Jaime Lozano, coach of the Mexican National Team, surprised with his lineup against Ghanasince Guillermo Ochoa and Raúl Jiménez appeared in it, two players with complicated current affairs at Salernitana and Fulham, respectively.
However, between the two of them, the one who has been highlighted the most is Jiménez, who has not scored in the Premier League since March 2022 and who has declined in terms of activity with the Cottagers, a situation diametrical to that of Santiago Gimenezwho was expected to be the starter.
The one from Feyenoord has accumulated 12 goals in the current Eredivisie season, but that was not enough for him to enter a starting 11 that may well be Jimmy’s best currently, so the strategist had to clarify what led him to make the decision to leave it on the bench.
“On what basis did I make my decision? Against the rival… he scored three goals in two games and it’s not because Santi didn’t score, it seems to me that both of them and now that Henry (Martín) joins in, it’s a nice competition.”
Celebrated keeping zero against Ghana
With respect to Mexico’s 2-0 victory against Ghanathe Tricolor strategist valued the order they had in the lower zone, since they had just received two goals against Australia and three against Uzbekistan.
“From what we were in September to what we were today, what stands out the most is keeping zero behind and also being clearer with the ball. Beyond the result, I liked the team.”
Lozano was able to work for the first time with Hirving Lozanoscorer of the first goal against the African team.
“He is someone who seems very committed, wants to help the National Team and wants to have a winning process. It seems to me that he is a great reference for the National Team.”
