00:00
The USA vs. Mexico, one of the biggest rivalries in soccer,
00:04
takes center stage as these two giants
00:07
of North American football square off in Guadalajara.
00:10
This, this is not a friendly.
00:13
This is a battle for pride, the momentum of two teams,
00:16
and for both of them, a key part of their preparation
00:19
for the road to the 2026 World Cup.
00:22
These two teams know each other very well, inside out,
00:25
and every match is a battle that neither wants to lose.
00:29
To break the Mexican team's preparations
00:31
and what is at stake for them,
00:33
we go with Francisco and the latest report.
00:36
Well, Marcelino, guys, yes, it will be a friendly match
00:39
for the Mexico national team,
00:41
but it's a high-stakes friendly match
00:43
for El Tri and for Javier Aguirre.
00:45
Let's just start by saying that Javier Aguirre
00:47
is doing something different,
00:48
something that Jaime Lozano did not do in his last days
00:52
as El Tri's coach, which is relying on well-known veterans.
00:56
And Javier Aguirre knows that he needs some of the guys
00:58
that Mexico has used in the past
01:00
to bring him to an elite level,
01:02
to take him back out of the funk.
01:04
And this time around,
01:06
how about 39-year-old goalie Guillermo Ochoa?
01:10
He signed on to be a goalie for ABS in Portugal.
01:14
At least he's getting some reps.
01:15
Yes, it's not the best team,
01:16
probably not the best league possible,
01:18
but he's getting some reps,
01:19
looking to be the only player in World Cup history
01:22
to appear in six different editions.
01:24
Now, the second one I'd like to point out is Raul Jimenez.
01:27
He's looking more like vintage Raul Jimenez.
01:29
He's looking good for Fulham.
01:30
How about what he did last weekend?
01:32
The taquito, that great assist that he had for Fulham,
01:35
then again, looking like vintage Raul Jimenez.
01:38
And another player I'd like to point out,
01:40
obviously, Andres Guardado.
01:41
Yes, obviously, he's a historic player for Mexico.
01:44
There'll be a tribute for Andres Guardado in Guadalajara,
01:47
but what he said recently,
01:49
I don't wanna be a distraction.
01:51
He's told the coach he's got his choice.
01:54
He doesn't wanna just take too much out of the game,
01:56
out of what Javier Aguirre has to do with his strategy,
01:59
what his tactics, but it's a fact.
02:02
Andres Guardado will play.
02:03
A tribute will be paid to the legend, to the veteran,
02:07
the former Valencia, the former Valladolid player,
02:09
now getting some reps for Leon, obviously,
02:11
playing at the competitive level,
02:13
but at the same time,
02:15
we don't know how fit will he be to play
02:18
a high-stakes friendly, then again,
02:20
a high-stakes friendly against the U.S. national team
02:23
led by Mauricio Pochettino.
02:24
So that's it for now.
02:26
That's my report for the Mexican national team.
02:28
Marcelino, back to you in the studio.
