Rodolfo Pizarro has been having a good season at Inter Miami, which earned him his call to the Mexico team to face the Netherlands. The coach of Mexico, Martino, will include in his team to title Pizarro. It will be a great chance for Pizarro to show that MLS players can compete against any other player.

Mexico faces the Netherlands and Pizzarro is one of the novelties in the team. He won the title thanks to the good training he had, drawing the attention of Martino for his skill with the ball. Pizarro will start the game as left wing and will share the attack with Jimenez and Corona. Martinez believes Pizarro will be the best complement to forward center Jimenez.

The loss of Hirving 'Chucky' Lozano, who was unable to travel to the Netherlands due to infections suffered by the Napoli team, opened a possibility for Pizarro to occupy that position. It is time to show that he is still at a high level and that he can be the starting striker for the Qatar 2022 qualifiers.

Rodolfo Pizarro was already part of the Mexican national team between 2015 and 2019 but he was only able to play 8 games, where he scored only one goal. In his new team, Inter Miami has scored three goals in 15 games but also has 4 assists, a quality that Martino highlighted in the face of the game against the Netherlands.
