Sanchez considers him the Mexican Messi and prefers him to play for El Tri instead of Funes

Hugo Sanchez has been highly critical of the Mexican national team. The former Real Madrid player and Mexican soccer legend cannot stand certain profiles within the team. In this case, he has already lashed out against Rogelio Funes Mori, assuring that he is too much for the team.

Sanchez believes that Mexico needs a player with the differential characteristics of a true "10" on the field. In that case, he believes that the only player who fulfills this requirement is Carlos Vela, whom he considers the "Mexican Messi".

In 2014, Hugo Sanchez spoke to ESPN about Carlos Vela's current situation and how he was coming into the World Cup in Brazil that year. Hugo had faith in the player who ended up declining to participate in the World Cup.

Hugo Sanchez is one of the biggest critics of the Mexican national team coach. For the now ESPN commentator, the Argentinean coach should not resort to foreign talent, because there are very good players in Mexico, but he ignores them.
