Although I don’t want to see it as such, this Thursday’s game against the United States could be the most important for Diego Cocca as coach of the Mexican team. Questioned since his arrival and with versions that there are already those who are thinking of cutting off his process, the Argentine helmsman reiterates that he needs “time and work” to change the face of the Tricolor after what was experienced in Qatar 2022.
At the press conference this Wednesday in Las Vegas, where he will play the Concacaf Nations League Semifinals tomorrow, Cocca responded to Rubén Rodríguez what do you think is at stake in the clash against the Americans, who on paper start as favorites given their positive streak of results against El Tri and their great European legion.
“I know where I’m sitting, the chair I occupy. They are not criticizing me, they are criticizing the process, someone has to be blamed and in football it is the coach. I didn’t go to Qatar, I’m not to blame for that, but I understand people, what they say. If those who hired me trust me, that with time and work we can change this National Team, I hope that we can achieve it, I have to earn it with each game, in each game we put our prestige ahead “responded to FOX Sports.
“From that (if you feel that continuity is at stake) I think that Yes, there are more people who want me to go than to stay”added the national coach.

Diego Cocca knows his place! A very heavy chair, and he understands the fans ????

Alexis Vega and Sebastián Córdova are not ready
Two of the most talented players named to the Selection for the Nations League they can’t recover from different problems thinking about the game against the USA. According to Cocca, It seems complicated that Alexis Vega and Sebastián Córdova are ready for Thursdaybut he prefers to hold out until the last second because he fully trusts his abilities on the court, if they recover.
“Sebastián Córdova and Alexis Vega are very important. Alexis played in the World Cup and is unbalancing, Sebastián had a great Liguilla. They carry injuries, the Liguilla is very exhausting, but Due to the quality of players they are, we decided to take the risk of bringing themwe are treating them so that they arrive at the game, but the reality is that they are not yet for Thursday “exposed.
ABOUT THE TRI: Where to see the Mexico-USA of the Semifinals this Thursday
As far as tactical variants are concerned, the Argentine assures that see together to Henry Martin and Santiago Giménez is possiblebut only the work will allow it to become a viable alternative, without having to experiment in a duel as decisive as these Semifinals.
“Yes, sure that yes, with time and work with both there are possibilities. We are working on an idea that can change, different systems over time and with work we will be able to play with two strikers”he pointed.
