No one understands why Gerardo Martino keeps calling this player

With one more game on the current CONCACAF Qualifiers match window against Panama on Wednesday, a game of vital importance as the winner will mostly confirm their ticket to Qatar, Gerardo “Tata” Martino finally realized that El Tri needs a striker that can actually score.
