Flores is happy that he will play for the Mexican national team

The Arsenal midfielder Marcelo Flores announced the most important decision of his life on Monday. The player rejected the Canadian and England national teams to play with the Mexican National Team. Through a statement on his social networks, the Arsenal youth player made clear his desire to represent the Mexican national team. “Today, I write with my heart and wish to communicate something that I have some time knowing internally and that I think it is important that you hear it from me directly: I will represent the Mexican National Team for the rest of my career as a professional,” Flores wrote. The fact of being called up by Gerardo Martino is latent, but he is clear that he must follow the process that every player goes through.

Marcelo have had the opportunity to represent several countries

“Continue training as I have always done. My career is just beginning, and I have a lot of work ahead of me. Do I want to go to the World Cup? Sure. What Mexican kid doesn’t dream of going to a World Cup? But I recognize that I am not the one who decides that,” Flores said. Flores has been to the country a few times, and those few occasions made him fall in love with the culture that he has far away because he lives in England. “My father has instilled in me this passion for his country from a very young age, and I was fortunate enough to visit Mexico every year during my childhood. Although I have had the opportunity to represent several countries, I have always chosen to return to the Mexican National Team camps. That is no coincidence,” Flores added.

“Mexico has allowed my sisters and me to feel at home even though our “home” is thousands of miles away,” she stated. The challenge was not easy. The Mexican youth gives to know everything he had to go through to reach this moment of decision. “This freedom to decide is something that not all soccer players have, and for that, I am grateful. To understand how I came to this decision, I must understand how fortunate I am to have such a close-knit family,” Flores said. “When you grow up in a multicultural environment, and you are blessed to identify with several countries, it is normal to question your identity and sometimes even doubt your own origin,” Flores concluded.
