The luxuries that Hugo Sanchez demanded when he played for the Mexican national team

When a Mexican player is selected to be part of the Mexican national team, it is normal that when he enters the group he tries to fit in so that he can integrate into the group more easily, something that can be vital at the time of playing since the more united a group is, the greater the probabilities of playing better as a whole.

For this reason, it is very common for national team players not to have special luxuries or attention when they join El Tri, since the idea is that everyone in the group is of equal value and that the more similarities there are among them, the easier it is for the team to play as a whole to develop better.

However, there are players who escape this rule, either because of their seniority, their leadership, or because they are simply the best elements of the Mexican national team, and this is exactly what happened when Hugo Sánchez was part of the Mexican national soccer team during the cycle directed by Miguel Mejía Barón in 1993, with a view to the 1994 FIFA World Cup. 

These were the luxuries that Hugo Sanchez demanded when he played for the Mexican national team

According to what Efraín Velarde, a player who shared a room with Hugo Sánchez in that World Cup process, confessed in an interview for a YouTube channel, the former Real Madrid player had luxuries that no one else in El Tri had, such as deciding with whom he shared a room, establishing limits in the common areas he shared with his teammates and even had a special menu when he finished training.

This menu consisted of Spanish-style appetizers with cheeses and wines inside his bedroom. And when it was time for jokes in the group when Sanchez spoke, the jokes in the group automatically ended and everyone shut up to listen to Real Madrid's Pentapichichi.
