In an interview published today, Jared Borgetti said that his only interest is to play football and score goals, as this is all he knows how to do.

There were very positive comments made by journalists and media outlets, following Borgetti's move to Bolton Wanderers last summer. However, he faces stiff competition from his Mexico team-mates for getting included in Mexico Coach Ricardo Lavolpe's World Cup Finals Squad.

Jared Borgetti became the first Mexican player to play in an English Premiership Club with his move to Reebok Stadium last summer. He was Mexico's top scorer during the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany Qualifiers, scoring 37 goals in 60 International Appearances with Mexico.

Even though the Mexican International Striker has scored goals in both the Carling Cup and the UEFA Cup, Borgetti is not making into Sam Allardyce's 11-player squad (you can read more about this story on our previous articles).

"I am worried because I haven't been given the chances I expected for playing in England," Jared Borgetti said.

"I have been predominantly sitting on the bench and playing only a few minutes in some games. I think that I have had some good performances because I have scored some goals, but I need to play more frequently because I want to be prepared for the World Cup."

Asked if he is interested to accept Chivas' offer, Jared Borgetti said "I don't care in which team I play for in Mexico, I can wear any shirt, it is all the same."

"All I want to do is to have the chance to play and keep scoring goals because that is all I know how to do."

Mexico's Argentinean coach Ricardo Lavolpe seems to be backing Borgetti for a possible move back into Mexico in January's transfer window.

"I am aware about Borgetti's situation in England and I must say that I am worried because he is one of the most important players of the Mexican national team," the Mexico coach said.

"He scored 14 goals for Mexico in the qualifiers and we need him to keep in that rhythm for the World Cup.

"If his English team is not going to use him they could give him a loan deal to any Mexican team who would welcome him with open arms."
