The reason why Héctor Herrera underperforms in Mexico National Team

The question that every fan of the Mexican National Soccer Team is asking is whether Tata has in his plans the physical potential of the United States' most lethal weapon in its offense and that is Christian Pulisic. 

Pulisic grew up in Hershey, Pennsylvania. His father Mark Pulisic, of Croatian descent, played professional indoor soccer for the Harrisburg Heat in the 1990s. Pulisic grew up playing for the PA Classics youth team, as well as occasionally training with the local professional Harrisburg City Islanders as a teenager. There he was snapped up by Borussia Dortmund, at just 16 years of age. Before that, he was in Detroit, where his father was general manager of the Detroit Ignition indoor soccer team. Interestingly, at the age of 7, he lived in England and for one season played for Brackley Town Football Club's youth teams. 

Today he is with Chelsea and is a star for the U.S. national team, as his Croatian ancestry makes him a skillful and precocious player in the penalty area. 

As can be seen in this analytical study conducted by our data analyst, we can visualize the high probability that Pulisic has to convert in the small area and on the sides of the penalty spot. 

He is the lethal weapon par excellence that the United States has in the area and Tata Martino will have to be careful not to fall into the trap and lead Mexico to a new international disappointment and away from Qatar 2022. 

One of Pulisic's skills is to have the same quality in both left and right foot, scoring goals in the box with both legs. 

Also, he has a great chance of converting in the air as long as the crosses fall in the six-yard box or near the goalkeeper, something Tata Martino has to be very careful with.

Without a doubt he is a player of the so-called "cracks", the question is: Will Tata Martino has a strategy to neutralize such an offensive player?
