The $1 million that made Hirving “Chucky” Lozano to forget how to score with Mexico National Team

Mexico National Team let escape the chance of not only breaking the recent hegemony that the Stars and Stripes have over El Tri, but also to ensure their ticket to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, given that Panama couldn’t win, and Costa Rica tied against Canada.

How long has it been since Chucky Lozano scored for the Mexican National Team?

Although it was USMNT who had the most dangerous plays of the game, the Aztec squad could have opened the scoresheet with a couple of shots outside the box and a long pass to Hirving “Chucky” Lozano, who didn’t wait to control the box and missed the ball.

 El Tri will face the last two games of the CONCACAF Qualifiers looking to win at least one of them to finally secure their presence in Qatar 2022, but they will have to do it with a “Chucky” Lozano that hasn’t scored with El Tri since last October.

Even if he’s one of the most important and unbalancing players that Mexico National Team has, he hasn’t been able to prove it on the pitch, as instead of focusing when he is called to play with El Tri, he usually is doing something else.

What is keeping Lozano from focusing in playing?

It’s no lie to say that Hirving Lozano is one of the most well-known Mexican players, but recently he hasn’t been playing up to the standards expected from a player of his caliber, as he has to fulfill other duties instead of training, planning and even resting.

Alongside players like Guillermo Ochoa, Jesús “Tecatito” Hernández and Héctor Herrera, Lozano is usually called to be part of the adds that El Tri sponsors require to record every time the Aztec squad are together on the FIFA match windows.

That’s why, instead of having only his mind on the next game, he has to attend several commitments that prevent him from playing at the high level he is used to when he’s with Napoli, as mistakes have become a usual thing for him when he wears El Tri’s colors.

He earns an extra $1 million

The bright side for “Chucky” Lozano is that El Tri sponsors pay him up to $1 million extra every match window for using his image to promote the several brands that require him for TV spots and social media adds.
