Jaime Lozano is clear: he did not want to risk anything in the Mexican National Team’s match against Honduras where El Tri achieved their place in the semifinals of the Concacaf Nations League and their ticket to next year’s Copa América.
After the match, the Aztec team’s strategist was questioned for not letting Luis Ángel Malagón finish in the last play of regular time, as he believes that he does not have the ability to do so and that there are players for that type of situation.
“He doesn’t know how to shoot and he’s very small, how many times has a goalkeeper scored a goal, but we already have too many people. If I realize that Malagón scores goals, let’s go all out, we were winning, we had generated a lot of second chances, we were going to try, but we have people to make a dangerous play,” explained the coach of the tricolor team.

After going to extra time and then to a penalty shootout, where Luis Ángel Malagón saved a penalty to avoid the elimination of El Tri, Jimmy Lozano highlighted the ticket to the Copa América by thanking the fans for their support at the Azteca Stadium.
“I keep the pass, the ticket to the Copa América, the effort that everyone made, those who played, those who were in the stands, on the bench. The energy of the people was very important, I thought that people would support if the team did things, a lot of gratitude to the people […]. Pressure is released, yes, but look, I try to work in whatever situation I am in, I think I feel very supported by the coaching staff,” he stated.
After sealing their pass to the Nations League semifinal, the Mexican National Team will face Panama and we will have to wait a few months to be able to enjoy this match because, according to the official Concacaf calendar, these commitments will be played from the 21st to March 24, 2024, where the first day mentioned would be the first leg, and the second the return leg of each series.
