Gerardo Martino unveiled the list of players with whom he will face the final phase of the Concacaf octagonal on his way to Qatar 2022. His call showed some surprising absences and reappearances, but one sector of the fans was dissatisfied. That group included David Faitelson, who defended the level of Alan Mozo, lateral defender of the Pumas of the National University, and regretted his absence.

Through his Twitter account, the journalist for ESPN criticized Martino's decision to relegate who he considered to be the best player in his position in all of Mexican football. “I don't understand about Alan Mozo. There is no better right-back in all of Mexican football. 'Tata' Martino doesn't like it,” he said in his verified profile @Faitelson_ESPN.

The defender of the Pumas of the National University has earned the esteem of a sector of the national football fans. His determination and dedication on the pitch have consolidated him as one of the figures on the squad led by Andrés Lillin i, although he has also shown technical and tactical arguments that have led him to participate in offensive plays with his team despite playing behind.

Like Faitelson, several experts have considered that Alan Mozo has enough level to be called up and even be part of the starting lineup in the Tricolor. In the current semester, the 24-year-old has participated in 14 matches and recorded 8 assists on goal, between Liga MX and Concacaf Champions League matches.

His good football level has also been recognized by his dressing teammates. “We have the best goalkeeper in the country, we have a winger like Alan who is impressive, hopefully at some point they will value him as he really should. We have a team that is strong in the group and that also strengthens their individualities,” said Juan Dinenno after coming back from the New England Revolution in the Concacaf Champions League.
