It was not Cocca's fault, the people who caused Zendejas to play with the USA

Alejandro Zendejas decided to play for the United States National Team, the Club América midfielder rejected the invitation of coach Diego Cocca to be with the Mexican National Team to face the 2026 World Cup.

Zendejas was born in the United States and chose to play for this team because he represented this country from a young age and they have always supported him. This decision was not easy for Alejandro because he has spent his entire career in Mexico with various clubs in the MX League.

Diego Cocca spoke twice with the player to try to convince him to represent the Mexican National Team, the coach made a great effort because he hoped to have Alejandro Zendejas. This work in the end was a failure.

Alejandro Zendejas had problems with two people and that is why he refused to play for Mexico, coach Gerardo Martino never considered him to be with the Mexican National Team in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, this hurt the midfielder a lot. The other culprit is the President of the FMF, Yon de Luisa, this manager pressured the player to choose Mexico without good communication.
