Javier Aguirre, the coach of the Mexican national team, considered that the main strengths of his team lie in collective spirit and humility, rather than relying on individual talents or the advantage of playing at home and among their fans.
This comes before facing England in the Round of 16 of the World Cup, tomorrow, Monday, at the Azteca Stadium in the Mexican capital.
Aguirre said in statements reported by the D Sports network: "We chose players who belong to Mexico, and do not put their individual talent first, but rather use it to serve the team. They are players who have set aside their arrogance and embraced humility."
Regarding how to stop the English striker Harry Kane, he said: "Harry Kane is a global figure, and the goals he scored with Tottenham, Bayern Munich, and the England national team confirm that he is a high-caliber player."
He added: "We will try to make Harry Kane uncomfortable on the field, and when he drops back to receive the ball, there will always be someone watching him so he cannot create play."
Aguirre also praised the veteran striker Raul Jimenez, confirming that he "helps the team like any other player and does not act like a star."
