Hernandez could have been in Mexico’s Copa team: Coach
Orlando: Mexico coach Miguel Herrera revealed their leading striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez could have played at ongoing Copa America football tournament.
Mexico are alos scheduled to compete at the Gold Cup shortly, the 47-year-old opted to omit the forward from the Copa America, along with other high-profile names like Carlos Vela and Andres Guardado.
Mexico were eliminated from the Copa after picking up only two points from Group A, but Herrera has now admitted that there was no clear chain of command to get permission to feature players across both competitions.
“We didn’t know who to talk to in order to ask for Chicharito to play at either the Copa America or the Gold Cup,” he said at a press conference on Tuesday.
“We would love to have had Chicharito with us, but the ‘what might have been’ doesn’t exist.”
Mexico began their Copa campaign with a goalless draw against Bolivia, then split points again with Chile in a 3-3 result, before falling 1-2 to Ecuador, which ended their qualification hopes.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
