Coach Javier Aguirre stated that the Mexican national team will need an almost perfect performance to overcome England in the 2026 World Cup round of 16.
Javier Aguirre analyzed the match against England scheduled for Sunday, July 5, at Estadio Azteca. The Mexican coach highlighted that the opponent has one of the best leagues in the world and possesses tactical variants beyond its traditional physical strength.
Aguirre noted that the outcome will depend on his team's performance and not on external factors such as Mexico City's altitude. “It is 11 against 11,” he said during the pre-match conference.
The coach detailed the plan to neutralize Harry Kane through collective effort and praised the physical and mental condition of the Mexican squad. He also confirmed that Roberto Alvarado is available.
