Not only does Vela knows that Gerardo “Tata” Martino wasn’t keen on him, which is the main reason why he never got to wear El Tri colors again after the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but also because there’s external factors that rule FMF interests, that kept him far from El Tri’s camp.

But Vela also knows that some of the players that currently give shape to Mexico National Team roster have earn their place based on their performances and hard work, which is why they should also be rewarded, like Hirving Lozano, who deserves to be the new number 10 of El Tri.
