Who is Tatiana Flores and why did she prefer the Mexico National Team over England?

Tatiana Flores is the name of the young woman who has amazed Mexican soccer fans because despite having a secure position in the England women's team, she decided to represent the national team. Tatiana is only 17 years old and already works as an attacker in English soccer Chelsea, a team where she was able to show all her talent and attract the attention of the British team, in which she came to represent in lower categories. However, his heart was always with Mexico.

Tatiana Flores, Marcelo Flores' sister, scored four goals in Chelsea FC's U-17 win over Brighton last Saturday, January 15. Tatiana played for 60 minutes, but they were enough to score four times and continue to add minutes with the youth teams of the women's team. The player with Mexican nationality started in the starting eleven and made her presence felt on the scoreboard after 16 minutes and before coming off the bench she scored a hat-trick, which her team had already won 6-0.

Flores has been part of the Mexican National Team, in several categories, playing in different concentrations, although she has also been called by England to participate in different events.

Tatiana, like her siblings Marcelo, who plays for Arsenal, and Silvana, who plays for Tottenham, were born in Canada, but are of British descent.
