Ana Lucía Martínez anticipates the classic against Tigres and Jenni Hermoso in women’s soccer in Mexico – 2024-03-13 10:48:16

After a 9-year adventure in European soccer, Ana Lucía Martínez arrived in Mexico to join the Monterrey discipline, a team that has always been a protagonist in the Liga MX Femenil and has two championships and a runner-up in its record.

After a few months where she has managed to stand out, the Guatemalan, who is about to experience their first national women’s classic between Monterrey and Tigres UANL of the Spanish world champion Jennifer Hermoso, already anticipates that it will be a special and important duel for both institutions.

The forward chatted with the midfielder Once Diario MX and revealed his feelings ahead of the game against Tigres and also detailed his experience in Mexico so far.

“For me it is going to be a very nice experience, apart from the people in Mexico who are really supportive. That match is very special, emotional, I really want to play, but the most important thing is that we arrive well as a team, that we can get the results.“said the 34-year-old player.

“This club has very clear and ambitious objectives, we have to live up to what it wants“, he added.

For the moment, Tigres is the undefeated leader in the 2024 Clausura Tournament of Mexican women’s soccer. The team led by Spanish coach Milagros Martínez has 27 points, five more than Monterrey and América.

In addition to talking about the preview of the classic, AnaLu also had words about her arrival at Monterrey, a team that she considers to be among the elite of women’s soccer and that has “nothing to envy” European soccer.

“Rayadas gives us everything so that we have the best performance, it has nothing to envy of any team in Europe. They told me that coming to Mexican soccer was going backwards, but I really came to take a leap in quality in every sense, both in the organization and the professional treatment they give us… It is sometimes said that the Old Continent is the best , Is not always that way. The club really is possibly among the best in the world, not just in Latin America, this is demonstrated in the way it works and the facilities it has.“he reasoned.

The Mexican women’s soccer classic between Monterrey and Tigres will be played next March 15 at 9 p.m. at the BBVA stadium.
