Among the strange decisions that surround every national team, we have the name of Chivas del Guadalajara defender Alan Mozo in the Mexican team It is prohibited or at least “deleted.” The above is clear from the fact that he did not appear again, not even among the 60 players that the Mexican team temporarily registered to face the Concacaf Nations League games.
This decision has aroused all kinds of suspicions, especially due to the great level that Mozo has shown in the current tournament under the orders of Argentine coach Fernando Gago where he has only missed 135 minutes of the 810 that Chivas has played in the Clausura 2024 tournament. .
Mozo did not appear in the game on date four against Toluca due to a last-minute stomach infection and on the first date he only played the last 45 minutes of the first date against Santos when the Guadalajara coaching staff was barely getting to know him and preferred bet on Jesús “Chapo” Sánchez.
After those 135 minutes of absence, Mozo has played with Chivas in the starting team for 675 minutes, which has generated many favorable opinions, especially in the last game against Pumas where together with Roberto Alvarado they destroyed the feline defense on the wing. right.
However, this regularity has not been enough for the National Team coaching staff to decide to give the former Pumas player an opportunity at some point and even Jaime Lozano to bet on players with less experience.
Above all, because it is a list of 60 national preselected players and from there Jaime Lozano must choose 23 players to face Panama on March 21, where he will look for the ticket to face the winner of the United States against Jamaica in the grand final. the Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington, Texas.
At home of winning, three days later on March 24 on the same stage they will face the winner of Jamaicans and Americans who will meet in the other semifinal of the Nations League Concacaf 2024.
For that reason, it is strange that Mozo does not appear when his level has been above players like Rodrigo Huescas from Cruz Azul, Omar Campos from Santos Laguna or Juan Dominguez from Toluca, among several others.
They claim that before the Olympic Games he committed indiscipline
Regarding the absence of Alan Mozo, there is the unofficial version that Alan Mozo committed indiscipline with Jaime Lozano when he led the Olympic Team in Tokyo 2020 and where Mozo, after obtaining the Olympic ticket upon learning that he would not be considered in the list that would participate in the tournament in the country of the Rising Sun, reproached the national coach for the decision and later the report reached the hands of the Argentine Gerardo Martino who did not consider him for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar due to this same reason.
So this would be the most logical cause for a player who on the field has earned his right to be called up, but whose character has made him pay very expensive bills like now by not being taken into account.
But the reality is that this version has not been confirmed, but there has been another absence in the national team.
