He defeat of the Mexican National Team against the United States in the final of the Concacaf Nations League It is causing some things to be rethought in the surroundings of the Aztec team where many believe that there must begin to be some changes.
Although the presence of Jaime Lozano at the head of the Mexican team is not in discussion, as revealed by the current sports director of El Tri, Duilio Davino, upon his return to the Mexican capital after a new setback against the Stars and Stripes team There are those who consider that the change should be in other instances.
This is what Ricardo La Volpe, an Argentine coach who has extensive experience in Mexican soccer, both at the club level and with the national team, considers it, who in a recent interview with journalist Edgardo Alvear from La Opinión de Los Ángeles, spoke about how he should to be the sports director that the Mexican team needs.
“There has to be a sports director in the national team to see how the U-17 and U-18 team works and to ensure that it doesn’t happen again that you don’t go to the Olympic Games because the U-20 team lost. “He can’t lose, especially where we are.”commented the Argentine who recalled his experience when he was in charge of El Tri between 2002 and 2006.
“When I was in the national team, remember that I took the under-23 team with which we ended up winning the Pre-Olympic and went to the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. I took that team, I directed it, I called it and I worked. I took on those responsibilities.”continued the experienced coach who highlighted that in Mexico they must follow in the footsteps of the great teams.
“They would have to copy themselves from those who win many titles like Germany, Brazil, Argentina. “The sports director that you put in the national team, I think he has to be a coach.”emphasized Ricardo La Volpe who recalled that in Mexican soccer they already know well what that is throughout the extensive history of their clubs.
“In Pumas a certain Renato Cesarini started, then Jorge Marik came, that’s when Bora Milutinovic arrived… There was a profile and the same technicians from below were moving up. “That has to be in the selection.”assured the Argentine who directed Atlanta, Chivas de Guadalajara, Águilas del América, Toluca, Atlas, among others, in Mexico.
The Mexican National Team will have a couple of months to recover from the hard blow that this new defeat against the United States meant before beginning to prepare to compete in the Copa América 2024, its next great challenge this year. El Tri is part of group B of the tournament that will be played between June and July and in which they will face Ecuador, Venezuela and Jamaica in the first instance.
