As Mexico prepares to face Suriname in their second group stage match of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, head coach Javier Aguirre and defender Israel Reyes addressed the media to share their perspectives on the tournament's challenges and the honor of representing the national team.
During the press conference, one of the main talking points was the competitive landscape of the tournament. Aguirre stressed that no opponent should be underestimated, highlighting the increasing parity among national teams in the region.
There are no small teams in this tournament - Ive said it before, and I stand by it. In the Gold Cup, you can't underestimate anyone, Aguirre asserted. Yes, were one of the favorites, but so are a couple of other squads. The truth is, every match has been tough, and thats part of our growth. We must evolve on and off the pitch. The loss to Switzerland taught us valuable lessons. We're on the right path, and not just in results, but in our approach as well.
