The Mexican National Team got its ticket to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, after beating Canada in the semifinal of the Concacaf Pre-Olympic, which is why speculation is already beginning on the possible reinforcements that the ‘Tricolor’ will bring to the summer fair and among the options is LAFC forward Carlos Vela, of whom the coach of Mexico's senior team, Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino spoke and clarified his outlook for the Olympics.
Martino stressed that he will not intervene in the decision of the reinforcements for the U23 team, led by Jaime Lozano, although assured that it seems illogical that Vela is taken as an option, after the multiple rejections he has had to wear the ‘Tri’ shirt, since on different occasions he has shown his refusal to return, after playing the last World Cup in Russia 2018.
“What I did say in the case of Carlos, I already said it a long time ago, is that When one is at the disposal of selections, one is at the disposal of all the selections, one cannot be at the disposal of one selection yes and another selection no. It would seem illogical to me to resort to a footballer who is not totally willing to wear the national team jersey in the breadth of the word, “said the MLS champion coach with Atlanta United, before the friendly that Mexico will hold against Costa Rica, this Tuesday .
Carlos Vela appeared as one of the options that Mexico would have to strengthen itself in the next Olympic Games, in which could mean his return to the Mexican National Team, with which he has not been summoned by Gerardo Martino, after informing him that he would not answer the calls of his selection.
Carlos Vela himself opened the doors of being one of the three reinforcements of Mexico for the Olympic Games and although he said he would like to play this tournament, he is aware that the decision is not in his hands.
“I have never been, but it must be nice because of the expectations that people comment or colleagues who have had to go, it is something that is not repeated every day and obviously it is something new that would not be bad, but it is not in my handsI'm nobody to say if I'm going or not, “said the LAFC forward, who will face a new season and seek the MLS title.
