The Mexican National Team could have one of the most unexpected decisions for the 2026 World Cup, as just a few days before Javier Aguirre delivers the final list of 26 players for the World Cup<\/a> to be played in Mexico, the United States and Canada, the name of young defender Alejandro G\u00f3mez is beginning to gain strength within El Tri, while Germ\u00e1n Berterame would be one of those sacrificed.<\/p>\n

According to what the coaching staff worked on during the preparation of the Mexican National Team, Aguirre was convinced by the performance of Alejandro G\u00f3mez, a player who was originally called only as a sparring partner since the beginning of the training camp on May 6.<\/p>\n

The defender, a product of the Atlas youth academy, caught the attention of “Vasco” thanks to his performances in training.<\/p>\n

Especially during the friendly match against Ghana in Puebla.<\/p>\n

His left-footed profile and ability to play out of defense would be key factors for the Mexican coach to seriously consider him for the final roster.<\/p>\n

Currently, Mexico does not have too many natural options as Johan Vasquez’s understudy left center back.<\/p>\n

Javier Aguirre decided not to initially consider Everardo L\u00f3pez and was also unable to fully evaluate Jes\u00fas Orozco due to the ankle problems he suffered during most of the semester.<\/p>\n

That scenario opened the door for Alejandro G\u00f3mez, known in the dressing room as “Pue”, who also knows what it is like to represent the Mexican National Team in international competitions.<\/p>\n

Aguirre was reportedly convinced of his performance<\/p>Qu\u00e9Onnda.com<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n

Although many fans in the United States are just beginning to hear his name, Alejandro G\u00f3mez has international experience, as he was an important part of the Mexican U-17 National Team that reached the final of the Brazil 2019 World Cup against the host team.<\/p>\n

In addition, the defender has already had experience in Europe after playing with Boavista of Portugal.<\/p>\n

This before returning to Mexican soccer with Xolos de Tijuana.<\/p>\n

Berterame would lose his place in El Tri<\/h2>\n

While Alejandro G\u00f3mez is gaining ground, the outlook seems to be getting more complicated for Germ\u00e1n Berterame in the Mexican National Team.<\/p>\n

The naturalized Mexican striker would be one of the players to be discarded due to the strong offensive competition that currently exists in the squad.<\/p>\n

Javier Aguirre has several options in attack.<\/p>\n

It also has variants such as Orbel\u00edn Pineda and Roberto “Piojo” Alvarado to occupy offensive positions on the flanks.<\/p>\n

The situation would have considerably reduced Berterame’s chances.<\/p>\n

He also lost prominence after his arrival at Inter Miami after having excelled with Rayados de Monterrey.<\/p>\n

Mexico’s official roster for the 2026 World Cup will be presented on June 1.<\/p>\n

Everything indicates that it could bring several surprises for Mexican fans inside and outside the United States.<\/p>\n
