Mexico suffers: USMNT could have stolen the new Carlos Vela

USMNT are forming an incredible squad that could be able to compete with some of the best national teams in the world. To mention, there are players from Barcelona, Chelsea, Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund that will be playing the matches of the next international break.

But, those stars playing at some of the best European teams are not the only ones to look at the team coached by Gregg Berhalter, as there are some other top young prospects that may have an incredible future. This is the case of Richard Ledesma, the offensive midfielder aged 20.

He could have been eligible for Mexico, but USMNT called him, and he will be playing against Wales and Panamá on November 12 and 16, respectively. As the FIFA rules changed, he may be called in the future for the Tri, but U.S. gave the first step and it will be hard to convince him to change now.

Ledezma has a particular story, very similar to Carlos Vela: they were called-up for the national team first than making their professional debut. Vela played for the first time for Mexico on September 12 of 2007, 15 days before making his debut at first division with Osasuna. Ledezma was playing for PSV U21 and debuted this week, after his call-up for USMNT.
