A desperate Martino to bring up a second naturalized player just days before the World Cup
With days to go before Qatar, Martino could have a naturalized player in mind, he would be the second one who could join El Tri, according to regulations
The Mexican national team is a time bomb. The team is certainly not at the best possible level and in this situation Gerardo Martino is already exhausting all possible resources that could mean at least a memorable participation of the Mexican team in Qatar 2022. Now, the issue of nationalization could also be for an element in the lower part.
After the case of Rogelio Funes Mori, Gerardo Martino would not rule out the idea of studying the possibility of an emergency call-up of an element of Liga MX who is in the process of naturalization. Nestor Araujo, Cesar Montes, Hector Moreno and Johan Vasquez are in the lower part of the squad, but Martino wants a little more.

It is precisely Matheus Doria, Brazilian defender of Santos. The player has been one of the most outstanding elements lately in the Mexican league and that is why Martino would like to explore the possibility of having him under his tutelage in the next World Cup.
Doria wants to represent Mexico?
According to TUDN, the player has expressed his desire to play for the Mexican national team and therefore accelerates his nationalization process and is already very close to having his Mexican residency. In that sense, Doria could be considered for the 2026 process in the future.
