The Mexican National Team must beat Panama to keep Gerardo Martino as coach

Not everything is happiness. The Mexican National Team will face Panama for the Concacaf Qualifiers heading to Qatar 2022 and must take the three points if they want to continue keeping their coach. The results of the ‘Tri’ have not pleased, so Tata Martino’s permanence depends on the match on Wednesday, February 2.

The Mexican team wants to secure second place and, to do so, they must defeat Panama. In the event of a defeat, Mexico would fall into the risk of finishing fourth, just as a draw would complicate their situation.

The fans were uncomfortable with the draw against Costa Rica at the Azteca Stadium and the phrase “Tata out” could be heard inside the venue.

Given this, various names began to emerge for his replacement, with the name ‘El Piojo’ Herrera being the most feasible option considered by the Mexican Football Federation), according to Fox Sports journalist Fernando Cevallos.

Mexico vs. Panama: the previous

The Mexican team will try to drown the Panama team at the height of the Azteca to add three points and set foot in the World Cup in Qatar. The ‘Tri’ has added only four units in its last four games. They lost to the United States and Canada, beat Jamaica and tied with Costa Rica, which sent them to third place in the table with 18 points, the same as the United States, four behind leader Canada and one above Panama.

Defeating the Panamanians will mean for the ‘Tri’ to take oxygen, but if they lose or tie it will complicate their situation three days before finishing the championship. “The Panama game is still a final, it was before the FIFA date and now that they won at home in Jamaica, we have a decisive game again and it is worth one of the places in the World Cup”, recognized the Argentine Gerardo Martino, coach of Mexico.
