Mikel Arriola, hero or villain in the chaos in the Mexico team over the Toluca players?

Mikel Arriola he ended up as the rocketeer in the environment of the Mexican team, because while a sector of the press points to him as the generator of chaos by suggesting to the “Vasco” Aguirre who let Alexis Vega and Jesús Gallardo play with Toluca, others claim that the former Mexican government official, He was the one who stopped what threatened to become a catastrophe in the Tricolor.

The only thing that is certain is that this afternoon everyone threw their weight and forced the national coach Javier Aguirre, together with Duilio Davino, director of national teams, had to lead a press conference which became a monologue where no questions or answers were accepted, to reaffirm that there is full support for the Mexican team.

Just in this report from Vasco Aguirre it was established that the support is total and that this Wednesday the twelve Liga MX players called up for the World Cup They must show up at 8:00 p.m. or else they will lose their opportunity to play in the World Cup.

Prior to all this mess, where with justified reason the owner of Chivas, Amaury Vergara, lit the bonfire by threatening not to lend his players to the Mexican team by claiming that the agreements were respected and since permission was granted to the two Toluca players, he instructed his subordinates to summon the five summoned from the “Sacred Flock” to report to training during the course of this day to train for Saturday’s game against Tigres.

But the big question: who was in charge to authorize the Red Devils players not to appear with the Mexican national team and play against LAFC this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Nemesio Diez stadium?

The most seasoned versions claim that Mikel Arriola was the first to negotiate the permit with the national coach Javier Aguirre and He accepted when he did not see that there was any inconvenience or impact on the Liga MX clubs. for being a Concachampions duel against the Angelenos.

But hours later his perspective had the justified claim of the owner of Chivas, Amaury Vergara, who felt affected by this decision considering that his team had joined the support that the national coach himself asked the Assembly of Team Owners of the Liga MX so that they would authorize him to have the selected ones and not play the league.

The story then told itself. Because Chivas lost to Tigres 3-1, without five of their teams: Raúl “Tala” Rangel, Luis Romo, Roberto Alvarado, Brian Gutiérrez and Armando Gonzálezso the permission to the Toluca players was interpreted as a lack of respect and ordered that his players not attend the start of the World Cup work scheduled for this May 6 at the CAR.

He then published a forceful message on his official account of the X social network, where he instructed his non-public to summon the five selected to his facilities so they could train with coach Gabriel Milito and that was where all the chaos was generated.

For that reason they showed up at the Chivas facilities. Raúl Rangel, Luis Romo, Roberto Alvarado and Armando González, awaiting instructions, and Brian Gutiérrezwho traveled to Chicago to see his family, is also waiting for news to find out where he is traveling to, whether to CDMX or Perla Tapatia.

This Wednesday, from early in the morning, it is said that the phones did not stop ringing to try to convince the owner of Guadalajara to reverse his decision, assuring him that the two Toluca players will report to the national team and will not play with their team.

But in the environment of the Mexican team everyone throws their hats in and at the conference Javier Aguirre never clarified how Toluca asked for permission, who suggested it and above all, who authorized it, since there is no doubt that it shook the waters 35 days before the World Cup.
