The defender assures that an assistant to Gerardo Martino disrespected him and that is why he reacted in the way he was removed from the Mexican National Team in 2021
the defender carlos salcedo assures that it was Jorge Theiler, assistant to the then technician of the Gerardo Martino Mexican National Teamwho verbally disrespected him and that is why he reacted badly on the bench during the 2021 Gold Cup final, which ultimately distanced him from future calls.
“Of course, he was the first to attack me and then I got hot,” Salcedo said in an interview with ESPNremembering when they sent him to do warm-up exercises during the Final against the United States, in which he no longer started after missing a penalty in the semifinal against Canada.
“The last thing I have is a bad person. I’m not envious or anything; I like people to do well. Why? Well, that’s my way of thinking, you know? That’s my modus operandi and it has gone well for me being that way. So, on the one hand, I did get mad when ‘Flaco’ (Jorge Theiler) told me that these are things that happen in football and then they didn’t call me (to the National Team), you know? ‘Tata’ (Gerardo Martino) had his reasons. Maybe, in my way of seeing life, it could have been handled differently,” he said. carlos salcedo two years after the incident.
The same way, carlos salcedo explained the source of the problem with Gerard Martino and the “Skinny” Theiler.
“I had been carrying a heel injury and I did not want to go to the Gold Cup (2021). I told (Carlos) Peçanha (physiotherapist at the Selection Mexicana), did you know? Infiltrate me, because I had had a talk there with the mister (Gerard Martino) back then. She had already told him that she didn’t want to be there; He obviously piqued my pride, because he told me that it was easy for us Mexicans to dismiss the national team very easily. And I told him no, but it is that he has been hurting me for a long time, so then I infiltrate and the penalty thing happens “.
“I have had technicians who put collectors one and two; if this is not there, the other and there was not. So, I felt with the support of my colleagues and at dinner we had discussed it. Also Hector Moreno He had said ‘I’ll charge it’. back then Moreno He tells me, ‘no, you give it’ and boom!, I miss it. I had been playing all the games and for the final he took me out, ”she commented.
After the wrong penalty, carlos salcedo and Jorge Theiler had a disagreement on the bench.
“Since he had the ankle, he was obviously angry, because I went to the corner kick and did one, two exercises and they tell me ‘no, you see’ and I ‘pu… ma…, I need to warm up the ankle’ , because it’s not like something (mild); I was nothing short of getting plantar fasciitis and it takes four or five months to get rid of plantar fasciitis.”
“He (Theiler) was the first to attack me and then I got hot. And in the end, that’s why I talk to my colleagues, because obviously in that two-month process, despite the fact that Gerard Martino He had already told me that what had happened with Jorge, since I had disrespected him it was like doing it to him, he told me ‘I don’t think you’ll come back (to Mexican team)’, I told him ‘no, it’s fine’, I also told him my point of view. I am a person who does not hide anything and I told him, in my anger, “I am already fed up with the management that is happening today within the National Team and I don’t care…”, he expressed.
After the incident, carlos salcedo He reflected on his attitude and described it as bad towards his classmates due to the group and coexistence.
“I felt like the worst garbage there was because obviously they didn’t deserve my treatment; two years have passed and obviously I learned that my teammates are my brothers and they, the things that happen and the decision that the coach makes, I It’s time to be off the field, on the field, in the stands, I have to give. Before, I didn’t understand it that way, so now I’m honest and those situations have happened, but in the end each one takes them and each one evolves or wants to do the same. things different from how he doesn’t like them,” he said.
Regarding the things that were not to the liking of carlos salcedo con Gerard Martino on the bench of the Mexican teamthe defender tried to talk to the Argentine to make him see aspects that differentiated him from the two previous coaches, however, he assured that he could not influence a coach who was twice his age and had more experience.
“Two technicians had already touched me (in the Mexican team). Miguel Herrera makes my debut, I follow the process with Professor Osorio and there were things that I did not like, that I saw them and at the time I spoke with Martino, as if to help him change a little, but in the end you have to know that maybe that was the essence of him. I, a 27-year-old boy at the time, cannot influence the decision of someone twice my age and who has much more experience than me.”
“I tried to make him see things by comparing what these two coaches had been with him, obviously always telling him ‘your essence has to remain’ and well, if he didn’t take it that way, in the World Cup, at least me, and without him “Nobody told me, I noticed a team was annoyed. I don’t know, it looked like something strange, something strange,” he concluded.
