Of course, his opinion is valid as he has extensive experience as a club and national team coach and as a football analyst on various television stations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Ricardo La Volpe agrees with criticism of coach Javier Aguirre and the current situation of the Mexican national team<\/h2>\n<p>Fans are displeased with the Mexican national team&#8217;s performance, but even more so with Javier Aguirre&#8217;s statements such as &#8220;We are making progress,&#8221; &#8220;We are testing,&#8221; and &#8220;The players lack the ability to perform on a regular basis.&#8221; La Volpe declared his views on Aguirre&#8217;s comments exclusively in Marca as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote\">\n<p>When you call up players for the national team, it means you call them up because you see players who perform well, who work well and who fit into your system.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote-author\">Ricardo La Volpe, MARCA MX<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He also questioned the lack of variation offered by coach Aguirre, who has not found a formula to make his team work heading into the World Cup.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote\">\n<p>I don&#8217;t understand why Aguirre doesn&#8217;t make changes. He continues to play with the outside two, mostly on the wrong foot, so that the full-backs can pass, and what is missing is a midfielder who can reach the last line.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote-author\">Ricardo La Volpe, MARCA MX<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Ricardo La Volpe praises Mauricio Pochettino&#8217;s USMNT and their good form<\/h2>\n<p>The U.S. national team is enjoying its best moment heading into the 2026 World Cup with a five-game unbeaten run, but it&#8217;s also without some of its star players, including Pulisic and Tyler Adams. Mr. La Volpe expressed his opinion about the USMNT as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote\">\n<p>Pochettino brings results, and one more thing, he has changed the system, mind you, he has players who know how to show, results always give confidence, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s important.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote-author\">Ricardo La Volpe, Marca MX<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The United States and Mexico will find out their futures in the World Cup draw scheduled for Dec. 5 with their opponents and teams looking to continue their good form and Mexico to turn the page and start producing results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/world-cup\/2025\/11\/21\/69204bcce2704ea0368b456d.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TThe Mexican national team and USMNT are preparing for the 2026 World Cup, which they will host alongside Canada.
