Martino defends him but realized his level and resigned from El Tri out of dignity

The Qatar 2022 World Cup is just around the corner and Gerardo Martino continues to receive bad news. One of his recurring midfield players seems not to be convinced and has reportedly given up the option of playing in the World Cup in November.

At the beginning of the Apertura 2022, one of Gerardo Martino's most trusted players admitted that he was not at his best during his last tournament. It is precisely Luis Romo, who claims he is not at 100%, and for this reason would not be ready to make the leap to Europe and the 2022 World Cup.

These were the ideas and comments that the Monterrey player shared for various Monterrey media. "I will neglect the neglect outside, I will only focus on Monterrey, I will give results here. About the World Cup? Let what has to come come," said the midfielder during the interview.

Is his absence confirmed?

Despite Luis Romo's refusal, Gerardo Martino could consider him for the final list of players called up for Qatar. However, it is a fact that the Mexican does not play enough minutes to perform adequately in an eventual World Cup. In that sense, everything indicates that he would throw in the towel in his quest for a World Cup or a jump to Europe.
