🎙️ हम किसी भी प्रतिद्वंद्वी का सामना कर सकते हैं: एगुइरे की प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस का सबसे अच्छा

The Mexican National Team faces its second Group A match at the 2026 World Cup. After beating South Africa 2-0 in its opener, El Tri will take on South Korea this Thursday, June 18, at Guadalajara Stadium. Despite the excitement of the home fans, head coach Javier Aguirre urged caution.

“Vasco’s” message and analysis of the opponent

At the pre-match press conference, the Mexican manager stressed the importance of keeping both feet on the ground.

“I can’t control the players’ emotions or dreams. Being at home, we feel we can take on any opponent, but then we have to prove it on the field. In World Cups, nothing is written,” Aguirre warned, also highlighting the parity shown in this 48-team tournament.

The coach pointed out that South Korea, coming off a 2-1 comeback win over the Czech Republic, is an extremely direct team. The coaching staff focused its work on countering the fast attacking transitions led by Heung-min Son and Kang-in Lee’s dangerous runs into central areas.

Attacking options and a defensive absence

Regarding the debate up front, the manager said he was satisfied with his options, praising the qualities of Santiago Giménez, Raúl Jiménez, Guillermo Martínez, and Armando González.

On the other hand, Mexico will suffer the significant absence of center-back and captain César Montes due to his sending-off in the opening match, a setback Aguirre believes he can solve without disrupting the team’s tactical shape.
