Cesar Montes highlights the collective because in Mexico there is no “Messi”
The Mexican national team is marching perfectly in the 2025 Gold Cup. Cesar Montes highlighted the teamwork in the absence of a hero like Messi
The Mexican national team has not had a very convincing performance in the 2025 Gold Cup, but it has been correct enough to advance to the next round. Cesar Montes believes that beyond individual talent, El Tri's strength lies in teamwork.
Every club and national team in the world dreams of having a player like Lionel Messi on their roster. Cesar Montes acknowledged that the Mexican national team lacks an individual with that kind of talent, which is why El Tri works together.
The group is one of our strengths. We all know we don't have a Messi-type player on the national team, but the team always comes together, said the Mexican defender.
In the first match against the Dominican Republic, the goalscorers were Edson Alvarez, Raul Jimenez, and Cesar Montes. In the last match against Suriname, the Cachorro scored a brace that gave the Mexican team all three points. The spotlight is shared by Javier Aguirre's El Tri.
“(Javier Aguirre) has let us know that he has our trust and we have his trust. I think we are making a good family for everyone and always carrying the same style of play he has. We are on the right track,” added the Lokomotiv Moscow defender in the Russian Premier League.
Mexico with a perfect run
With one matchday left, the Mexican national team has already secured its place in the next round of the 2025 Gold Cup. After their 3-2 win against the Dominican Republic and 2-0 against Suriname, the Mexican team leads Group A with 6 points and a +3 goal difference. Costa Rica has the same number of points, but one goal down.
Tri's next match will be against Costa Rica. This is a match for group leadership. Miguel Herrera and Javier Aguirre will have a Mexican duel at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, this Sunday, June 22.
