Although some people might not understand how the Argentinian coach keeps calling players like Henry Martín, who hasn’t had a relevant game with El Tri in a long time, especially now that the lack of goals seems like a problem growing by the day.

One of the players left out of the roster was Mexican American Santiago Muñoz, who currently plays for Newcastle U-23, although an injury has kept him away from the pitches.
