The forwards who aim for the process of Diego Cocca

Diego Cocca will have several options for his axis of attack

On the eve of Diego Cocca giving his first official squad list for the commitments against Jamaica and Suriname, there are several forward centers who, based on events on the field, raised their hands to be part of this new management. Although Henry Martin and Santiago Giménez start as the favorites for the position, attackers like Javier Hernández, Funes Mori and Víctor Guzmán are athletes who continue to make merits to return to the “Tri”.

Gerardo Martino, candidate to lead Tigres

Despite his failure with the Mexican National Team, “Tata” could continue his career as a coach in Mexican soccer

The appointment of Diego Cocca as the new coach of the Mexican National Team began the new World Cup cycle for 2026, a tournament that will take place in the three North American countries. As a result, the Argentine helmsman has already begun to analyze the possible players who will be present in his first call for the end of March during the first FIFA date of the year.

Next we leave the merits that each forward center has to be considered by the new technical director of the Aztec team.

The current striker for the Águilas del América and a World Cup player in Qatar 2022, is going through the best moment of his entire professional career. In the present Clausura 2023 he is the solo scoring leader with 10 scores in nine games played, in addition to having distributed three assists. For a large part of the fans, he is considered the best Mexican striker of the moment.

Since Apertura 2022, “La Bomba” demonstrated a good level, which he capitalized with 13 goals in 21 games, already including the tournament league. As a result of his good moment, the former Tricolor strategist, Gerardo Martino, chose to take him to the World Cup in Qatar where he managed to score one of the two goals scored by the Aztec team.

As well as Henry, another of the forwards who is in a good moment, is Santiago Giménez, who has managed to consolidate with Feyenoord in the Netherlands. Being only his first season in the old continent, “El Bebote” did not show any problem to adapt to his new club and since his arrival last summer, he began to score goals in different competitions.

How much do tickets cost to see Diego Cocca’s debut with El Tri at the Azteca

The coach of the Mexican team is about to make his debut in front of the Tricolor fans at the Coloso de Santa Úrsula for the Mexico vs. Jamaica game

It should be remembered that prior to his arrival with the Dutch team, Santi stood out in the first days of Apertura 2022 with Cruz Azul and managed to score 5 goals in the five duels he played. If his commitments with “La Máquina” and those he has in his first campaign within the old continent are counted, he accumulates 17 goals in 35 games.

Subsequently, there is the peculiar case of “Chicharito” Hernández, who was not present during the entire era of “Tata” Martino due to personal problems, which prevented him from playing in the last World Cup. However, already having Diego Cocca as coach of the National Team, it is speculated that his return may be a reality.

Although the MLS season is just beginning and Javier is injured (2-5 more weeks), his quality when defending the national jersey is unquestionable. Despite his absence for the past four years, the former United striker remains the Tricolor’s all-time top scorer with 52 goals.

Another of the forwards that must be taken into account is Rogelio Funes Mori. The Argentine naturalized Mexican continues to score goals with the Rayados de Monterrey and in this tournament he has already accumulated seven goals in nine games played. In recent weeks, “El Mellizo” expressed his desire to continue defending the Mexico shirt.

Last but not least, you have the current attacker for Chivas, Víctor “Pocho” Guzmán. Despite not being one of the main scorers of the Clausura 2023, since he has scored four goals in eight matches, he is one of the most decisive footballers of the “Sacred Flock”. Unlike the aforementioned, Víctor can play as an attacking midfielder, which makes him a more versatile player who can leave the box.
