The 4 Mexicans who did not contest a minute in Russia

The rotations are the most characteristic feature of Juan Carlos Osorio and the repetition of an alignment is not part of his strategy. However, in Russia 2018, he repeated for the first time an alignment after 51 games. Unfortunately, it was the match that was lost against Sweden.

Due to Osorio's "non-rotations" in this World Cup, 4 players remained without minutes of play and others played only a few.

Javier Aquino was the most surprised. The Tigres player, who had already been a World Cup player in Brazil in 2014, where he played only 24 minutes. 4 years later and with more maturity, the player came to Russia excited about the World Cup serving him to return to Europe, but having no minutes, he extinguished his dream of playing again in the old continent.

Erick Gutiérrez player who took the place of injured Diego Reyes, also had no activity, however, being a younger player, he hopes to be part of the future process of the Cup world.

Jesús Corona and Alfredo Talavera stayed again, without questioning the minutes. And it is that the performances of Paco Memo were a big obstacle for Osorio to notice them, as it was the case 4 years ago in Brazil 2014.

The players who played the least minutes are: Oribe Peralta (1), Giovani Dos Santos (13), Marco Fabián (25), Tecatito Corona (34) and Jonathan Dos Santos (36).
