Televisa is behind Carlos Vela’s veto from Mexico National Team

After being on the pitch in the round of 16 of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, where Brazil National Team eliminated El Tri by a 2-0 score, Carlos Vela hasn’t played a single game with Mexico National Team again.

If this coach arrives in El Tri, Carlos Vela will be the first on his list of players

Although for the first couple of years with Gerardo “Tata” Martino as Mexico National Team coach, El Tri only lost one game, since 2021, the performances of the Aztec team were diminished, especially after facing USMNT and Canada MNT.

That’s when it became evident that Martino was stuck with the same players and the same system that not always works against CONCACAF rivals, but he has refused to call different players, like Carlos Vela or Javier Hernández, not even when El Tri’s ticket to Qatar 2022 was jeopardized.

Why is Televisa behind his veto?

Televisa knew that Carlos Vela’s presence in El Tri will stop Diego Lainez’s development as an El Tri superstar, which is why they decided to keep him out of the calls. But also, because he was an inconvenience as he was the only player that spoke up about the prizes some players were getting from sponsors and that it wasn’t the same for everyone.
