Scares that give pleasure! the news that Marcelo Flores “did not enter” call of the Mexican National Team (for him Premundial Sub 20) made us raise both eyebrows. But everything has an explanation and it turns out to be a very good news.
It was this June 8 when the call for the Under 20 World Cup to be played in Honduras. And of course, the first thing that caught my attention was the absence of Marcelo Flores.
The footballer, who does not do much decided to always play for Mexico, He is in the High Performance Center with the category team, so not seeing him in the final list It shook more than one (Look, we are surprised with the absence of Charlyn Corral in the women’s and now this…).
Marcelo Flores will not play the World Cup… to focus on Arsenal’s first team
But as I was saying, the subject of Marcelo Flores has an explanation and it turns out to be very favorable for the player. The absence in the Premundial Sub 20 it is because Arsenal requested that he join the first team pre-season (It’s!!).
“For us it would be important to have him, but unfortunately for us and fortunately for him, going to do the preseason with the Arsenalwith his club hopefully he can consolidate and can show that he can play in the first team. That’s why he can’t be here, hopefully he can consolidate in his club”, declared Luis Pérez, coach of the Mexican National Team Sub 20according to words taken up by ESPN.
Marcelo Flores will seek to make a place in the Arsenal first team ahead of the 2022-23 season, which will undergo changes in the calendar due to the fact that The World Cup is played for the first time in November.
He already saw his debut in the Premier League close
The Mexican was very close to making his debut in the Gunners’ defeat against Crystal Palacegame that was played at Selhurst Park Stadium on April 4. Flores was called up for the game, but despite being down on the scoreboard and needing attacking variants (qualities typical of Marcelo) Mikel Arteta did not give him minutes.
The Tri Sub 20 will play the Premundial of the category between June 18 and July 3. Mexico is in Group F with Suriname, Haiti and Trinidad and Tobago.
