“ I feel better, with much more experience, the first World Cup with 11 years just turned was a great responsibility, so I didn’t have that maturity to face it, I was very young, I was very young and now that is my expectation, to go enjoy it, because it is something that It happens every four years”, explained the Mexican in an interview for ESPN.
In that World Cup, led by Juan Carlos Osorio, the young Edson Álvarez played all four games . The “Machín” was one of those who suffered elimination in the round of 16 at the hands of Brazil. But four years later, the Aztec has a fundamental role in Gerardo Martino’s scheme and a lot of responsibility falls on him for the success of El Tri.
