our side, follow instructions and then think
about the others”.

“These matches have given us the opportunity for
our young players to get into rhythm and for
them to feel the weight of using their countries
uniform; they must assume the responsibility and
their role during the game, it’s important for
them to be ready whenever we need them. Tomorrow

peso de portar la camisa de su país, asumir
responsabilidad y su rol durante el juego, es
importante para que estén listas cuando las
necesitemos. Mañana será un juego totalmente
diferente, tendremos que estudiar a México y
