For the Spanish coach, soccer in Mexico has not stopped growing and this has created a great dynamic for this type of friendly matches. In an interview with TUDN, the current Manchester City coach indicated and emphasized the difficulty of facing the Mexican national team in World Cups.
On the other hand, Guardiola also had words for Club America. In a press conference prior to the friendly match held in the United States, the Spaniard pointed out that "Las Aguilas" are playing with pure Mexicans, referring to Fernando Ortiz's last lineup that had 10 Aztec players.
Does Guardiola see Mexico's chances in the World Cup?
Pep Guardiola is surprised that many teams use elements from the same country as America does. For the Manchester City coach, it is important that there is a defined style of play in the Mexican league, that the players know each other well and that there is a way of working that benefits the national team.
