What is happening between Carlos Vela and the Mexico National Team? The fans are claiming that he deserves to be there, but Gerardo Martino still doubts about it. The only accurate voice to talk about is the playful one, and he said that he does not want to return. 

There are three main reasons why he does not want to wear the Mexican uniform any more. The main one is that he said that the team can rely on the new generations and he does not want to be the reason why a young player lose his chance to participate.

The important roles are covered by Chucky Lozano, Jesús Corona and Raul Jimenez. He also said that he is too comfortable in Los Angeles, being on the international team implies a lot of time on trips and training to play an exhibition match or a qualification match for important competitions.

Finally, Vela said that he has lost interest in international football. He is really focusing on LAFC and want to become one of the best players of MLS history before going back to Mexico and start thinking about retirement. Is this the right decision? Maybe Carlos Vela has been just tired and wants to calm down.
