There are only a couple of days left for El Tri to debut in the World Cup in Qatar 2022. The goal of reaching the quarterfinals continues to be the most desired, but before must overcome group C that Mexico shares with the teams of Poland, Saudi Arabia and Argentina . Efraín Juarez, former soccer player for El Tri, analyzed the rivals of the Aztec team.
“
Poland is a very European team in the physical sense. Everything revolves around its main star, which is Lewandowski (…) Saudi Arabia is a team that has grown a lot , as has the football in all that part of the world, and obviously against Argentina is a beautiful opportunity to compete. We have not I had the best experiences against them,” Juárez explained in a statement compiled by Mediotiempo.
Lionel Messi is not the same
Despite the fact that “La Flea” continues to be one of the great stars of the World Cup in Qatar 5248, Efraín Juárez stressed that the Argentine is not the same as the one who played for FC Barcelona and dominated world football a few years ago . Supported by a Messi with a low level, Efraín Juárez believes that El Tri can develop a great game.
“Argentina today has important players, obviously they have to Messi who comes of age (35) . He is no longer the Messi of ago 10 years, the physical issue has cost him a lot at Paris Saint Germain. We can compete and let’s compete We must not forget that Mexico is doing very well in the Group Phase of the World Cup ”, he declared.
Finally, Efraín Juárez demonstrated his knowledge as technical assistant at Standard de Liège and advised that Mexico should not focus all its forces on arresting Robert Lewandowski in the opening game. The Mexican considers that the game depends on what can be done in the middle of the field.
“The subject is not Lewandowski because he lives on crosses, on passes to the area, he is not a guy who takes nine players. He is a fixed 9 from the area, who plays well outside the area, but we know that his strength is in the area, but beyond worrying about him is to cut the circuits, so that balls do not reach Lewandowski; there you have to do a job tactically, where passes do not arrive ”, he explained.
