Despite the conservative-positive balance of the performance of the Mexico national team at the beginning of the Diego Cocca era on the coaching bench, the fans seem to dislike the drab style of play and level shown by the players in the matches against Suriname and Jamaica.

A controversial and harsh critic as he is Alvaro Morales neither was he in favor of the changes introduced by Diego Cocca in his debut as head of El Tri and through the social network Twitter, where more than 670,000 users follow him, he took the opportunity to attack the Argentine strategist and the performance of Mexico’s last match against Jamaica at the Azteca Stadium.

“Pure story and smoke the two matches of El Tri”, said the Mexican journalist -and showman-, famous for his career on ESPN; Álvarito added that in his opinion Diego Cocca will not be able to handle the pressure of his position.

In other messages, the communicator took the opportunity to criticize all those who support the football philosophy executed by Diego Cocca and other Argentine coaches in Mexican soccer: “Keep believing in the rhetoric of the beautiful.”

Boos against the Mexican players and the accusation of Chucky Lozano

Always demanding and also with fresh memories of the failure of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the Mexican fans present at the Azteca Stadium dismissed the players with boos after the bitter 2-2 draw against Jamaica at the close of the Concacaf Nations League window.

The ones who received the most whistles, and during the match shouted by the Aztec fans, were Guillermo Ochoa (captain) and Raúl Jiménez, both key pieces of former coach Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino. But the one who came out to complain about the loud disapproval of the fans was the figure of the National Team, Hirving ‘Chucky’ Lozano.

Blaming the Mexican sports press, precisely the one that includes characters like Álvaro Morales, Chucky Lozano assured that “the media affect the relationship” between the fans and the Mexican National Teamgiving as a result that after a tie an avalanche of criticism occurs as if the result represented a tie.

For now, the start of the Cocca cycle in El Tri was full of controversy and great disappointment, both for the new coaching staff and for the demanding fans of the team who demand a better football level.

The next challenge for the Mexican National Team will be on April 19 in a friendly against a very tough rival like the United States, considered this duel as a Concacaf classic.
