A player who deserved more chances..
Not saying he deserved to go this year, but Tecatito is one of the players who deserved to get more chances in the national team.
- In 2014, he didn’t even go to the World Cup, despite having a good 2012 Club World Cup and adjusting to Europe later on. He didn’t make his Mexico debut until Carlos Vela returned to the national team, which was the game against Netherlands that happened after the World Cup (where Tecatito got a good assist when Carlos Vela scored)
- In 2018, he was the benchwarmer to players like Carlos Vela (who was already slowing down and in the MLS. He was still good, but 2018 national team Vela was not as quick nor the same as the versions of Vela that was before that year), a good Layun, and a good Lozano
- In 2022, he didn’t even go because of constant injuries (he even had a black eye at some point), which is a shame, since 2020 and 2021 were his best years.
