This is an indication that the game of football is filled with surprises.
Speaking on Mexico’s performance, in the match, La Volpe praised Mexico for having the best players in the world and also being able to create good chances.
“Mexico has the players that the world is looking for. Tecatito Corona and Hirving Lozano are players that can create chances. If not [Gerardo] Martino has Uriel Antuna and Alexis Vegas as his replacement,” La Volpe remarked after Mexico vs Colombia.
“Martino has given Luis Chavez from Pachuca an opportunity with the national team and he is a great player. Andres Guadardo’s age doesn’t help him and Hector Hector Herrera made a bad decision going to the United States. Martino needs box-to-box midfield.
