Antonio Mohamed warns the Mexican team
The Argentine strategist considers that Mexico's performance in the World Cup is historic. Mohamed warns that trust could take its toll
Antonio Mohamed is a great personality of Mexican soccer. The Argentine strategist is linked to Liga MX and is passionate about El Tri's development in the World Cup. The “Turk” wants Mexico to eliminate England, but warns Javier Aguirre against excessive triumphalism.
The Toluca Red Devils strategist described Mexico's performance as “historic.” Mohamed has very high expectations for this team, but advised approaching the next match against England with caution. Overconfidence could work against them against a world champion team.
"The thing about Mexico is historic, a team without goals against, with a fever with the World Cup in the country that cannot be believed. What worries me for the next game is that now the Mexicans do want the team and everyone says they are going to win: when that happens with the Mexican it causes pressure for the team and a relaxation at some point," Mohamed said in his column with Olé.
Antonio Mohamed believes that the key is to approach the game with the same respect as they had against Ecuador. Javier Aguirre and his team did not trust themselves against an Ecuadorian team that was looking for great things in the World Cup. Mexico played the most correct game so far in the World Cup.
“On the other hand, against Ecuador they were half a point away and they played the great game of the entire Aguirre era and of a long time in a World Cup, Mexico did not look as good or as strong as it did the other day against Ecuador,” he explained.
Despite his warnings and suggestions, Antonio Mohamed hopes that El Tri can dominate England in this round. The “Turk” hopes that the Aztec team can reach the semifinals. There the Argentine strategist's heart would be divided.
"Hopefully they can eliminate England in the same place where Diego scored his goals. Let's hope for a semi-final against Argentina," he concluded.
