One of the debates left by the recent failure of the Mexican National Team in the Nations League was whether the national player lacks talent or discipline, which led former soccer player Herculez Gómez to vent to Oswaldo Sánchez for his limited availability to work.
The now ESPN analyst considered that today players are willing to comply with the demands of their profession, contrary to what Diego Cocca said, although he pointed out that there are some negative exceptions that overshadow good efforts, as was the case of goalie.
“They are all professionals, the thing is that not all of them have the reputation of being professionals. Tuca Ferretti is not going to let me lie, when I played with him we worked a lot, we worked well and you could even say that it was too much. There was no a lack of professionalism,” Gómez began, after a question from Álvaro Morales.
What did Hérculez Gómez say about Oswaldo Sánchez?
However, his comment immediately became a reference to Oswaldo Sánchez, with whom he coincided between 2012 and 2013 with the Guerreros, a club in which he experienced first-hand the goalkeeper’s way of working.
“What happens is that there are a few who ruin the majority, when I was in Santos, for example, Pedro Caixinha arrived, there were three training sessions a day and I remember very well that Oswaldo Sánchez once said ‘that’s not how a footballer works.’ Mexican, we are not used to this type of work.”’
He insisted that the majority of footballers “show up and work” without making a fuss, contrary to other sacred cows.
“I think that suddenly an old generation has given this reputation that the Mexican player may not work, but I see these new generations and I see them prepared.”
