<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico">Mexico</a></strong> will look to turn around their poor performance from their last <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/copa-america">Copa America</a></strong> appearance in 2016, where they lost 7-0 to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chile">Chile</a></strong>, marking the worst defeat in the country’s history.</p>



<p>This year, they are the favorites to advance from <strong>Group B</strong> along with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ecuador"><strong>Ecuador</strong>.</a> The other two teams in the group are <strong>Venezuela and Jamaica</strong>, with the latter being the <em>Tricolor’s</em> first opponent.</p>



<p>The coach <strong>Jaime Lozano</strong> has already announced the complete squad list, and the big surprise is that <strong>key player Hirving Lozano</strong> <strong>is not included</strong>. More than one will wonder why he is out of the squad.</p>



<h2>Hirving Lozano out of Copa America 2024</h2>



<p>The reason why Hirving Lozano will not be in this Copa América 2024 is because the coach <strong>preferred to call more young players, thinking about future replacements.</strong></p>



<p>Hirving Lozano had been a key player in the <strong>Russia 2018 World Cup</strong>, where he scored the goal against <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/germany">Germany</a></strong> that led Mexico to the knockout stage and Germany to be eliminated from the tournament.</p>



<p>The former <strong>PSV </strong>player claimed that he did not expect to be left out of the team in this tournament: <em>“The truth is that I did not expect it, I thought I could go. It’s the coach’s decision, I have always said that I respect it, there is no problem. At the time it was painful”.</em></p>



<h2>Mexico squad for Copa America 2024</h2>



<p><strong>Goalkeepers:</strong> Angel Malagon (America), Jose Raul Rangel (Chivas) and Julio Gonzalez (Pumas).</p>



<p><strong>Defenders:</strong> Israel Reyes (America), Jorge Sanchez (Porto), Brian Garcia (Toluca), Cesar Montes (Almeria), Johan Vasquez (Genoa), Jesus Orozco (Chivas), Gerardo Arteaga (Monterrey) and Bryan Gonzalez (Pachuca).</p>



<p><strong>Midfielders</strong>: Edson Alvarez (West Ham), Luis Romo (Monterrey), Erick Sanchez (Pachuca), Orbelin Pineda (AEK), Roberto Alvarado (Chivas), Luis Chavez (Dynamo Moscow) and Carlos Rodríguez (Cruz Azul).</p>



<p><strong>Strikers</strong>: Marcelo Flores (Tigres), Cesar Huerta (Pumas), Julian Quiñones (America), Santiago Gimenez (Feyenoord), Alexis Vega (Toluca), Uriel Antuna (Cruz Azul), Guillermo Martinez (Pumas) and Diego Lainez (Tigres).</p>

<p>San Diego FC, the league’s 30th team, wants to make a major splash in their first season of MLS play, and Hirving Lozano will be the face of the franchise. Lozano comes to MLS by way of PSV, where the Mexican international had a lukewarm season.</p>



<p>Now, in an interview with ESPN, “Chucky” spoke about the differences and similarities between Major League Soccer and Liga MX.</p>



<h2>Hirving Lozano on Liga MX vs MLS debate</h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/hirving-lozanos-san-diego-fc-salary"></div>


<p>In the interview, Lozano mentioned<strong><em>, “I think they are at the same level, but MLS is growing better and will be better than Liga MX… MLS has grown a lot and I wanted to be part of that process.”</em></strong></p>

<p>Lozano, despite being one of Mexican soccer’s best exports in recent memory, was not chosen to play for the national team in this summer’s upcoming Copa America. The decision to leave him and a few other veteran players off the list is a “generational shift” imposed by the Mexican federation.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/mls-2024-salaries-25-of-the-best-players-and-what-they-earn"></div>


<p>Lozano’s move to MLS and not being called up by El Tri for Copa America were both not viewed favorably by the Mexican press and pundits.</p>

<p>For<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/hirving-lozano" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hirving Lozano</a></strong>, the horizon and a big payday lie in <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Major League Soccer</a>.</strong> After a timid season with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psv" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PSV</a>, where the Mexican winger scored just 6 goals in 33 games, at only 28, Lozano is heading to MLS to play for San Diego FC.</p>



<p><strong>San Diego FC </strong>is slated to play in MLS as of the 2025 season and will be the 30th team in the league, although rumors indicate that they won’t be the last. San Diego FC is looking to make a big splash in the community, and Chucky Lozano will be a big part of that.</p>



<p>Lozano’s move to MLS will involve a transfer fee rumored to be in the $10 million range, as well as signing a lucrative contract with the club. The deal is reported to be for four years.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>What is Hirving Lozano’s rumored MLS salary?&nbsp;</h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240103#BUS#95726"></div>


<p>According to AS, Hirving Lozano’s MLS salary is reported to be in the range of $7-9 million. Lozano would almost automatically become the third-highest-paid player in the league if he makes in the $9 million range.</p>

<p>Lozano would be yet another high-priced Mexican import in a long line of name Mexican players who have usually flopped in MLS. Carlos Vela, Jorge Campos, and Cuauhtémoc Blanco stand out as the best imports from Mexico in MLS history. </p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="undefined#undefined#tfs#undefined"></div>


<p>Some of the flops include Rafa Marquez, Javier Hernández, Nery Castillo, Luis Ángel Landín, and Giovani dos Santos.</p>

<p><strong>San Diego FC</strong> wants to go big in their first season of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> in 2025, the team which will play all their home games at Snapdragon Stadium, a 35,000-seat outdoor venue that opened in 2022 at the former site of San Diego Stadium, does not have a coach but does have three players on their roster.</p>



<p><br>For their first DP the club is looking to tap into San Diego’s big Mexican community and are gunning for none other than El Tri international <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/hirving-lozano" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hirving Lozano</a></strong>. Lozano is currently at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psv" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PSV</a> after a successful spell at Napoli and according to Tom Bogert, the club are in “advanced” talks with the Mexican star.<br></p>



<p>Bogert reports that San Diego FC ownership group have been in talks with Lozano for a while and that the transfer fee would be in the $12 million range.</p>



<h2>Hirving Lozano to San Diego FC?<br></h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/robert-taylor-speaks-on-inter-miami-future"></div>


<p>Hirving Lozano is only 28 and has played for Napoli, PSV in two stints, and Pachuca winning titles in all three clubs and on the verge of another with PSV. Lozano is also one of the best players on the Mexican national team earning 70 caps and playing in two World Cups.</p>



<p>This season Lozano has 6 goals in 30 games for PSV and his current contract runs until 2028. At $12 million it’s a bargain signing for the MLS side, Lozano aside from his name value can play either on the left or right wing and is one of the best Mexican soccer players of his generation.<br></p>

<p>Mexican stars have been more miss than hit in MLS, but Carlos Vela, Jorge Campos, Hector Herrera, and Jonathan Dos Santos are major exceptions to the rule.<br></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240103#BUS#95726"></div>


<p>Bogert reports that Lozano is very keen on the deal and despite nearly having four years remaining on his PSV deal, the Netherland’s giant is asking for a price that is reasonable for all parties involved.</p>

<p>Jorge Campos, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicharito-hernandez" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chicharito Hernández</a>, Luis Hernández, Gio Dos Santos, Carlos Hermosillo, are just some of many Mexican national team players to make their way to the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-galaxy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LA Galaxy</a></strong>. Many of them with mixed results.<br></p>



<p><strong>Major League Socce</strong>r has been home to many Mexican internationals of note, many of them have been some of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-15-worst-signings-in-mls-history-20201229-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">biggest flops in the history of the league</a>.

<p>Fresh off of yet another dismal season, the Los Angeles Galaxy did not qualify for the post season and saw the end of the era of Chicharito Hernández, which was largely disappointing. Now the brass in LA want to make another push for one of Mexico’s biggest stars.<br></p>



<h2>Hirving Lozano to MLS?<br></h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20211212#CMS#0001"></div>




<p>According to famed transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/hirving-lozano" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hirving Lozano</a> </strong>is on the list for the LA Galaxy. Romano is reporting<em>, “LA Galaxy are still keen on signing Hirving Lozano as part of their plans for 2024.

<p>Lozano has a contract with PSV until 2028, but at 28, and with MLS’ history of over paying for Mexican internationals the carrot may be too good to pass up for PSV and Earnie Stewart.<br></p>

<p>After leaving Napoli for a second stint at PSV, Hirving Lozano has 5 goals in 8 games for the Dutch giants in league play, and 0 in 4 games in the Champions League.<br></p>

<p>Mexican international<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/hirving-lozano" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hirving Lozano</a></strong> is reportedly being shopped around by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/napoli" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Napoli</a> as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/serie-a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Serie A </a>champions look to get a transfer fee for the Mexican winger. Lozano’s contract with the club ends in June of 2024 and the <strong>asking price is reportedly in the range of $17 million.</strong></p>



<p>According to El10 in Mexico, Chivas have begun to inquire about signing the talented winger but all signs are pointing that Lozano may be keen on a move to Major League Soccer.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230517#BUS#1719"></div>


<p>According to various sources LAFC are very interested in signing Lozano on a DP deal, the MLS champions has one DP slot open as the other two are for Carlos Vela and scoring sensation Denis Bouanga.</p>



<h2>Chances of Chucky Lozano playing for LAFC?</h2>



<p>At the moment there is really nothing concrete on the deal to bring Chucky Lozano to Major League Soccer. LAFC are making the proper inquiries and Napoli is keen to sell.</p>



<p>LAFC director of operations, Marco Garcés was asked by Ahora o Nunca about the Mexican talent, but Garcés pleaded “the fifth”. With Napoli open to the move and MLS teams trying to catch up to Inter Miami and their signing of Lionel Messi.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230606#BUS#6655"></div>

<p>Following their recent loss to the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/usmnt">USMNT</a></strong> in the<strong> Concacaf Nations League</strong> semifinals,<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico">Mexico</a></strong> find themselves in a state of disarray. The team’s performance in their recent matches has only added to the concerns surrounding their ability to compete for the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gold-cup">2023 Gold Cup</a></strong> title.</p>



<p>To make matters worse, head coach<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/diego-cocca">Diego Cocca</a></strong> has been fired despite being appointed earlier this year. While Mexico’s underwhelming performances during his tenure may have played a role, off-field issues influenced the decision of his controversial exit.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230623#BUS#16735"></div>


<p>As the rosters were confirmed, it was evident that several key players will be absent from various teams, and<strong> Hirving Lozano</strong> is undoubtedly one of the notable omissions. Unfortunately, the Napoli player will not have the opportunity to represent his country on this occasion.</p>



<h2>Why isn’t Hirving Lozano playing for Mexico?</h2>



<p>The roster was assembled by Cocca, despite the person in charge of the team interim coach is going to be Jaime Lozano. There are some big names absent, but the player that probably should be missed the most is the attacker from Napoli. Hirving Lozano isn’t playing for Mexico<strong> because he suffered a knee injury on May 7</strong> that ruled him out of the competition.</p>

<p>The current <strong>SSC Napoli</strong> striker was not included in the list of 38 players called up by Martino to face the five matches that make up the block of matches that<em> El Tri</em> will play in the summer.

<h2>The reason for Hirving Lozano’s absence from the Mexico National Team</h2>
<p>It was February 2, 2022, one more of the complicated and exhausting days of the 2022 <strong>Concacaf World Cup 2022 Qualifiers</strong> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-vs-panama-tv-channel-how-and-where-to-watch-or-live-stream-free-2022-concacaf-world-cup-qualifiers-today-20220202-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico was hosting <strong>Panama</strong> at the <strong>Azteca Stadium</strong></a>. <em>El Tri</em> overcame the Central Americans 1-0, but the final score of the match was not entirely good due to the fact that Hirving Lozano went off injured in the 66th minute.</p>
<p>The action that left Lozano out was a collision with Panamanian defender <strong>Michael Murillo</strong>, in which he fell on his right shoulder. After this accident, Lozano returned to the field a month later with Napoli but at the end of the season he again complained of the same ailment.</p>
<p>So, with a new season in Italy on the horizon and, evidently, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-all-fifa-world-cups-lionel-messi-has-participated-in-20220525-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022</a> in mind, Hirving Lozano decided to undergo surgery to properly fix his right shoulder, which is why he was not called up by <em>Tata</em> Martino for the friendly and preparatory matches for the World Cup in Mexico in the summer.</p>
<p>Although for many Mexican players, these matches are their last chance to qualify for<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-fan-villages-the-accommodation-option-close-to-tradition-at-the-upcoming-fifa-world-cup-20220524-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Qatar 2022, </a>Hirving Lozano is surely one of the names who, if healthy, will defend Mexico’s colors at the upcoming FIFA World Cup.</p>

Why was Hirving Lozano not called up for Mexico's 2022 summer matches?

Why was Hirving Lozano not called up for Mexico's 2022 summer matches? - Bolavip US

<p>Nerves, tension, but also excitement for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-the-official-songs-of-the-past-editions-of-the-fifa-world-cup-20220513-0028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Qatar 2022</strong></a> are being felt more and more intensely. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-schedule-in-2022-dates-of-the-national-soccer-team-games-this-year-20220114-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mexico</strong></a> wants to show its best version of itself at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-the-best-shopping-malls-of-the-host-country-of-the-upcoming-fifa-world-cup-20220512-0028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>the upcoming FIFA World Cup</strong></a>, and to that end is facing its first set of preparation matches against opponents with different styles of play. <strong>Gerardo <em>Tata</em> Martino</strong> has already announced a list of 38 called-up players with some interesting twists and turns.</p>
<p>Mexico will face two types of matches in the last week of May and the first week of June. The first will be completely friendly and probably the most difficult of this block. Martino’s team’s opponents will be <strong>Nigeria, Uruguay and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/breaking-news-fifa-to-investigate-ecuadors-byron-castillo-for-false-nationality-that-could-kick-the-tricolor-out-of-2022-world-cup-20220511-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ecuador.</a></strong></p>
<p>Afterwards, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-mls-gem-that-mexico-and-tata-martino-could-snatch-from-the-usmnt-20220430-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>El Tri</em> must fulfill its obligations</a> as a member of <strong>Concacaf</strong> and thus face the group stage of <strong>the Nations League</strong>, in which its opponents are not among the elite of world soccer but will surely play with full intensity and could complicate the matches in some way: <strong>Surinam and Jamaica.</strong></p>
<h2>The absencesin <em>Tata</em> Martino’s Mexico roster</h2>
<p>Every National Team roster has an impossible mission to fulfill: to satisfy absolutely all opinions. Thus, there will always be players singled out for not having the level to be part of the team and other discarded players acclaimed to be included. The same old story.</p>
<p>Among the notable absences from Gerardo <em>Tata</em> Martino’s <em>El Tri</em> squad are four big-name players: <strong>Hirving Lozano</strong> of Italy’s <strong>Napoli</strong>, <strong>Carlos Rodriguez and Rogelio Funes Mori</strong> of <strong>Monterrey</strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/chicharito-out-of-mexico-national-team-for-refusing-to-comply-with-this-condition-from-tata-martino-20220405-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">and <strong>Chicharito Hernandez</strong> of the <strong>LA Galaxy</strong></a>. Each has different contexts that have led to their absence.</p>
<p>In the case of the first two, Lozano and Rodriguez, injuries are the main impediment to Martino’s decision not to include them in the roster for the summer block of preparation matches. As for Chicharito, the possibility that he could return to <em>El Tri</em> to play in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-national-teams-that-have-missed-world-cups-after-being-penalized-by-fifa-20220511-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a> is increasingly diluted. At least as long as <em>Tata</em> is the head coach.</p>

<p></p></div>
<h2>Mexico National Team’s biggest surprise for summer friendlies</h2>
<p>Undoubtedly, the absence of Hirving Lozano created a vacancy in Mexico, and Martino chose <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/arsenal-wonderkid-marcelo-flores-put-this-condition-on-the-table-for-choosing-to-play-for-mexico-20220426-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arsenal’s wonderkid <strong>Marcelo Flores</strong></a>, who will have the opportunity to live, for the first time, with the team’s top players such as <strong>Guillermo Ochoa, Hector Herrera, Andres Guardado, Raul Jimenez and Tecatito Corona.</strong></p>

<p>Here is a list of the best <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-15-worst-signings-in-liga-mx-history-20201230-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexican</a> players to play in Europe, past and present, from the legendary Hugo Sánchez to the stars of today like Hirving Lozano. <strong>Here are the best players from Mexico to play in Europe.</strong></p>
<h2>Luis García</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_luis_garcxa_crop1641573777150.jpg_22069893_0929ab27.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Luis García (Soy Futbol)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Luis García</strong> was a rarity during the 90’s, a Mexican player in Europe and with Atlético Madrid. The Mexican World Cup veteran would play in Spain for 4 years, but his best stint was with Atlético Madrid playing 2 seasons and scoring 28 goals in 58 games.</p>
<h2>Néstor Araujo</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>The defender moved to Celta de Vigo in 2018 and has played over 100 games for the club and has been a rock at the back. <strong>Araujo</strong> is as cool as they get protecting the backline and has carved out a place as one of the nation’s all-time best exports.</p>
<h2>Carlos Vela</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_carlos_vela_crop1641573571437.jpg_22069893_243f4d64.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Carlos Vela (Photo by Juan Manuel Serrano Arce/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Carlos Vela</strong> gets an incomplete grade in Europe, his time at Arsenal had him going on loan to various teams until finding his groove at Real Sociedad. At Sociedad, Vela played 7 seasons scoring over 50 goals in over 180 games for the club. Vela would leave Europe for a big money move to MLS.</p>
<h2>Hector Moreno</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>

<p></p></div>
<p>A tough defender who had a good run at PSV and VfB Stuttgart, <strong>Francisco Rodriguez</strong> played in Europe a total of 5 seasons. Playing well for the most part.</p>
<h2>Gerardo Torrado</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_gerardo_torrado_crop1641573281485.jpg_22069893_d5e366b7.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Gerardo Torrado (Firo Foto/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The tough defensive midfielder played a lot of his career in Europe with stops at Tenerife, Poli Ejido, Sevilla, and Racing Santander. <strong>Gerardo Torrado</strong> was as tough as they came and had a reputation for going in hard.</p>
<h2>Guillermo Ochoa</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_guillermo_ochoa_crop1641573162787.jpg_22069893_a032d52e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Guillermo Ochoa (Photo by John Berry/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>

<h2>Hector Herrera</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_hector_herrera_crop1641573082456.jpg_22069893_125761c8.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Hector Herrera (Photo by David S. Bustamante/Soccrates/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>

<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_jesxs_corona_crop1641573006367.jpg_22069893_0aa1e7c5.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Jesús Corona (Photo by Pedro Lopes / DPI / NurPhoto via Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>

<p></p></div>
<p>Current El Tri forward <strong>Raul Jimenez</strong> is the best Mexican player to ever have played in the Premier League. He gets regular 90-minute games and finds the back of the next at Wolverhampton Wanderers consistently.</p>
<h2>Hirving Lozano</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_hirving_lozano_crop1641572818987.jpg_22069893_f625e858.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Hirving Lozano (Photo by Ivan Romano/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Napoli forward is among the best Mexican soccer players of all-time, and one of the best to ever make the move to Europe. <strong>Hirving Lozano</strong> has played very well at Napoli after coming to light at PSV. He won 1 title with each club so far.</p>
<h2>Javier Hernández</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_javier_hernxndez_crop1641572732037.jpg_22069893_65ffb1ef.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Javier Hernández (Photo by VI Images via Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>While never truly exploding and becoming world class, <strong>Javier Hernández</strong> did have a great spell in Europe, he was a go-to bench man at Manchester United, a talented goal scorer at Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham United. His stint at Sevilla is forgettable, but Chicharito did win 5 titles and can boast saying he played at Manchester United and Real Madrid.</p>
<h2>Andrés Guardado</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_andrxs_guardado_crop1641572628097.jpg_22069893_feb208ff.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Andrés Guardado (Photo by Fran Santiago/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>A great utility player, <strong>Andrés Guardado</strong> always found a home in Europe and has had stops at Deportivo La Coruña, Valencia, Bayer Leverkusen, PSV, and now Real Betis. Spain is where he has shined the most playing in over 250 games and winning 5 titles in his European career.</p>
<h2>Rafael Marquez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_rafael_marquez_crop1641572482470.jpg_22069893_c5c58897.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Rafael Marquez (Photo : Manuel Blondeau / Icon Sport via Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Rafael Marquez</strong> played in one of the most dominant soccer teams of all-time at Barcelona, and while at Barca he was humble and hard working. Before his move to Barcelona, Marquez won two titles with Monaco and with the Catalan giants would win 12 titles, including two Champions Leagues. Marquez played 242 games at Barca. Marquez would later have a huge attitude problem in MLS and went to play in Mexico and had a uneventful stint in Serie A.</p>
<h2>Hugo Sánchez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar-2022-t77804" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a> World Cup <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/concacaf-t16684" target="_blank" rel="noopener">qualifiers</a> </strong>are upon us once again, which means that the best <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer-t81579" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soccer</a> players on Earth will get the honor of playing for their national teams to try and lead them to the most important tournament on the planet.</p>
<p>This time, however, most of those who play in European tournaments didn’t get the green light to join their national teams, either due to <strong>Covid-19- related restrictions</strong> or out of fear of suffering an injury.</p>
<p>Those measures took a toll onthe <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mexico-t65" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexican</a> national team, as <strong>Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino</strong> won’t count with <strong>Napoli star Hirving Lozano</strong>. But what happened and why won’t the striker take part in <em>El Tri’s</em> upcoming fixtures?</p>

<h2>Why Isn’t Hirving Lozano Playing For Mexico?</h2>
<p>Hirving Lozano was on the worst end of a terrible collision while playing for Mexico in the<strong> Gold Cup.</strong> He was ruled out for the remainder of the competition and wasn’t able to play again until last weekend.</p>
<p>Napoli are being extremely cautious with one of their most valuable assets, so even if Martino called him up to play for<em> El Tri</em>, chances are that <strong>Luciano Spalleti’s</strong> team wasn’t going to grant himpermission anyway.</p>
<p>With <strong>Inter</strong> going through a panic sale and <strong>Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Juventus</strong>, the Serie A is once again wide open and Napoli are looking forward to making a run at the Scudetto, meaning they can’t afford to have one of their best players on the shelf for long.</p>
<p>Even so, Mexico should do just fine without the former <strong>Pachuca </strong>standout. They’ll play against <strong>Jamaica, Costa Rica, and Panama</strong> but shouldn’t have much trouble getting past the three of them.</p>
<p>The Mexican side is a lock to qualify for the upcoming World Cup, so Martino will most likely test some alternatives to try and round up his roster for the tournament. As for Lozano, he’ll continue to work on getting<strong> back to full strength.</strong></p>

<p>At the moment, <strong>Gerardo Martino</strong> can rely on a significant amount of players that perform in Europe, which is considered to involve the best teams and footballers in the world. Well, Mexico have some of their own featuring in that level.</p>

<h2>Andrés Guardado -(Real Betis)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210402_BUS_169871_andres_guardado.jpg_22993414_e97b91d3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Andrés Guardado is the second player with most appearances with Mexico (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>To begin with, we start with <strong>the iconic midfielder and captain from El Tricolor</strong>. One of the most experienced in thesquad,<strong> Guardado has been afigureof the Mexico national team for a long time due to his leadership skills and the talent</strong> that enabled him to perform in Europe since 2007.</p>
<p>He amassed 143 games playing for Deportivo La Coruna before moving to Valencia, then had a short spell in Bayer Leverkusen, and after that PSV signed him. <strong>Guardado is currently playing his fourth season for Real Betis, where he earned an important place</strong> as well with his experience.</p>
<p>The 34-year-old played a huge part for El Tricolor in his career. He took part in <strong>four <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/fifa-t92" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIFA</a> World Cups</strong> – 2006, 2010,2014, and 2018 – and lifted <strong>three Concacaf Gold Cup trophies</strong>. <strong>Guardado is the second player with most appearances for Mexico with 163 games</strong>, below Claudio Suárez who has 177.</p>
<h2>Hirving Lozano – (Napoli)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210402_BUS_169871_hirving_lozano.jpg_22993414_665b65e1.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Lozano is shining with Napoli in the Serie A (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>‘Chucky’ Lozano is probably the most exciting Mexican player</strong> at the moment. It didn’t take too long for him to jump intoprofessional soccer, as he made his first appearance at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/pachuca-t12335" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pachuca</a> with only 18 years of age. Almost four years later, PSV signed him.</p>
<p>Lozano was up to the challenge with the Dutch side, being the team’s leading goalscorer in his two-year stint. <strong>Napoli meant another huge step in his career</strong>, in the most expensive transfer in history for a Mexican player – tied with Raúl Jiménez. And he didn’t let the Italians down, as he madehis way to <strong>being recognized as one of the best wingers</strong> in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/serie-a-t47163" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Serie A</a>.</p>
<p>With El Tricolor, he took part in the <strong>2018 World Cup</strong>, in which <strong>his goal against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/germany-t146508" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Germany</a> in the first gamecleared the path for Mexico to progress</strong> to the following stage.</p>
<h2>Diego Lainez – (Real Betis)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210402_BUS_169871_diego_lainez.jpg_22993414_0c1030a0.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    There’s a lot of expectation for the future of Diego Lainez (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Lainez is <strong>a young, promising talent</strong> that Real Betis have in their squad withhigh hopes for his future. The 20-year-old <strong>is expected to be one of the greatest players</strong>, not only forMexico but in the world as well, as overthe last yearsmany newspapers ranked him among the best youth talents.</p>
<p>He already was called up for Mexico’s senior squad playing a part in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/international-t92967" target="_blank" rel="noopener">International Friendlies</a>. Lainezstill is developing as a soccer player onthe big stage, but he has a bright future ahead.</p>
<h2>Raúl Jiménez – (Wolverhampton)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210402_BUS_169871_raxl_jimxnez.jpg_22993414_4ff3e4b7.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Raúl Jiménez is one of the best strikers in the Premier League (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Wolverhampton</strong> striker <strong>earned recognition as one of the best</strong> offensive players in the entire <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a>. He is, alongside the likes of Lozano and Guardado, <strong>one of the greatestMexican players</strong> at the moment.</p>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/atletico-de-madrid-t133215" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atlético de Madrid</a> were the first oneto bring him to Europeafter he became unstoppable in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/liga-mx-t57" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liga MX</a> playing for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/club-america-t48984" target="_blank" rel="noopener">América</a>. Even though that move didn’t turn out well, from then on <strong>Jiménez wentonrising</strong>in soccer’s elite level. He bounced back in Benfica, before making a permanent move to Wolverhampton. <strong>Jiménez was the top scorer and named MVP ofthe English side in two consecutive seasons</strong> – 2018/19 and 2019/20.</p>
<p><strong>He and Hirving Lozano share the record for the most expensive transfers for a Mexican</strong> player in history. Moreover, Jiménez tasted success in the 2012 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/olympic-games-t156666" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olympic Games</a> with the Mexico national teamU-23’s, played in the 2018 World Cup, and lifted the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup.</p>
<h2>Jesús ManuelCorona – (Porto)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210402_BUS_169871_jesxs_corona.jpg_22993414_2feb5ba5.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    ‘Tecatito’ Corona earned a place in Porto a long time ago (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>The winger movedto Europe</strong> shortly after making his first steps in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/monterrey-t63" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monterrey</a>. Corona played for Twente for three seasons before calling the attention of Portuguese giants <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/porto-t110856" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Porto</a></strong>, where he established himself as a great player.</p>
<p>Corona saw first-team actionfrom the very beginning with that sideand went on to spend many years with them in a successful stint which included five domestic titles. He already <strong>featured for more than 200matches thereand was namedbest player of the Liga NOS 2019/20</strong> season.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Mexico have a good piece at the back in Edson Álvarez</strong>. Heperforms for Dutch giants <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/ajax-t524" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ajax</a>, whosigned him for around $17million in 2019. Asides from being a solid central-back, Álvarez can also be a good option for the right-back or even may perform asa defensive midfielder.</p>
<p>He already played important tournaments with El Tricolor, such as the 2018 Russia World Cup, and two Concacaf Gold Cups, <strong>including the successfulcampaign in 2019 when they claimed the title</strong>.</p>

<p>The Mexican federation chose <strong>Gerardo Martino</strong> as the national team coach to lead the<strong> Qatar 2022</strong> project. He had a successful start by winning the <strong>CONCACAF Gold Cup</strong> in 2019, beating the <strong>United States</strong> in the final, and now he is preparing for the next main challenges: <strong>Copa América</strong> and<strong> World Cup</strong>.</p>

<p></p>
<p>The Argentine manager made some changes in the national squad and there are more to come. Current Mexican icons, such as<strong> Andrés Guardado</strong>, <strong>Guillermo Ochoa</strong> or <strong>Javier Chicharito Hernández</strong>, will be in the final stage of their professional careers by 2022. It will be the time for other players to take center stage and become the Mexico’s hope to make an impact in the next World Cup.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Raúl Jiménez</strong> is the player of the moment. His performances with <strong>Wolverhampton</strong> put him as one of the best strikers in the <strong>Premier League</strong>. Martino already considers him the main man in attack, as he showed during the 2019 Gold Cup. Jiménez will be a 30-year-old striker in Qatar 2022, the perfect age for a number 9 in this kind of competitions. With his experience, he will probably have a leading role in the national team, being a big influence for the younger players.<span></span></p>

<p><strong>Edson Álvarez</strong> is another player who will play a vital role for Mexico in the World Cup. The 22-year-old joined<strong> Ajax</strong> in the last transfer window after playing three seasons for<strong> Club América</strong>. The defensive midfielder can also play as central, an ability that helps Martino with his system when the team is attacking. While Mexico has the possession of the ball, Álvarez goes down to make a line of three and the wing-backs go up.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>The last of the list is <strong>Hirving Chucky Lozano</strong>. The<strong> Napoli </strong>winger is probably the most explosive Mexican player right now. He missed the 2019 Gold Cup due to an injury, but he returned to the national team to play some CONCACAF Nations Lague games. There’s no doubt that he will be in Martino’s first team plans. Lozano’s speed and ability to leave defenders behind are some of his main skills, but he can also become in one of the national team’s goalscorers in Qatar 2022.</p>
