Friday, May 31, Soldier Field Stadium, Chicago, Illinois. TheThe Mexican Futbol selectionled by Jimmy Lozano, faced the Bolivian National Team in a friendly match prior to the Copa América 2024, which will take place this summer.
The peculiarity of tonight’s meeting lay in the fact that, for the first time, the national strategist dared to leave out of the list elements that seemed ”obligated” on the tricolor roster, such as the case of Guillermo Ochoa, Raúl Jiménez, ‘Chucky’ Lozano, among others.
In total, there were fifteen footballers that Jimmy Lozano debuted tonight against the Bolivian squad. And although the match was friendly and the important thing will be how they show themselves in the Copa América, it is fair to recognize the boys, who rose to the occasion.
It is true that football is a collective sport, which is never won or lost due to the fault or grace of a single footballer. However, it is also true that there are elements that stand out from the rest, with specific touches that are decisive.
Such is the case of what they experienced tonight, both the UNAM Pumas goalkeeper: Julio González, who rescued a clear goal play in the eighty-fifth minute, and Efraín Álvarez, who decisively defined a ball received in the area, marking the 1-0 that would end up being definitive in favor of the national cause.
The next match of the Mexican Soccer Team will take place next Wednesday, June 5, at the Empower Field at Mile High, in Colorado. The rival, in what will be the second preparation match for the Copa América 2024, is none other than the Uruguayan National Team, led by the emblematic Marcelo Bielsa. A brave test for the national squad.
