Hirving Lozano is one of the new faces of the Mexican national team in the process of Rafa Márquez. The “Chucky” had several calls apart from the selection. The coach explained the reasons for his return.

“Chucky” has not been on a call for the Mexican national team since November 2025.Nearly a year later, Hirving Lozano returns to the universe of El Tri.

“What makes me bring Hirving I think he can still give us something more, he’s a differential player, we know what he can give us,” he said.

Hirving Lozano was linked to alleged problems within the Aztecs’ clothing. This, in principle, would have removed it from El Tri's orbit. In addition, the “Chucky” had problems with his former club, San Diego FC. The former player of the Pachuca was apart from the team until he managed to be ceded.

Rafa Márquez explained that he wants footballers who feel proud of the colors he is representing. Regardless of past mistakes, the “Káiser” wants elements with an unparalleled competitive thirst. This may have been seen by Lozano.

“I want the players to wear the jersey proudly, and whatever happens in the game fight to the end (...) Unfortunately we did nothing different from past World Cups, but we will try to get the fans to identify themselves in how we fought the fair past, wearing all this coat,” he said.

“Chucky” Lozano managed to escape the punishment imposed by the leaders of San Diego FC and went down to Los Angeles Galaxy. Since arriving at this new club, Lozano has been able to play eight games in which he has been able to provide a goal and two assists.
