Between tell me and diretes, Funes Mori made his way into the Mexican National Team of Gerardo Martino, taking advantage of the apparent veto of Javier Hernández and the absence of Raúl Jiménez due to a major injury that left him out of activity for practically the last 8 months.
This decision automatically generates the opportunity for other foreigners to obtain Mexican naturalization and to open a position in the national team, if Gerardo Martino or the coach in turn so wishes. One of the footballers who raises his hand to complement this process is the Liga Mx scoring champion with Toluca, Pedro Alexis Canelo.

“I would like to have a challenge similar to Funes Mori. It is my wish as a professional to want to measure yourself at that level, you prepare yourself for that. I hope it is given to me. I wanted to start the naturalization process because it is a long process and then wait and see. If I am given the opportunity. I hope I can give something back on the pitch to a country that opened the doors for me to pursue my career, to which I feel I owe a lot. “

Although Canelo can claim to be the top scorer of the last tournament, his path looks much more complex, since his natural position is covered by Hirving Lozano, Jesús Manel Corona, as well as young people in progression such as Laínez, Uriel Antuna among others.
