The day has come to start the new process in Mexico’s Minor Teams with Gerardo Espinoza on the bench. And it is that El Tri debuts this Wednesday at the 2023 Central American and Caribbean Games against the Dominican Republic.
The competition that San Salvador hosts this year will mark the opportunity for Mexico to recover the gold medal that it has not won since 2014, in one more edition of the JCC.
Sharing a group with the Dominican Republic and the local, El Salvador, the Aztec team will seek to have a good first phase, in order to enter the final round and get closer to the medals.
The Aztec debut will be at 8:00 p.m., at the Las Delicias Stadium, in Santa Tecla, and after this first game, El Tri will play again until Sunday, July 2, when they face off against El Salvador, at the same headquarters.
Espinoza had a tour this summer with the Tri Sub-23 team in Europe, where they drew with Spain (1-1) and lost with France (1-0), although they were key duels to prepare for the competition for the Central American Games.
El Loco, took the reins of the U-23 team of Mexico, after his great performance on the benches of the Expansion League, and achieved his second title in the category by doing so with Tapatío, a Chivas affiliate.
For this reason, Espinoza called several players from Tapatío, a total of four, plus Zahid Muñoz, considered to be from the Chivas First Team; the last one was Gael García Bernal, who took the place of the injured, Eduardo Águila.
With 22 soccer players playing in the country, plus Jordan Carrillo, from Sporting de Gijón, the Tri Sub-23 team is going for the gold medal that they have not achieved since the JCC of Veracruz in 2014, because in Barranquilla 2018 things did not work out, they were last group and did not fight; the winner was Colombia.
However, Mexico is going for its seventh gold medal in the JCC in men’s soccer, and also, in its 18 participations, it has six silver and one bronze, which makes it the country with the most medals in this sport and branch.
