I<\/span>If you’re familiar with soccer and know Mexican soccer, it’s Ricardo Antonio La Volpe. He studies and analyzes it every day. This can be seen on his YouTube channel, Lavolpismo. In this space, he explains tactical concepts and systems in detail. An authoritative voice on the current state of the Mexican national team, the coach is very clear about the lack that exists in Liga MX and is negatively impacting the national team: the lack of players who can play on the outside and disrupt the system.<\/p>\n
In an exclusive interview with MARCA MX by Dan Fridman, “El Vigot\u00f3n” astutely expressed an observation he has been making for some time: that there is a notorious lack of local talent performing functionally on that side of the field. This is more of a concern in shaping his beliefs than a criticism. Because he sees the problem as not being solved at the grassroots, starting with recruitment and training.<\/p>\n

He analogized the work process of Argentina, which is currently world champion, continually exports players to countries and is also accustomed to participating in Youth World Cups.<\/p>\n
\n
Do you think (in Argentina) we don’t know if (a boy) has the characteristics to play as a winger, as a winger, as a midfielder, or from defense to attack to full-back?! If they come to me now and say that a full-back has to replace the ability of a midfielder to play outside… no!<\/p>\n

To make his ideas more specific, Mr. La Volpe cited as an example what he knows best and what makes him an expert on the subject: reading systems. He said that in modern soccer, it is necessary to consider the width of the field, and for this it is essential to formulate a game plan with players who know each side well.<\/p>\n
As a coach, he said: If the opposing team proposes a tactical system using full-backs and does not have players with the skills and qualities to play on the wings, you will suffer. In contrast, if you have a winger or midfielder who knows how to play outside and can also dribble, your opponent’s proposal will be ruined.<\/p>\n
\n
Let’s not forget the fullbacks. If I have a good winger and he dribbles, I’ve already broken the system. that’s what we have to look at<\/p>\n
Ricardo La Volpe, MARCA MX<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And that, as he pointed out in an interview, is what is missing from Liga MX and the Mexican national team. In fact, as he often says, he still doesn’t understand when or how Mexico stopped producing and developing players with strong presence on the flanks.<\/p>\n
we had but now we don’t, something is wrong<\/h2>\n
When referring to Mexican soccer players, he mentioned Jesus Arellano, Alberto Medina and Marco Antonio Ruiz as examples of Mexico’s past system that prioritized full-backs, wingers and outside midfielders. If someone from the new generation sees the Mexican national team without a player in the side, La Volpe makes the situation clear, lest they be fooled because they once had such a player.<\/p>\n
\n
Yes, it’s done.<\/p>\n
Ricardo La Volpe, MARCA MX<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Although there is currently no team, from his point of view, “El Vigoton” has found a very visible structural flaw. He believes it is clear that something is wrong and it has something to do with the club’s lack of interest in monitoring, developing and developing players in wide positions. Similarly, he points to a lack of instilling in players the concept of the system regarding the area of \u200b\u200bthe field in which they will play.<\/p>\n
\n
That’s what’s missing. You look at the team and you see we’re not producing players…I don’t know if they’re not paying attention in scouting and recruiting players.<\/p>\n
