Should be the Maza Rodriguez at the screening?

If a player who generates mixed feelings when it comes to lawn with the national coat is Francisco Javier Rodriguez. The lanky defender is a player who has a not-know-what ends not convince anyone. The Mace appeared in Chivas, where he excelled as a defensive stalwart and potent, although it is also associated as a slow player and a little clumsy. Ricardo Lavolpe called him back to the 2006 World Cup, where he had a few minutes, and that performance was enough to project in 2008 from PSV Eindhoven soccer holandes, sharing clothes with Carlos Salcido.

On arrival in Holland, Maza had to endure many minutes on the bench (and as many in the gallery), while his countryman Salcido was undisputed holder. Now things have changed. Under the tutelage of Fred Rutten, Rodriguez has become a regular in the eleven, even playing several games as a starter, while the presence of increasingly dwindling Salcido. With the low level of Rafael Marquez, the little game that gets Ricardo Osorio Stuttgart, unstable when Jonny Magallón Aarón Galindo and Chivas, and low confidence in Javier Aguirre's young Hector Moreno, could be the mace of a hole for the call?

There is no denying that the level of Rodriguez's game has improved considerably. It's a solid defense, excellent air, with good coverage, and has offset its lack of speed with a good placement. Its strength makes it ideal for football in the leg that gets hard, and gradually becomes fixed in the box Eindhoven. On paper has merit, but weighs in Mexico the memory of a footballer trunk, heavy , confused. In my opinion, deserves Maza an opportunity to show it can be an important piece in the Mexican (or at least a nice change). Just what I saw in the PSV - Ajax, braking and Luis Suarez Dario Cvitanich, and will not be easy! Should be to test with the green. What do you think?
