Around of the Mexican team certain disagreements have been generated after Héctor Herrera questioned the fans. After beating Jamaica, Mexico must turn the page and focus all its forces to receive Costa Rica at the Azteca stadium. In this sense Jafet Soto, a former Tico player, began to heat up the duel for the Concacaf octagonal.
“The Mexican national team has long believed itself to be more than it is, I am not saying it, between the lines Héctor Herrera explains that, that when they come to play in Costa Rica the stadium is heavy, when they go to Honduras the stadium is heavy, then he recognizes that they themselves do not weigh in the Azteca Stadium, because the fans do not weigh“Soto sentenced in a statement to Marca Claro.
In this sense, the strategist and sports director of Herediano explained that soccer distances have been shortened in Concacaf. Soto used Mexico’s last game against Jamaica as an example. The former footballer considers that the Aztecs came very close to making a fool of themselves in Kingston.
“Simple qualifiers are in the past, the same players have eaten the story that walking they are going to win and That’s how we saw it in Jamaica, where Mexico was nothing to make a fool of himself. That gives you credibility and the conviction that you can get something out of Mexico,” he explained.
Costa Rica and a crucial match against Mexico
Jafet Soto began to analyze the next presentation of the Costa Rican team. The former soccer player considers that Costa Rica should score at the Azteca stadium to stay alive in the Concacaf Octagonal and fight for a place in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
“It’s another final for Costa Rica, I think it is decisive for us on Sunday to add to continue with that World Cup dream. Costa Rica is undergoing a generational change and obviously we are clear about what our illness is. Right now we are in a difficult situation, but football is so kind that we are still alive“, he concluded.
