“What I have experienced is that at that time we were in third place on the continent and I think all the teams in South America, Panama, the United States, They’ve all grown up and I think we haven’t. After we ran out of participation in Conmebol, we are stagnant”, confessed Guardado.
Guardado also believed that in Mexico the custom of exalting foreigners over Mexicans should be eradicated, because he considers that they give more value to those who are outside.
“There are a lot of malinchismo in Mexico and I’m not saying that with me, but I do feel that they give me more value abroad than in Mexico. For example, Alejandro (Irarragorri) comes out to say that I am not in the plans and then the sports director of Betis comes out and says that we are delighted with Andrés and we want him to retire here and he is still retired because he contributes a lot to the team. The heart takes you, but in the end you have to be where you feel valued”.
😮 The foreigner values the Mexican talent!
🇲🇽Although @AGuardado18 has not been affected by malinchismo, he considers that it is an evil that must be rooted out.

“I am preparing to be coach and I have discussed it with Rafa if one goes there it is very difficult for them to open the door here, I want to start my DT career here, ”concluded the Mexican.
