The exclusive European manager, Arsene Wenger, who stated on the day of the World Cup draw that the Mexican national team could accomplish more than just winning the second game of a global competition, assured that the Mexican national team could be one of the pleasant surprises of the future 2026 World Cup.
The multi-prestigious strategist, who has won the UEFA Champions League, Premier League, European Cup Winners ' Cup, and Ligue 1, among other titles, made it clear that Mexico could be a key player in the upcoming World Cup.
Mexico "always qualifies. " Although they didn't do it the usual way this time, they have consistently qualified in recent years. They are present all the time. They could be a surprise if they make, or rather, make progress, he said.
The comments about Mexico were made during a briefing in the weeks leading up to the World Cup draw, where he emphasized the importance of Mexico's role in this competition, a team that has maintained its qualification and believes that it can surprise in 2026.
The European strategist emphasized during this event, which will bring together the most renowned players in international football and who have gathered at this grand event held in the capital of the United States, that" they have the talent to do it, they can certainly go beyond the fifth game. "
Additionally, Wegner noted that Mexico has always had the resources to excel, but that many of the obstacles to making a statement are mental:" Mexico has a football culture, footballing qualities, and perhaps it has been the mental aspect that has prevented them from at least reaching the Quarterfinals, but you know more about the subject because you live alongside them," said the Frenchman.
Finally, he made a point that Javier Aguirre has the qualifications to be chosen as a coach for the Ballond'Or. He came to the conclusion," Yes, of course he deserves it. "
