Almost a week away to debut in the Copa América 2024, The director of the Mexican national teams Duilio Davino once again reaffirmed that the support for Jaime Lozano is total and tried to clarify a joke by the Mexican Soccer Commissioner Juan Carlos “La Bomba” Rodríguez in the sense that Jaime Lozano would not be very firm in his position, especially at a time when everyone expects the Tricolor to successfully compete in the continental tournament.

“Well yes, let’s see, those of us who are involved in this are used to it, but, well, yes, sometimes it gets tiring, No? But it is what it is, just like this question you are asking me. We already said it and we repeated it many times: Let’s go with Jaime,” said the Mexican leader.

“We have always received support and we are going with Jaime. Bringing top players does not guarantee results. I am excited, we have quality” 🔥🇲🇽⚽

Davino explained that they are focused and united around a successful participation in the next Copa América 2024, “It is a fairly even group. Who is the favorite? We have to show it on the field, but let’s see, I am very excited because we have quality, We have been working together for a long time, we are going to see a fairly clear idea of ​​the game, and without a doubt, it is going to be a great tournament, we are all very clear about that because we are going to compete and in a very good way.”

Not even with the figures there is a guarantee of success

On the other hand, Davino highlighted that in the face of criticism for not having called up experienced players like Guillermo Ochoa, Raúl Jiménez and Henry Martín, there is no guarantee of success, not even with their presence in the competition.

“Bringing more senior players does not guarantee that you can have better results. “We have made progress in recent weeks to see a team with projection to the World Cup,” he said.

At another point he highlighted that the objectives remain unchanged: “The objectives do not change, what does change is the leading role that others will have to increase Jaime’s list, We know that those who do not come now will be able to be there, they are important hierarchy players. I even like what Chucky says that he wanted to come, that’s how we love everyone, but Jaime decided this time to see other things.

The leader explained that instead of generating uncertainty, the defeats against Uruguay and Brazil have gained experience by highlighting that: “We are very excited. We believe we are going to have a great Cup (America). Many times in the National Team you do not have the work time that is required, now we have it, now with the official final list. I think the preparation games were very useful for Jaime and everyone to see the players and things that these top teams give you. “Sometimes you learn from defeat.”

Millions of Mexicans 🇲🇽 from all corners of the World 🌎 present and ready for this Copa América. 🏆
