He demanded without fear, the only Tri player who did not shrink from Funes Mori or Martino

The World Cup is just around the corner and with it, little by little, the multiple call-ups are being announced and the Mexican team is no exception. One of the great controversies generated was precisely the call-up of striker Rogelio Funes Mori, leaving other options behind him.

Funes Mori is an Argentinean striker who was naturalized as a Mexican citizen due to certain emergencies in attack after injuries and lack of goals a year ago. However, Gerardo Martino's insistence on this player, despite not having the keys to be the reference that Mexico needs in attack, was little imagined.

In that sense, during the Mexican team's last matches and training sessions, the friction prior to the World Cup has already begun to appear, as it is a highly demanding competition. According to ESPN, a Mexican player complained about Rogelio Funes Mori's passivity in one of the practices.

Which player demanded Funes Mori?

According to the aforementioned source, it was precisely Guillermo Ochoa, captain of the team, and his position was direct towards a player who is simply not up to the demands of a World Cup. For this reason, Memo told Funes Mori that he expects more from him for the good of the team.
