Alexis Vega promises a great game and victory against the Czech Republic: 'It would be very important for the country'

Mexico's national soccer team is setting its sights on a third consecutive victory in the 2026 World Cup when they face the Czech Republic. Forward Alexis Vega stated the team's clear objective is to achieve this win, which would be significant for the country and the team.

“

Obviously it would be something very important for the country. For us as a national team. It's something that hasn't been achieved, we started with two victories and possibly tomorrow will be the third.

Vega highlighted the difference in pressure compared to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where Mexico faced elimination in the group stage. This time, with a spot in the knockout rounds already secured, the team feels more relaxed and focused on making history. He recalled the "over the ropes" situation in Qatar, where they needed a specific goal difference, a scenario they have avoided this year.

“

That's what we have in our heads. We want to be proactive and I think they are players we need to be careful with on set pieces. Functioning as we have done.

Despite two wins so far, the team has faced criticism and boos from some fans. Vega acknowledged this, suggesting it stems from the expectation that the team can perform even better. However, he stressed that the primary goal in a World Cup is to secure three points and continue advancing, even if the performance isn't always spectacular. The team's focus remains on winning and progressing in the tournament.

“

Very calm about the good pace we are maintaining. In Qatar we were on the ropes where we had to win by goal difference, we didn't achieve it. Now we have a little less pressure to be able to play more freely and we have in mind to make history.
