The player who made Cocca's job easier resigns from Mexico, official, he is not Carlos Vela

The athlete officially made the decision, not feeling considered within the new process. Although coach Diego Cocca, in his first press conference, stated that he does want to have everyone, another athlete joins Carlos Vela, who says no to the Mexican soccer team.

In this sense, the footballer explained to the media that he does not want to be part of the green team. His arguments are that it is no longer seen as a contribution and also to give space to new players, who can give the Mexican national team another twist.

Although it was directed by Diego Cocca, the decision has already been made by Javier Aquino, an element of the Tigres team, who in an interview for Medio Tiempo de México, questioned the call to the usual players, such as Héctor Moreno and Guillermo Ochoa.

For Aquino, the time has come to renew the Mexican team one hundred percent and in this way, try to find new figures that can contribute to at least two more processes. Aquino thus questioned Diego Cocca and his decisions about the historical players of Mexico.

Why does Diego Cocca keep calling the historical ones?

The Argentine coach at the service of the Mexican team believes that the historical players can provide support, from the sporting point of view but also from the transmission of experiences and experiences to the new players that he plans to call. For this reason, Cocca explained in his press conference that he gives the go-ahead so that people with years in El Tri can be there.

With this, the chance remains open for Guillermo Ochoa, Héctor Herrera, Héctor Moreno and Andrés Guardado to continue in the Mexican national team, for the 2026 World Cup process.
