The coach of the Mexican national team explained that Marcelo Flores is under pressure to be one of the players to reach the Qatar 2022 World Cup, so Tata has asked him to be calm and enjoy the process, as there is still a long way to go before the decision is made.

According to TUDN, there was pressure from Marcelo Flores' father for the player to be chosen as one of the 26 players to go to the World Cup in Qatar, which is why the 18-year-old felt such a strong pressure that it caused him to cry at the end of the game.

Gerardo Martino left the door open and spoke of the Mexican player's talent, but warned that the process of Marcelo Flores must be taken calmly, as he is very young and must also think about consolidating himself with his club, in order to also succeed in the Mexican national team.
