He couldn't stand Martino any longer, resigns from El Tri and will play for USA just days before the World Cup
The player who got tired of Gerardo Martino's lies and resigned from the Mexican national team in a surprise move to the US National team
Gerardo Martino seems to have done one of his tricks again. The Argentinean coach has reportedly exhausted the patience of a soccer player and the player will no longer wait for Mexico and will look for an option with the United States national team, the country where he was born and is eligible to represent them.
It is precisely Alejandro Zendejas, a Club America player who apparently never reached an agreement with the Mexican soccer federation and Gerardo Martino accused him as someone with little value because he did not want to sign an exclusive contract with the Mexican national team.
