TThere is little time left until Mexico qualify for the World Cup, and there are many questions about who will be the starting line-up for the tournament. Well, it’s actually about every position on the field.
However, due to the lack of goals, special emphasis is placed on attacking. This lack of goals could be solved by the German Belterrame, Mexico’s best striker in 2025.
Mexican coach Javier Aguirre has other plans and is betting on the continuity of forward Raul Jimenez. The Rayados “Killer” will bid farewell in 2025 with a record of 27 goals in the Monterrey uniform. 7 goals in the Clausura in 2025, 3 goals in the play-offs 2 goals in the Concaf Champions Cup 3 goals in the Club World Cup 1 goal in the League Cup 9 goals in 2025 2 goals in the Apertura of Liguilla
Belterrame, dispute between Mexican national team and naturalized players
There is opposition to inviting naturalized players to wear Mexican national team uniforms.
From fans to sports communicators to journalists, opinions on Mexico’s participation in the national team range from mildly nationalistic positions to xenophobic comments.
Bertelame is enjoying the good moments as a player. The current situation in Mexican football also opens the door for his call-up, as there are not many talented players in his position from the country with the same number as him.
The weight of precedent for Guillermo Franco and Rogelio Funes Mori
For some fans, Berterame’s options will be to repeat an unforgivable mistake. In South Africa in 2010, coach Javier Aguirre believed that Guillermo Franco was the reason for the goals, but the results were not as expected.
In Qatar 2022, Guillermo Martino selected Rogelio Funes Mori, but nothing happened to him.
