As the Qatar 2022 World Cupis getting closer and closer, one of the must-watch teams are Mexico. And, their coach Gerardo Martino knows it. Thatās why, as he stated, he wants their best strikers ready for the upcoming tournament. However, Chicharito Hernandez is not beign comtemplated for neither the friendly games nor the world tournament.
This situation has taken a toll on Martino, as Hernandez is one of the top scorers in the current Major League Soccer season with 15 goals scored for Los Angeles Galaxy. And, āEl Tricolorā are missing a key player in the center forward position that secures goals for Mexico.
And, as the World Cup is getting closer, both the fans and the media donāt know how Martino is going to pull off a striker that can play against, both Polandās and Argentinaās defensive lines in the tournament. Thatās one of the main reasons, everyone is asking for Chicharito Hernandez.
Will Javer āChicharitoā Hernandez ever be called back to play for Mexico?
In the press conference held by the Mexico national teamās manager Gerardo Martinostated the current roster will have only three strikers, but the Los Angeles Galaxy goalscorer wonāt be part of it. āIn the case of Javier Hernandez I have simply defined myself by other center forwards.ā, the former Barcelonaās coach revealedin Los Angeles.
This question has came up a lot in the press conference as their current center forwards are in bad shape, and the Mexico national team is a goal crisis, where āEl Tricolorā havenāt scored goals as expected from the fans. Also, Martinoās first-choice for that position including Rogelio Funes Mori, and Raul Jimenez are injured, and havenāt played a single minute so far in the current season.
Even so, Chicharito havenāt been called up in three years so far. His last game with the Mexico national team was against Paraguay national team, where he even scored his last goal. He is the current All-Time leading scorer for the Mexico National team with 52 goals scored.
