After Diego Cocca presented his first call-up as Mexico coach and spoke about the Alejandro Zendejas case, it was unofficially revealed that the player would turn down the Argentine coach and El Tri’s offer to play with the US national team for good.
According to the journalist Gibrán Araige published by TUDNZendejas would have already decided which country to represent. The Aguilas del America striker has chosen the US national team, although this has not yet been officially announced.
According to the communicator, the player would have analyzed his options and, judging by his surroundings, he feels more close to the US team. “Despite the fact that he thought about it, analyzed and saw the options, it was clearer in the world than in the US, he was in concentration. To get to Mexico, he has to make a change of federation, a decision for life, it seems to me that everything in his environment ultimately decides for the United States.
Araiž also revealed that the USMNT plans to call him up for the March FIFA date. “He didn’t appear on the (Cocca) list and that’s a clear message. The United States plans to challenge him to a FIFA date in March and the League of Nations. He will arrive physically well. People close to me told me that he feels more American, ”a TUDN journalist emphasized last Thursday.
The choice of stars and stripes is close to revealing the list of players for the Concacafe Nations League matches against Granada and El Salvador. Everything seems to indicate that Zendehas will be summoned and put an end to this chapter.
24 hours ago, Diego Cocca revealed the list of players who will take part in his first challenge at El Tri and explained that Zendejas is of interest to him, but the decision was made through the player.
The Juarez, Mexico-born winger became a naturalized American and has played for the USMNT in the under-17 category and for the senior team. He has also worn the Tri jersey in several games. For this reason, the 25-year-old had to sign a document definitively confirming his decision to play with Mexico, which he rejected last year when Gerardo “Tata” Martino was the coach.
