The player who supported Martino to veto Chicharito and as a reward goes to Qatar
As a prize going to Qatar, he sold out despite claiming to be Mexico's best striker
The Mexican national team is close to playing in a new World Cup and in view of this situation, one of the players who will travel to Qatar 2022 turned out to have arrived only to support Gerardo Martino and back him in several of his decisions. This is precisely a player who was in favor of the veto of Chicharito.
Javier Hernandez is a player who is practically out of the running for Qatar 2022. According to Marca Claro, the LA Galaxy striker's name does not appear in the preliminary list of Gerardo Martino's team. In that sense, the coach would have kept his word in not preferring Hernandez for tactical reasons and that decision was supported by an element that would go to Qatar 2022.

The player behind the veto is precisely Rogelio Funes Mori. The Mexican coach has shared that the striker will be in Qatar 2022 and despite the fact that Funes Mori praised Chicharito at the time, he is now taking his place for the next World Cup. If Raul Jimenez does not recover, he could even become a starter for the team.
Why did Funes Mori end up with Chicharito?
Rogelio Funes Mori is an element that Gerardo Martino seems to prefer over LA Galaxy's Mexican attacker. According to Reacción en Cadena's report, Gerardo Martino values Rogelio Funes Mori more for his physicality and deployment on the field. Someone who can hold balls and fight between central defenders.
