displaced and Martino to focus on other players.

The first lists he made Gerardo Martino For the Gold Cup tournament, Hernández’s name did appear in the call for 60 players, but as the list was reduced, Chicharito was one of the first to leave and since then he has not had another call.
