Mexico managed to brilliantly turn around the quarter-final tie of League of Nations in the view of Honduras and enter the Final Four of Concacaf. After losing 2-0 in the first leg, the Mexican team achieved a resounding 4-0 in the second leg.
At the press conference after the crash, Javier Aguirre He gave one of his usual interesting speeches talking about what happened on the first leg and the subsequent correction on the return leg. The coach stated that “ my job is not to shut up, I didn’t come here to be liked. I don’t think about things I can’t control. I understand criticism, I receive it and I process it. It doesn’t influence me. I am not forced by the weight above.”
He also said about the changes in the lineup that “we as coaches try to improve things inside. Sometimes they work out and sometimes they don’t. If you’re looking for someone to blame, it’s me. I said there were certain mistakes , they’re coach mistakes for doing it. You’ve got to assume it’s going to help. You’ve got to take responsibility and that’s on me.”
Finally, he pointed out that “panic is not the word I would use to describe my players for what they did in the first leg. I didn’t see any panic, they lacked taking risks, they lacked personality and character. They are two different teams, one has to do something, but with the 2-0 score we used offensive people, with the ball midfielders.
