Edson Alvarez torn to shreds by Mexican media after what ‘abysmal’ West Ham United star did

Edson Alvarez has been picked out by Mexican media for a poor performance against Uruguay while on international duty from West Ham United on Thursday (6 June).

The Hammers midfielder featured for his nation in a friendly as Jaime Lozano’s side began preparations for the Copa America.

It is safe to say that things got off to the worst possible start as El Tri lost 4-0 against Marcelo Bielsa’s side with Alvarez making the headlines.

Given the nature of the result, the West Ham man was picked out by the media for all the wrong reasons.

ESPN Mexico suggested (6 June) that he constantly “lost balls in the belt of the field that Uruguay took advantage of.”

This led to ESPN Deportes journalist herlulez Gomez taking to X to say that the Mexico midfield trio, including Alvarez, was “abysmal”.

He added: “No bite. No athleticism. No heart tonight. Out of all the lines that was the most concerning.”
