Demonstrations over Blanco blanking
12/04/2006: There were demonstrations in Mexico City on Tuesday demanding striker Cuauhtemoc Blanco be added to Ricardo Lavolpe's World Cup squad.
More than 200 people marched through the city in protest at the Club America striker's exclusion from the latest roster.
Blanco played for Mexico in the last two World Cup finals and became famous for a trick he used in the 1998 event when he grasped the ball between his ankles and hopped past two defenders.
The former Valladolid ace has been critical of coach Lavolpe in recent months, at one stage baiting the Argentine to pick him. The coach believes Blanco does not fit into his system and that the player's presence is unsettling for the rest of the squad.
"Lavolpe can't tell me that I don't fit into his system if I have played under the command of umpteen coaches and have adapted to all of their systems," raged the player.
Mexico play their next warm-up game against Venezuela on May 5 with the final roster needing to be sent to FIFA by May 15.
