Using both Marquez & Torrado as defensive midfielders is unnecessary. Mexico should just place Juarez there, he's efficient and strong enough to play as the sole defensive midfielder and it opens up spots elsewhere. Juarez' position in this formation allows Mexico to use a very promising attack. Vela will develop, our attacking players will gain experience and hopefully become a force to reckon with.

How about the younger dos Santos? His exclusion from the World Cup squad had caused some waves, I remember.

Giovanni dos Santos looks like a winger to me, I am not sure he would cut it as a trequartista.
