“We have the opportunity to make a great World Cup”: president of FMF

Yon de Luisa considered that Group C “is a difficult group, I think there is no easy group; facing Poland, facing Argentina are great challenges, and facing Saudi Arabia has its unknown degree, which also makes it a tough game.”

For his part, Gerardo Torrado, sports director of the FMF national teams, also commented on the three rivals that Mexico will have in the group stage.

“I like the group, I like being able to face Argentina, we have already met them in previous World Cups. It is true that we have not analyzed Arabia very much, we will analyze it in depth to understand its game and Poland, a European rival that has Robert Lewandowski”, Torrado pointed out.

Gerardo Torrado played with Mexico in the World Cups Korea-Japan 2002, Germany 2006 and South Africa 2010; in these last two tournaments he suffered elimination against Argentina in the round of 16.

Argentine Gerardo el ‘Tata’ Martino, technical director of the Mexican National Team, did not travel to Qatar to witness the draw, because on Thursday he underwent eye surgery in Mexico City after presenting retinal detachment problems .
