Rafa Márquez' tenure as head of the Mexican national team has gotten off to a challenging start, marking one of the worst beginnings in recent years. Carlos Hermosillo has come to the defense of Márquez' coaching project.
Carlos Hermosillo, a legendary figure in Mexican football, accumulated an impressive 100 caps with the national team, netting 34 goals in the process. His contributions to the Aztec squad are deeply ingrained in its history. Hermosillo has lent his voice to a plea for understanding, advocating for patience in the case of former teammate Rafa Márquez.
Mexican football expert Carlos Hermosillo emphasized the importance of respecting the process, noting that it does not occur overnight. He recalled that the initial expectations were not met when Javier Aguirre achieved his result.
Carlos Hermosillo discussed Rafa Marquez's initial performances with the national team, also acknowledging the contributions of coach Aguirre during the World Cup.
Former Mexican footballer Carlos Hermosillo observed that the national team's, also known as El Tri, transition with "Vasco" progressed at a slow pace before ultimately regaining momentum.
The team's unexpected success has instilled renewed faith in Mexican football, and its performance has been a positive outcome for the sport.
Javier Aguirre's tenure began more favorably than that of Rafa Márquez. The Vasco da Gama team, under Aguirre's leadership, experienced a four-match unbeaten streak before their first loss against Mexico's national team. In contrast, Aguirre's first seven games yielded only one defeat, with five of those encounters resulting in victories.
Rafael Márquez, known as "Káiser," has participated in four matches with Mexico's national team, El Tri, but has yet to secure his first victory. His current record with the team stands at two defeats and two draws.
