The Mexican National Team will face one of the most important matches in the Concacaf qualifying round for the Qatar 2022 World Cup this Thursday. The team led by Gerardo Martino will receive the United States, its biggest rival in the region, in the clearance of the Azteca Stadium. El Tri is currently in third place in the standings with 21 points, the same as the Stars and Stripes, but the Americans average a better goal difference.
Last January, Héctor Herrera, one of the figures of the Mexican National Team, made some statements that did not go down very well with the fans. The current Atlético de Madrid footballer, who will join the Houston Dynamo at the end of the season, pointed out that the Coloso de Santa Úrsula does not have an environment that makes visitors feel intimidated, as it happens in the fields of Central America.
“The atmosphere is not so strong that the rival says ‘I’m screwed’. In that aspect we could be stronger, it is something that I see or would like to see in my country, in my stadium, to see that people are truly involved” , pointed out Herrera at the beginning of the year.
This Sunday, March 20, upon his arrival in Mexico, Raúl Jiménez, another of the figures of the national team, asked the fans for support through a brief message. These statements by the men of weight of the Mexican National Team contrast with the vision of the directors in charge of setting the ticket prices for next Thursday’s duel.
Through its social networks, the Azteca Stadium announced the prices to see the duel between El Tri and the United States this Thursday. Tickets range from 1,100 pesos to 2,500 pesos. These prices, instead of encouraging the presence of fans in the building, inhibit their presence in the Concacaf classic. At this moment the panorama is not very flattering and it seems that the Mexican National Team will not play with a full stadium.
This could represent an advantage for the American squad, which will not face an adverse environment or complicated weather conditions during its visit to the Coloso de Santa Úrsula. Mexico still does not get its ticket to the World Cup and in case of a tie or defeat, it would compromise its qualification to Qatar.
