Alexis Vega and Raúl Jiménez would be the great novelties of the Mexican National Team for the Copa América – La Opinion


In the midst of all the versions that assure that the coach of the Mexican National Team, Jaime Lozano will keep 95 percent of the players who faced Panama and the United States, in the semifinal and final of the Concacaf Nations League, in the next edition of the Copa América, it was assured that the news on this list will be Raúl Jiménez forward of Fulham of the Premier League, Alexis Vega from Toluca and César “Chino” Huerta from the UNAM Pumas, but without ruling out the versatile Rodrigo Huescas from Cruz Azul.

Raúl Jiménez has had a season of ups and downs at Fulham, Well, when it was thought that he had earned the trust of his coach, injuries began to take their toll on him, which is why he lost prominence, while Alexis Vega, in a new position up front for Toluca, has had a resurgence with six goals.

For his part, César Huerta continues to be a guarantee in the Pumas and it would undoubtedly be something strange if it were not taken into account by coach Jaime Lozano when the Mexican National Team does not have players of these characteristics. The same thing happens with Rodrigo Huescas of Cruz Azul, who has a versatility that would be very useful to the national team, beyond his age and his lack of experience in the senior team.

Lozano knows that he cannot give advantages for the continental match that will be played from June 20 to July 14 in several cities in the United States and where Mexico will begin its path in this competition on June 22 against Jamaica, then on June 26 They will face Venezuela and Ecuador on the 30th, trying to reach one of the two tickets available in Group B for the next phase.

The national coach faces a great challenge, especially because unofficial versions assure that if he does not achieve a prominent place in this competition where the favorites are Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, there are many options to relieve him of his position and place his place to both the Uruguayan Gustavo Almada, the Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari and the “Vasco” Javier Aguirre.

For that reason he will use the most outstanding things he has Mexico at the moment, like the forwards Julián Quiñones, Henry Martín, Santiago Giménez, Hirving Lozano and Raúl Jiménez, especially due to the demands of giving variations to the offensive zone, even thinking about playing with two nominal forwards at the top.

Known by everyone that before the Nations League, The strategist of the Mexican national team delivered a list of 60 players and from which he will choose the 26 who will play in the continental competition where the Aztec team has not had much significance in the last 17 years, since it reached Venezuela in 2007 until third place beating Uruguay.
