Fernando Ortiz It is considered that the current helmsman, Andrew JardineIt brought balance to the way the game was played.

“Solari He was a man who did not like to take risks. He had very close lines, forward and back, and didn't like to leave spaces. A coach who was not amazing and did not score many goals, he scored a goal and then started managing his areas; “He made the two lines very compact and it was very difficult for them not to score a goal against America at that time.”

“he 'Tanu' Ortiz A bit more aggressive, or a little disorganized for me, or disorganized, but we took too many risks with both high stability at the same time; We left the centre-backs very exposed, too often one-on-one, especially because we didn't play with more consistent containment, because they were Richard And FidalgoThey both love to feel the ball, reach the penalty area and shoot from a long distance.

“Today I think we have found balance in this position with Jonathan dos Santos, who stays more in front of the two centre-backs and in general Andre likes one of the defenders to stay to give him balance. In the end we are with the best three stops and one restraint,” said Santiago. Bathrooms In chat with Ricardo La Volpe For YouTube channel “Lavolpismo”.

In the same hadith Santiago Baños He pointed out that there is a difference between young Mexican and foreign technicians, confirming this America You can't afford to “try” with a coach who has little experience.

“People are angry because we don't give the opportunity to young Mexican coaches. What I experienced is that there are teams. We have a big problem in fundamentals because we don't have coaches, we have coaches who want: the player from Sub”-15 wants to work in the U-17 team, and the U-17 team wants -17 Working in the U-23 team, the U-23 team wants to go to the Expansion team, and the Expansion team wants to go to the first division. Why? Because they want to make more money.”

“They're not coaches, they're not technicians, they say, 'I'll stay for ten years in the U-14 team and I'll work and I'll coach all the kids who come here and' I hope they get to the first team. And “How do you deal with that? Well, in theory, we are flattening salaries across all categories so that they don't have this problem, but it's not as easy as that in a short time,” he added.

On reducing the quota of untrained people in Mexico, Santiago Baños This is not considered a solution to increase the production of Mexican players, “the good will play.”

“If you force a Mexican to play because you have to fill a spot, the player may not be ready, he may play for a month and you change and then you bring in another player. On the other hand, when a Mexican comes out.” Diego Linesa Edson AlvarezHe got out because they had the conditions and were competing with a foreigner who was theoretically better than him. “If he comes out and plays, it means he has something and he is there to prove it.”

“If you reduce the number of foreigners in Mexico, do you know how much players will cost in Mexico? The good ones? How will you have the obligation to play Mexicans because you have certain quotas,” he concluded, “then the average Mexican player will be worth three times as much.” Because you are forced to have a Mexican player.”
