The Mexican team football left this Monday from Mexico City to Girona, where he will make his last tour before making his debut in the World Cup Qatar 2022 next November 22 against Poland. “We travel with all the enthusiasm and commitment to leave everything on the field for # MéxicoDeMiVida,” El Tri shared on his Twitter account.
The Mexicans left for Girona with a base of soccer players from the Mexican league and Héctor Herrera, a midfielder for the American Houston Dynamo. Among the soccer players who got on the plane are Guillermo Ochoa, goalkeeper of the Águilas del América; Alexis Vega, winger for Chivas del Guadalajara, and Rogelio Funes Mori, forward for Rayados del Monterrey.
The last to join the group that traveled to Spain were the players from the Tuzos del Pachuca: Kevin Álvarez, Luis Chávez and Erick Sánchez, who this Sunday were proclaimed champions of the Apertura 2022 tournament by beating Toluca in the final.
It is expected that later the players who play in European football will be integrated, among which Edson Álvarez, midfielder of the Dutch Ajax, and Hirving Lozano, of the Italian Napoli, stand out.
‘Tata Martino’ took 31 players
All the soccer players who got on the plane are part of a list of 31 that the Argentine Gerardo Martino, coach of Mexico, announced last Wednesday, from which the 26 who will play the World Cup will come out.
In Girona, Mexico will begin a concentration in which they will play two friendly matches, against Iraq, on November 9, and against Sweden, on November 16.
Martino has been in Girona since last Friday, where he prepared the last details to receive his players, who will meet him in a few hours.
Mexico is part of group C in Qatar and after challenging Poland, it will face Argentina on November 26 and will close the first round by taking on Saudi Arabia on the 30th.
In Qatar, the Mexicans seek to overcome the barrier of the round of 16, in which they have remained in their last seven participations. El Tri has only played in the quarterfinals on the two occasions it has hosted the World Cup: 1970 and 1986.
