Ramón Morales, former member of the Mexican national team, assured that El Tri has what it takes to compete in the World Cup in Qatar 2022 and defeat the Argentine national team in the phase of groups.
Morales recounted in an interview with Marca Claro about the match that those led by Gerardo Martino will be against the albiceleste, and how the Mexicans can fight against the Scaloneta.
“Of course you can beat Argentina, in Argentina they know how difficult it has been, throughout history also, or at least for as long as I can remember and what Mexico has been for them, they also know. Now it is possible to manage that they are calm, that they have an easy group and it is cool that they think like that, but it is a question of theirs, Mexico can achieve a great soccer game, why not think in being superior in the 90 minutes and thinking about beating Argentina”, said Ramoncito.
Morales affirmed that perhaps, except for Qatar, all the seeded ones were difficult selections, but Mexico has to compete and with clear possibilities to advance.
“We were expecting a top seed, almost all of them are strong, we saw Qatar in the Gold Cup and it could be unknown, but the rest are top teams. It is Argentina’s turn, which is a strong team and it is true that many times it does not arrive with all the spotlight to be a candidate to win the World Cup, it is a team that is dangerous, of a high level and They have met Scaloni, but Mexico has competed with him and they know that Mexico always competes with them; it is a group where Mexico is going to compete and has the possibility of advancing”, he added.
Ramón Morales recalled a victory in which he was the protagonist against the Argentines in the Copa América in Peru in 2004. A great goal of his, from a set piece, surpassed to Roberto Abondanzieri. Pato could not get to the ball and the tricolor team won thanks to that goal.
“I hope that Mexico can compete and do well because Mexico has and can with what to beat Argentina. Mexico has the ability to beat Argentina, it is a World Cup and we have seen everything: it was expected that Mexico would not beat Germany. In the end, anything can happen”, he explained.
Morales explained that the end of the Qualifiers did not convince many fans with Martino’s style of play, but that the World Cup is starting from scratch and you have to prepare with a different mentality.
“If we base ourselves on the closing of the tie, maybe Mexico and their way of playing , did not please many people and in the end everyone knows that the qualifying rounds are things apart, they are circumstances, sometimes they are not what we would have liked. You have to think that you start from scratch and that both Martino and the rest of the teams are going to prepare, it’s a long road”, he concluded.
