El Tri celebrated their last draw against the United States at the Azteca Stadium. Although scratching an equality would have been a bad result in other circumstances, at present
it was a point applauded by Gerardo Martino’s coaching staff
. The Mexican team did not lose, but it did not win either and the USMNT increasingly disrespects the label of “Giant of Concacaf” that Mexico maintained
along its history. Given this scenario, the journalist Miguel Ángel Arizpe questioned the certain conformism that exists in relation to the results of El Tri.

The #USMNT is undefeated since 2019. He has taken the measure of the Tri.

“Many will say ‘Very good game’, and yes, how game was not bad; Others will say ‘The United States hasn’t won us ‘, and also. But no, that is a lot of conformism and mediocrity”, sentenced Miguel Ángel Arizpe in his column for the Mediotiempo portal.
Despite not having lost, the journalist points out from a more negative perspective what the last draw of the Mexican team at the Azteca Stadium. This duel certified the disrespect of the United States towards a Mexican team that
can no longer make a true fort of its stadium.
“ For the fourth consecutive game I did not you can beat the gringos and for the third game in a row you don’t score any goals.
Not even in the Azteca do you beat him and that is very critical (…) It is to question Gerardo Martino”, sentenced.
What would happen if this happens to “El Tata” with Argentina?
Arizpe made a comparison of the Concacaf Clásico with the South American Clásico between Argentina and Brazil. The journalist considers that if Gerardo Martino were in this same situation, but in command of the albiceleste, the board of directors of the South American team would have already sent him to the street.
“Yes that (four games without win), it would have been directing Argentina vs. Brazil, would no longer be in office, man. But we are Mexico and here he is the king ”, he concluded.
