Javier ‘Vasco’ Aguirre, Mexico’s national coach, said on Friday that he learned from the mistakes made in past processes ahead of the World Cup that will kick off next June.
“We have done a very detailed and careful job, we have all learned from our past mistakes and this time I say that we are going to get it right. It is very difficult to please everyone, there will be absences in the list, one will be left over or another will be missing, it is part of soccer, of what generates these lists,” said the coach.

Javier Aguirre spoke at a World Cup panel with Mikel Arriola, commissioner of the Mexican Soccer Federation, held in Monterrey.
The city will also host the World Cup in which El Tri will make its debut on June 11.
This against the South African national team at the Azteca Stadium in the Mexican capital.

Aguirre acknowledged that, despite the fact that 13 of the 21 players he is working with at the early training camp in Mexico City have been told that they already have a secure place on the final 26-player roster.
The path is open to anyone from the 55-element roster they announced last Tuesday.

“The list is open among the 55 elements that we sent to FIFA. In soccer we should never take anything for granted, hopefully there are no injuries.”
“I am not married to anyone, nor do I have a commitment to anyone and that is that everyone is in getting on the final list.”
said the former Atlético de Madrid coach.
The coach, who led Mexico in the 2002 and 2010 World Cups, in which his team was eliminated in the round of 16, accepted that this is the process in which he has felt most at home.
Both for teams and federations.
“Of the three processes I have been in, this has been the one in which I have felt most supported by the institutions and teams.”
“I went in person with all the team owners and I was very happy to find that they all opened up the possibilities to me for whatever I needed because this is a historic World Cup for Mexico,” concluded Javier Aguirre.
