Mexican soccer is one of the highest level in all of Concacaf. Liga MX clubs generally dominate continental tournaments, but this does not mean that they are at the level of other regions. Miguel Layun proposed some changes that would benefit Mexican soccer.

Now in his role as a manager with Kings Leagues America, Miguel Layun has a different vision for soccer. The former Mexican defender was asked what changes would promote the growth of Mexican soccer. Layún wants more exports.

"I would look for an incentive because otherwise, it's clear to me that there's no way to break or eradicate this, which would threaten the internal market bubble we have. One of the biggest problems why Mexico doesn't export players to Europe is directly related to the values ????of domestic soccer," he told Faitelson Sin Censura.

In this sense, Miguel Layún believes that selling players abroad would increase the universe of eligible players for the Mexican national team. The players who are part of El Tri's squads would have a greater level of international experience. Layún believes that a financial incentive, promoted by the league, would facilitate the sale of Mexican players.

“I don't know if there's a cap, I'm talking on the air, maybe something that rewards the team that manages to export players, find a way for the league itself to have financing, to put it silly, that the league would pay 20% of what the player was sold as an extra incentive, you don't depend on what they pay you but rather you have an extra bonus, something that encourages this to happen,” he added.

Obstacles to promotion

Another recurring criticism in Mexican football is the lack of promotion and relegation. This format encourages complacency among clubs that routinely finish at the bottom of the standings. Similarly, teams in the Expansion League lack a sporting incentive to motivate them to improve their roster.

Miguel Layun believes that the obstacles posed by Mexican soccer leaders can be easily overcome so that Liga de Expansion MX clubs have the possibility of fighting for a spot in Liga MX.

“I would bring it back, in a different format, I would replicate what they do in Europe and the rest of the world, no age limit, no salary cap, it’s just a second division team. Complying with certain legal statutes that allow you to know who the owners are, I am surprised that they put clauses for a stadium for 20,000 people, when in Europe you have a Feirense that is for 7,000. Why is it possible in Europe and not here, what changes? What does it matter to have a stadium full of 7,000 or an empty one of 20,000,” he concluded.
