The qualification of the Mexican National Team to the round of 16 of the Russia 2018 World Cup left some doubts. The 'Tri', after winning their first two group stage matches, was defeated by Sweden, in a terrible performance. But now it's time to look forward and think about Brazil.
And the 'Canarinha' will be Mexico's opponent in the next stage. Although there are still a few days to work, coach Juan Carlos Osorio stated how he will play against Brazil next Monday. From the beginning, the Colombian made it clear: "We are going to compete on equal terms", he said in an interview with Univision.
"Brazil has a totally different playing style from Sweden, it will be a playing style very similar to the one we identify with, those of us who are in the national team, and we are going to compete on equal terms. From midfield onwards, they have Neymar, Coutinho, Willian, etc. and we are going to compete for ball possession", added Juan Carlos Osorio, who has been the coach of the 'Tri' since 2015.
Finally, Osorio emphasized that they must become stronger for the new challenge. "The one who is on their day, who has the best performers at that moment, will go through. The task is to recover our group, strengthen ourselves, and understand that yesterday's situation is very different from facing another playing style and what we will face on Monday is a great opportunity", he commented.
