How would the Mexican National Team play with Funes Mori?

The options at the front of the Tri have expanded in recent years. Now, Rogelio Funes Mori, attacker of Rayados de Monterrey, is shaping up to join the ranks of the Tricolor ahead of the next World Cup.

Although Raúl Alonso Jiménez is the undisputed holder of the Tri, Funes Mori could be a viable option to generate a fearsome duo at the front, or be the luxury change of the Wolverhampton forward.

After letting your imagination fly, in Goal We tell you the possible scenarios of the Tri with Funes Mori as the starter:

DUPLA JIMÉNEZ – FUNES MORI

It is clear that Raúl will not stop being the owner of Gerardo Martino’s painting unless something extraordinary happens between now and Qatar 2022. But faced with the possibility of adding Rayados to the striker, Tata could modify his scheme.

The national coach could use a 4-4-2 to join forces between Jiménez and Funes Mori. The mean would be made up of Andrés Saved and Héctor Herrera, while the bands would be Hirving Lozano and Tecatito Corona, who would be in charge of sending constant centers to the pair of great auctioneers that they would have available.

In this format, the coach could try the aforementioned training or a 5-3-2 he used in the game against Algeria. The expendable in this approach would be Lozano, since Tecatito could function as the offensive midfielder who grants passes to the two central forwards.

JIMÉNEZ FOR THE BAND?

The versatility it offers Raul could convince Martino to use it on the left side to a changed profile and Funes Mori in the center. This way, the Wolves man could cut and test his long-distance shot constantly, as well as find Rayados outside the area for him to do the same.
