Mexico international Carlos Vela has stressed that the players will support Juan Carlos Osorio, should he remain their head coach for the upcoming years. Osorio’s future with Mexico has been put into doubt following another round of 16 at the World Cup but the country’s football federation have yet to confirm where his contract would be extended for another four years.

Speaking to reporters, Vela said: “The players will support him if he stays, but it's not our decision to make. The federation is in the midst of several changes. They don't know yet what's going to happen so I don't think it's the time to discuss it. The moment will come to see who stays and who doesn't so that decisions can be made.”

Carlos Vela claims that he is not sure if he will be part of the Mexican national team anymore. The striker has had several issues with representing Mexico throughout his career. He refused to be part of the national team from 2010 to 2014, but there was a surprise inclusion back into the squad for the 2018 edition. The former Arsenal and Real Sociedad striker was of a major influence at the World Cup 2018 as Mexico reached the quarter-finals of the competition. Their regular nemesis Brazil were once again the reason for Mexico being knocked out of a major tournament.

Vela’s indecisiveness with the national team does not seem to be going away anytime soon, as the striker has now claimed that his participation at the World Cup 2022 depends on the status of the Mexican federation. Mexico are expected to undergo a managerial change, as coach Juan Carlos Osorio has been coming under a lot of interest from other South American nations.Osorio was able to transform the fortunes of Mexico and they were within a whisker of reaching the semifinals. Mexico also created a lot of talk at the World Cup after a historic win over Germany in the group stages.

Former Arsenal player and Mexico international Carlos Vela believes that England can win the World Cup in Russia. He said that it has been an impressive tournament so far for Gareth Southgate’s man and that he is sure that they can go all the way and lift the trophy.

He said that the team has shown their quality as well as their determination to win the trophy and there is no doubt that they have the talent to win the trophy.

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill believes that Carlos Vela lacks physical strength as a footballer and this is the main reason why he did not succeed in the Premier League.

Indeed the Mexican international played for some time in England with Arsenal before making the switch to the Major League Soccer.

Mexico legend Jared Borgetti believes El Tri striker Javier Hernandez would be fundamental to the country’s success at the summer World Cup. The West Ham United have struggled to find the net on a consistent basis since the turn of the year but Borgetti has hailed the marksman’s mentality on the playing field. Speaking to ESPN FC, he said:

“Chicharito's mentally is very strong and he has a lot of confidence in himself and in what he can do. He's been in two previous World Cups and he's not been a starter, but he's been key in the games.”

Mexican forward Carlos Vela claims that his national team are capable of beating any opponent who comes their way in the World Cup and this even includes favourites for the tournament, Germany. Vela has had several hiccups with the national team and decided not to be part of the Mexican team at the World Cup 2014.

Mexico legend Luis Hernandez believes that the likes of Carlos Vela can reach their best level ahead of the summer World Cup despite making the switch to Major League Soccer. Giovani and Jonathan dos Santos have been widely criticised since leaving the Spanish La Liga for LA Galaxy whilst Carlos Vela move to expansion franchise Los Angeles FC has also been met with muchscepticism amid fears that his form could be hampered.

Mexico international Carlos Vela is rooting for clubs in the Liga MX during this season’s CONCACAF Champions League. The 29-year-old became Los Angeles FC’s first recruit late last year, but he is still hopeful that his native country’s clubs prevail in the Champions League. Three MLS clubs — the New York Red Bulls, Seattle Sounders, and Toronto FC — presently have their upper hand over their Liga MX rivals, but the tie is very much on with a second leg left to play.

Mexico international Carlos Vela believes international players featuring in the MLS are better prepared for the summer World Cup in Russia. A number of El Tri’s players in Mexico and other European leagues ply their trade on a fall-to-spring calendar, and this sees them with an extended schedule ahead of the global tournament.

Javier Hernandez has set high expectations with Mexico for this summer's World Cup finals in Russia. The 29-year-old has not had a fond time since his move to West Ham United last summer, but he still remains a crucial player for the El Tri in the frontline.

In a report covered by Goal.com, Hernandez admits that the nation are aiming to achieve greater heights at the global tournament with the current side oozing with genuine attacking threat. Mexico have struggled to progress beyond the quarter-final stage of the World Cup, but Hernandez is hoping to reach the final and even win the showpiece tournament.
