The Monterrey coach acknowledged that the league’s infrastructure has grown enormously after 20 years of going abroad
Javier Aguirre, coach from Monterrey, loved the BBVA competition MX for 20 years while directing in Europe, Asia and Africa, during which time believes that Mexican football has evolved significantly and is now among the top ten in the world, thanks to the youth and women’s tournaments, as well as the infrastructure of the Aztec football teams, which are increasingly at the level of that in Europe.
“In 2001 it was my last game here in Mexico, that final that we exactly lost to Santos, and in these twenty years in the competition there has been an evolution. The U-20, U-17 tournament, women’s participation, women’s football, has brought Liga MX a lot of growth. It’s very difficult for a First Division team not to have the facilities like in Europe ”.
“I had the chance to take my wife to the stadium, they gave us a tour, it’s a first-class venue like in Germany, Italy, Spain, England, El Barrial’s facilities are of the highest level,” said Aguirre .
Monterrey is the only team that has not scored a goal in the Guard1anes Clausura 2021 so farHowever, aside from the work done on the field, where he prefers to defend with the ball and away from his goal, the ‘Vasco’ stressed that he showed his team the importance of goal difference, just as the semester sent them before . to playoffs, where they lost Puebla
“This Monterrey side, which scored 29 points last year, was in fifth place and had to play against number 12 for the goal average because it had as many points as fourth place. This made me think because of that big detail we weren’t fourth and we weren’t going straight to the next round without counting with 12 and it was for goals, it wasn’t for wins so from there I showed them them, I put the cold numbers on and then the team started raising awareness and then fieldwork, ”he concluded.
