Diego Lainez and the lowest blow given by Sporting Braga's DT
The Mexican soccer player is having a good time in Braga. However, he receives not very encouraging news from his coach.
Diego Lainez joined Sporting Braga from Real Betis with a view to playing important minutes in order to be considered for Qatar 2022. The attacker never convinced Manuel Pellegrini and found in Portugal an opportunity to shine.
Since his arrival, the Mexican player has shown important conditions within the Braga team. He has already been able to score and has provided some assists and key passes in Portuguese league matches. However, the player has not had important minutes in the UEFA Europa League.

According to the club's coach, Artur Jorge, the decision was based on the Mexican's physical constitution. For high tension duels such as those in the European competition, he wants strikers who are good in the clash and who can hold balls up top. Something that is not Lainez's profile.
Is Lainez at risk of missing the World Cup?
Lainez's situation is not the best in Braga, but it is not bad either. The player does have minutes and has stood out in several matches. However, there is the issue of intensity and high-level competition where profiles such as Orbelin Pineda could overtake him.
