Mexico's Aguirre: Team has matured, leading to World Cup qualification win

Javier Aguirre, Mexico's coach, believes his team has matured significantly, a development he credits for their 1-0 win against South Korea and subsequent qualification for the 2026 World Cup's round of 16. The victory marked a crucial step for the 'Tri,' as the national team is known.

Aguirre pointed to the match against South Africa as a turning point, where the players learned from past mistakes. He noted the team's newfound patience when not in possession of the ball, though he also identified a need to be more direct in their attacking play. "I think we have grown as a team," Aguirre stated, emphasizing the collective development.

Despite the positive result and the team's apparent first-place standing in Group A, Aguirre urged his players to maintain their focus. He stressed that the qualification was not easily achieved and that a tough match against the Czech Republic still lies ahead, followed by the knockout stage. "We cannot think that everything is done," he cautioned.
