What was foretold turned out to be true, to the Mexican team They do not need a technician, but rather a specialist to help them overcome the bipolarity that continues to make them experience embarrassments like that of tonight against Honduras by falling 0-2 and compromising their qualification for the semifinals of the Nations League of CONCACAF.

The Hondurans added their ninth victory in the forty-fifth duel that they maintain in their history and where Mexico has 27 wins and nine draws, with which the Central Americans showed that not everything that glitters is gold in this type of matches.

Indeed, Mexico once again showed its negative sidethe one that prevents them from putting a winning mentality to work and causes them to make this type of nonsense like the one they showed at the Francisco Morazán stadium against one of the worst versions of the Honduras team that without much light was able to defeat them 0-2 .

The seriousness of the matter is that the defeat with two goals by Celtic Glasgow player from Scotland Luis Palma, It was not that Honduras defeated them, but that the players and coaching staff of Mexico did everything for this score to happen.

First, because when the Tricolor played best Javier Aguirre thought of removing Luis Montes and Julián Quiñones to send Luis Romo and Alexis Vega and with that the Mexican team became blurred and was prone to errors to open the way to victory for the Hondurans.

To make matters worse international defender César Montes made a mistake in a clearance in the 64th minute to open the way for Honduras to victory with a tremendous shot that Memo Ochoa could not control and on the counterattack Luis Palma beat the Mexican goal to make it 0-1.

ANDThat goal made everything change and put Mexico on the ropes in the last 26 minutes, showing its worst side, with fearful players, without a clue, uncoordinated and trying to win the war alone so that Honduras once again led by Luis Palma to make it 0-2 in the 83rd minute that ended by liquidate the aspirations of the Aztec team and put them against the wall in their aspirations to reach the semifinals of the Nations League.

The same old evils

Explain the reasons for the defeat It is simply an account of the same evils that have afflicted the team since the end of the World Cup in Russia and that since the process of Gerardo Martino, through Diego Cocca, Jaime Lozano and now Javier Aguirre, they have not found the solution to the evils. .

Simply put, Mexico shows very serious spikes in its mental capacity to provide its operation with sufficient resources to prevail over this class of rivals, longing for those times of the García Aspe, Luis Flores, Luis García, Jorge Campos, Claudio Suárez who were able to beat the best version of Honduras at home 1-4 in the 90s.

Now like 12 months ago, the catrachos returned to exhibit in Mexico in a very ugly way, by simply pushing the mark and taking advantage of the lack of definition of the team led by Javier Aguirre, who never knew when to move his people and when he wanted to solve the matter, in the end Mexico’s own ills led them to this nonsense that once again places the Tricolor on the table of criticism and insults for its poor football style.

In this way Mexico needs to win by three goals and not receive scores next Tuesday at the Nemesio Diez stadium in Toluca in the return duel where this shameful night can be recovered.
