The former coach of the Mexico national team, Javier Aguirre on the threshold of the Copa del Rey dispute vs. Athletic Club ruled out the possibility of assuming the position at the head of the Mexican representative for the third time in his career as technical director and in that sense requested support for the process from his colleague Jaime Lozano, with whom he once again placed himself at his service for any type of advice.
In an interview conducted by TV Azteca, Javier Aguirre He literally said about the possibility of directing the Mexican team again, as he did in the 2002 World Cups in Korea and Japan, as well as in 2010 in South Africa.
“I think the ideal one at this moment is Jimmy Lozano,” he said.
No, at this moment, but in four or five years will they offer it to you again?
If I said yes at this moment it could be misinterpreted. At this moment I am committed to the Mexican team, to supporting Jimmy, to advising him whenever he wants, I have done it two or three times and I am happy with it. I think he is a man with desire, young, with good group management, with a good personality. In form and substance I think it is going well, we are going to wait for the Copa América, but I think that in everything, the process is going within the normal course.
The so-called “Vasco” Aguirre also referred to the constant victories that the United States team has had about Mexico, pointing out that: “It doesn’t seem striking to me, because, on the other hand, with the Americans, you see them country against country, it is absolutely logical that they beat us in everything or almost everything and in that sense I believe that the United States “United it had taken them a while to play soccer and since we were born we go out to the streets to play soccer, we put the rocks and we play coladeras.”
Javier Aguirre on this topic added that: “but in the United States it is not. But today, with so many facilities, with everything so globalized, it seems very easy to send 40 guys to Europe, because for them it is easy, because they have no anger, on the other hand, in Mexico you ask the teams to send to Europe to his three best prospects. They’re going to say, don’t wait, I need them. If you take away from América, Cruz Azul or Tigres their three best prospects almost for free to lend them to Braga or another team, they will send you flying.”
“Vasco” Aguirre also added that: “Let’s see what happens for the 2030 World Cup.”, you would have 13 or 15 players with a process of almost six years in Europe, which is not the same as in Mexico, from food, climate, demands. One would like them to say bring Mexicans instead of Brazilians, Argentines, etc.”
The former coach of the Mexico national team also referred to the possibility of assuming the role of leader, like a sports director, assuming if the option fits his personal character: “I think I have experience for that, I think I have training, I am a university student, what I don’t know is that I have character, I don’t know if I have a left hand, patience, I am too stubborn sometimes and that is difficult, because I am politically incorrect. Maybe he has the profile, but I don’t know in what position and with whom he should take advantage.”
“I was angry and it is understandable, “I have given press conferences with the Mexican team almost 50 times and that day I did not feel comfortable, but of course everyone continues to refer to that,” he said.
Finally, “Vasco” Aguirre assured that his retirement as technical director is close: “Maybe two more years, but everything depends on Silvia (wife), anything can happen to retire and decide where to continue, right now I can tell you that here in Mallorca, but it already happened that I returned to Mexico, but the only thing that is certain is that I “There is little time left.”
