More than 20 years have passed and the scar left by the 1994 United States World Cup in the history of the Mexican National Team still generates dissatisfaction among fans, since in that competition the Tricolor team was close to achieving the feat of the fifth game . Despite the fact that the Mexican team had a great squad, with strikers such as Luis García, Hugo Sánchez, Luis Roberto Alves Zague among other iconic soccer players of the 1990s, they failed to fulfill their World Cup dream and returned to the country. With broken illusions.

Miguel Mejía Barón was the technical director of the Aztec team and upon his return to the country he was criticized for the decisions he made in the game against Bulgaria, as that match marked the destiny of the national team. Jorge Campos' skills on goal were not enough to prevent Mexico from losing in the penalty shootout, despite the fact that during regular time and in the extras he performed strongly, in the end he yielded on penalties.

Recently, the Immortal returned to touch the subject and explained who could be the culprit that Mexico did not qualify for the next World Cup phase. In a video for Farsantes con gloria, Doctor García's YouTube program, Campos confessed who the real villain of the meeting was and defended the work of Mejía Barón.

In the company of Christian Martinoli, Zague, Doctor García and Carlos Luis Guerrero, known as Warrior, the former goalkeeper from Pumas reported that the problem was not the alignment with which the national team strategist played, but the actions carried out by García Postigo inside the court.

During the first half, Luis García had already been booked with the yellow card, so he had to take care of his plays so as not to commit an offense. Campos Navarrete had already noticed Luis' instability, so he told his team to get him off the field.

“If the Doctor had continued, we won the game earlier, we would not have reached penalties, one more man, we were giving them a dance. Besides, he allows himself to be expelled for nonsense, I said to Claudio (Suárez) and to the capi (Ignacio Ambriz): ‘Get the doctor out because they are going to expel him and bang! that they expel him '”, explained the native of Acapulco.
