A new alternative for the Selection Mandxicana has surfaced. This is a new chapter between United States and Mexico in a historic fight to recruit Mexican-American soccer players. Given the needs of El Tri, a great option arises to counteract the drought in attack: Richard Ledezma winks at Mexico.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder currently plays for PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Ledezma has represented the United States in the lower categories and even in a match for the senior team. Nevertheless, He still has a chance to represent El Tri and he made it clear.
“No more I’m watching how they play. (El Tri) I really like the style that ‘Tata’ wants to do. And no, I haven’t understood a moment about the Mexican team. I was there in the game, and looking at it and how they were they had no attacks, they need to work on that. If God wants, or if I decide to play with Mexico, I think I can help him and to the United States too,” Ledezma said in an interview for TV Champions.
A race that looks good in Europe
Richard Ledezma was trained in American soccer until he made the leap to Dutch football with PSV Eindhoven’s under-19 team. After 3 years in Europe, Ledezma is beginning to have great opportunities in the first team. For this campaign, Ledezma has already played 3 official matches in which he has accumulated more than 80 minutes. The 22-year-old midfielder has a golden opportunity to start establishing himself at PSV and the Eredivise.
