It seems that Rafael Márquez has it more than clear in the start of his management by giving to know as great newties in his first list of convocated to the goalkeeper Alex Padilla, the return of Hirving Lozano and Germán Berterme, as well as the first call of Diego Campillo, Alex Cervantes, Santiago Sandoval, Isaías Violante and Hugo Camberos.

The new captain of the national ship with his call demonstrated to have much more faith to the talent that walks on the fields of the old continent than to the footballers who leave their soul week by week on the terrain of the MX League.

The process continues, but in a new chapter. The first call for Rafael Márquez as our national team’s DT has arrived! Unconditional, these are the 30 selected for the September and October FIFA Date. These are ours and we are all going together! to ? pic.twitter.com/hGxepvu7wJ

That preference for the European aroma is made evident with the call of the goalkeeper Alex Padilla. Athletic Bilbao’s goalkeeper begins this new cycle under the lupa despite the fact that at the start of Spanish LaLiga he has not added minutes of activity, eating up the bank as the replacement of Unai Simón, the indisputable head of the Spanish national team.

Under this panorama, where the Tricolor has a technical body filled with Iberian names, now the option of handing out Padilla is added. The archer is of Spanish origin, but has Mexican descent that allows him to wear the green.

It must be remembered that the youth had already been taken into account in some concentration of the previous process commanded by Javier Aguirre, although in the end the “Vasco” ended up leaving it out of the definitive list for the past World Cup.

The predilection for the Spanish football environment is no coincidence in the national bunker. Except for the historic Andrés Guardado, the rest of Rafael Marquez’s closest collaborators speak with a Spanish accent.

Characters like Juan Manuel Lillo, Vidal Paloma, Xabier Mancisidor and Pol Llorente carry the baton of tactical planning, and now open the doors for the incorporation of a goalkeeper who practically has no rhythm of play in his club.

The decision to bring Padilla means an authentic cup of cold water for several goalkeepers from the local tournament. Archeres such as Andrés Sánchez of Atlético San Luis, Carlos Moreno del Pachuca or the experienced Rodolfo Cota of America have remained at the pace of competition, showing the ability and reflexes needed to raise the hand, but will have to continue waiting for their turn in the row.

Within the carousel of versions surrounding the High Performance Centre, it is assured that this first list will leave out sacred cows of the past worldwide fair like Raúl Jiménez, Edson Álvarez and Julián Quiñones.

In contrast, the big newties of the poster are the return of Hirving Lozano and Germán Berteram and the appearance of Padilla alongside Óscar García del León, the latter with the firm intention that it is visited closely by Xabier Mancisidor, the new guru of the national team.

They also appear as Hugo Camberos, Diego Campillo and Santiago Sandoval de Chivas, Alan Cervantes and Isaías Violante del América, in a new face of the national picture under the command of the Kaiser of Michoacán.

The skeleton of the call will have a marked tapatío taste, since a base of between five and six footballers belonging to the Chivas of Guadalajara is profiled. The idea of the technical body is that the thick of the plant report immediately, while the remaining elements will be incorporated gradually to be in tune with the second commitment of the tour.

In this way is drawn the barrage of footballers that will integrate the different sectors of the field: In the goal were called: Raúl Rangel, Óscar García and Álex Padilla

For the defensive line appear: Israel Reyes, Jesús Gallardo, Mateo Chávez, Víctor Guzmán, Diego Campillo, Everardo López, Jorge Sánchez, Johan Vázquez and César Montes.

Half of the pitch will be composed by Denzell García, Luis Chávez, Luis Romo, Erik Lira, Orbelín Pineda, Obed Vargas, Álvaro Fidalgo, Alan Cervantes, Jeremy Márquez and Gilberto Mora.

The area of attack was under the responsibility of Hirving Lozano, Santiago Giménez, Roberto Alvarado, Santiago Sandoval, Armando González, Isaías Violante, Santiago Giménez, Hugo Camberos and Germán Berterame.
