Jeremy Márquez, from the shadows to the Mexican National Team

Jeremy Márquez has gone from being forgotten in previous processes to becoming a key piece of Atlas, to the point of capturing the attention of the Mexican National Team. At 24 years old, the midfielder from Guadalajara has shown that talent and perseverance can bear fruit, consolidating himself as the most valuable player of the red and black team today .

Since Gonzalo Pineda's arrival to the Zorros' bench, Márquez has become a fixture in the coach's scheme. In the current Clausura 2025, he has been a starter in six of the nine games played, maintaining a constant performance that has put him in the sights of other clubs .

His performance has not gone unnoticed by the Mexican National Team. Javier "Vasco" Aguirre called him up for the friendly matches that the Tricolor held in South America against Internacional de Porto Alegre and River Plate. Plate . Although his participation was limited, he had minutes in both matches, which reflects the confidence that the coaching staff has placed in him.

Now, Marquez has been included in the preliminary list of 60 players that Mexico registered with Concacaf for the Nations League , in which it will face Canada in March. His presence on this list reinforces the idea that his talent continues to be closely watched.

Jeremy Márquez's rise contrasts with Diego Cocca's time as Atlas' coach, when despite winning the championship twice, no red-and-black player was called up to the Tricolor. Today, with Pineda in charge and Aguirre closely following the Liga MX players, the red-and-black midfielder has the opportunity to establish himself in national football and even make the jump abroad in the near future .

But Jeremy Marquez is not the only young Mexican at Atlas who is standing out. José Rivaldo Lozano has caught the attention of Aguirre and his coaching staff , to the point that they also included him on the list of 60 players for this spring in Los Angeles.

Both Rivaldo and Jeremy have the difficult task of continuing the good pace at Atlas , despite the team's current deplorable moment. While the red-and-black team is stumbling around, fighting to avoid paying fines, these players have their sights set on wearing the green jersey, taking into account all the activity that will take place this year and next, with the Nations League, Gold Cup and the 2026 World Cup.
