Play a World Cup It is a privilege that very few professional footballers can boast. Carlos Rodríguez already knows what it is like to be in a World Cup after his participation in Qatar 2022. But after having tasted glory, Charly wants to go for more and aims for the 2026 World Cup.
Carlos Rodríguez had very few minutes in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. That World Cup meant a resounding failure for El Tri for being eliminated in the group stage. Charly only played 32 minutes, but wants to repeat his participation in 2026.
“Yes obviously (I see myself in the 2026 World Cup), it is a dream of all footballers, to be able to be in a World Cupbeing in that starting 11, in your country, in your stadium, with your people, is a dream and such a great hope that it seems like there is still a long way to go, but time goes very quickly and you have to be every day with the hope that each match with your club is going to help you be there,” said the Mexican in an interview with Halftime.
In this sense, Carlos Rodríguez receives with great enthusiasm Jaime Lozano’s calls to be part of the Mexico team. The Cruz Azul midfielder has worn the colors of El Tri up to 49 times.
“With joy to be able to be on that list, to have the possibility of appearing in a new call. You always want to be in the national team. I have had to not be there, but one tries to continue growing and improving to be able to earn a place,” he added.
2026 World Cup in sight
The Mexican team will be home in several games of the 2026 World Cup. This is an additive for the Aztec team that has the illusion of having a historical participation. Carlos Rodríguez already knows what it is like to attend a World Cup, now he will go for more minutes on the field.
“When you experience the biggest tournament with national teams you realize many things and the illusion of wanting to be there grows because there is nothing missing for the next World Cup. There is hunger and desire to increase the level and be in every game with the team and help it grow,” he explained.
Charly Rodríguez is one of the stellar pieces of Cruz Azul. La Maquina is at the top of Aztec football and Carlos has contributed his quality on the field. The Aztec has played all 11 games of the Clausura 2024 tournament and He has contributed a goal and an assist for the Cement cause.
