If there is a soccer player who knows the Mexican National Team well both on the pitch and on the bench and behind the microphones, it is Jorge Campos. The colorful exporter spoke again about El Tri’s failure in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Almada assured that he was ready to be DT of Mexico and turn it into a “powerful” selection

The Uruguayan strategist pointed out that he already has a work plan in mind for the 2026 World Cup process

In an interview for ESPN, Campos said Tuesday that it is impossible for Mexico to be world champion with “cronyism” in key positions and without a long-term project.

“Mexico is going to be world champion when we have a 20, 30-year project; but we never do long-term projects”

“We can’t have the fourth game tomorrow, it’s difficult. In Mexico you work for tomorrow, for tomorrow and you work with friends. They put the friend of the friend of the friend; that does not work and we have already noticed. We have been like this for 30 years since I can remember: the friend and the friend continues, ”she stressed.

For the former UNAM Pumas goalkeeper, it is incredible that the people who run Mexican soccer go unnoticed that history repeats itself cycle after World Cup cycle and they do nothing to turn it around and learn from what they have experienced.

“We have just experienced the worst failure in the history of Mexico, the worst we have experienced. It’s amazing that we still think the same. The last four recent years have been the worst for the Mexican National Team; It has been the biggest failure in various teams, especially the biggest and even so we did not open our eyes ”

He added that “we continue the same. Now a nice project is going to come for the next World Cup” and he added that there will be people who will want to hang their necks and say ‘it’s my project’ and if it succeeds they will want to be congratulated, when what matters now for ‘Brody’ is that the foundations are laid for long-term work that guarantees solid results that suggest that an important step is being taken.

They revealed the indiscipline that existed in the management of Gerardo Martino at the head of the Mexican National Team

“The Sacred Cows” of the Tricolor always did what they wanted during the last World Cup process

Aware of all the Tricolor World Cup processes, he mentioned that “we have been lucky because we have players who stand out there and qualify us with a last-minute goal” and without hesitation he points out that “the other time we qualified because the United States won. The United States qualified us.”

He adds that “we have not understood; we are still the same. We continue with 9, 8, 7 foreigners in Liga MX and it is a lot. Where are the U-20 and U-17 kids going to practice? but we want to say: ‘I was the man who made Mexico champion’. No, we must say: it is a process; worse in Mexico we think: in me, in me, in me and that my friend should go so that my friend can help me”.

Jürgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino refused to lead the National Team

The former director of national teams during the Russia 2018 World Cup process, Guillermo Cantú assured that the FMF sought out the Liverpool coach and former Paris Saint Germain

He agrees that the Mexican Soccer Federation make a council of people who know about soccer, who are capable, who give their opinion and intervene in some way, since “people who are there, who play, who gave everything for Mexico, we did it, we work it and we work outside or we are on television”.

He says that it is time to throw away what is useless and give Mexican soccer what it deserves to grow, such as returning to South American tournaments, such as the Copa Libertadores and Copa América, especially now that Mexico will not have a tie. “But many times they are more concerned about the technician, when they don’t let them continue the processes.”

Finally, he debunked the version that there are people in the federation who are making more money for the national team, since the national team automatically generates a lot of money in all aspects.

“The Mexican National Team is very attractive. Whoever they put, the selection generates money; the selection sells itself; But not everything is money.

“You have to think about prestige and sometimes you have to pay to play, no way; it is called ‘floor rights’; but the same ones continue, the same friends, the friends of friends, ”he pointed out.
