The 27-year-old striker has not been considered by the coaches of Mexico and Peru, despite his good recent performances
With triplet in front FC Juárez, the forward of Puebla Santiago Ormeño, with Mexican-Peruvian nationality, was placed again account to the discussion about wearing a national t-shirt, due to the fact that it has not been considered by the selector Gerardo Martino to represent the Tri nor by the technician of the combined incaico, Ricardo Gareca.
Santiago Ormeño has four goals after six games and ranks second on the scoreboard, just gold below Toluca’s Argentine striker Alexis Cano, who has five goals.
The striker of the ‘Strip’ did not score from Day 1 against Chivas, However, he collaborated greatly in the 4-0 final, which in fact meant the second victory in the tournament for his cause.
Santiago Ormeño reached the fame after being representing Puebla in the Tria MX and has fulfilled other functions in the present scheme of Nicholas Lacarmón, who has asked to him greater sacrifice, to become assistant.
In Peru they have a follow-up on the 27-year-old striker, who is living his first year as a footballer on the top circuit of Mexican football, As people close to the coach of Peru, Ricardo Gareca, convinced Ormeño to obtain the nationality of that South American country, because his grandfather, Walter Ormeño, is a native of these latitudes.
With two passports, the footballer told ESPN a few months ago that his decision will be in favor of the first representative to say so.
“They’re my two countries (Mexico and Peru) and I think maybe no one is calling me, but I’m going with the first one to call me and have an interest in me,” the center-forward said.
Notwithstanding the above, sources close to the Mexican National Team, assured ESPN Digital that the ‘camotero’ striker is not in the orbit of the ‘Tata’ Gerardo Martino.
Although Santiago Ormeño continues to play his part in Mexican football, as in the previous tournament he scored seven goals between league and Liguilla and in the current Guard1anes 2021 has scored four, the coach who has him in mind is Ricardo Gareca , who has not ruled out that Ormeño could reach the Peruvian National Team in the future.
For its part, the coaching staff of the Mexican National Team does not have it in mind, because it is not the type of gunner that fills the eye of Gerardo Martino, who already has very defined his strikers, who go from Raúl Jiménez, to ‘Chucky’ Lozano, ‘Tecatito’ Corona and José Juan Macías himself, to name the most important.
