Lionel Messi surprised the whole world by announcing something that some already imagined. The Argentine player confirmed in an interview for TyC Sports that this Qatar 2022 World Cup will be his last as a player of the Argentine national team. However, while Messi is retiring from his national team, there are players in Mexico who do not understand that his time is over.

Gerardo Martino's Mexican national team is close to playing in another World Cup and with it the possibility of reaching the long-awaited fifth game. However, the outlook does not look promising for El Tri. The process has been highly criticized and with it the performance of some veteran players who no longer contribute much to the Mexican national team.

Which player will remain in El Tri for 2026?

The player who has already communicated his desire to remain with the national team for the 2026 process is precisely goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa. The 37-year-old is ready to play another World Cup with El Tri and during a presentation of his wax statue in Mexico City, the player assured that he would be delighted to remain with the national team until the 2026 World Cup. A situation that depends on the coach who arrives, but apparently there is no intention of stepping aside and giving an opportunity to the young players.
