Mexico is set to face Chile and Bolivia next month and Miguel Herrera has already picked six footballers who play abroad, including Erick Torres over Javier Hernandez. Is this the right call?

El Tri showed great improvement during Brazil 2014, compared to the qualification process. The 5-3-2 system provided them with a vertical threat and power through the flanks.

However, Herrera needs to start thinking of the 2018 World Cup.

In four years, Rafael Marquez will be 39 years old; Carlos Salcido will be 38 and Francisco Rodriguez, 36, but their experience may not be enough to make the team.

In Brazil 2014, Oribe Peralta scored once, against Cameroon, and Hernandez vs. Croatia. The other three Mexican goals came from Giovani dos Santos (attacking midfielder), Marquez (centre-back) and Andres Guardado's (left midfielder) boots.

It's very important that Herrera finds a consistent footballer for the attacking zone. He knows it; no wonder why in an interview with ESPN he urged Hernandez to leave Manchester United for a team where he gets playing time.

Since El Piojo can't sit and wait for this to happen, he has capped Torres, a 21-year-old striker who plays for Chivas USA on a loan from Guadalajara.

El Cubo scored 16 goals in 64 appearances with the Mexican club. However, in his last tournament in the Liga MX (2013 Clausura) he only played 121 minutes and didn't score, as per MedioTiempo.com (Spanish).



Once in the MLS, Torres began to work hard toward recovering his confidence and knack for goalscoring, which he did in style.

So far he has put the ball away 17 times, becoming the league's all-time leading Mexican scorer. He also was the third-best scorer of the 2014 season with 14 goals, just behind Bradley Wright Phillips (20) and Dom Dwyer ...
