The Mexico coach, Jaime Lozano on the eve of the Copa América match against Venezuela that the football that “can best be seen and played is in Europe”.
“You see the games and they are very close (in the Copa América). There is no easy match or rival. That’s what Jamaica was for us, Venezuela will be and surely Ecuador,” said the coach in a press conference at SoFi Stadium , located on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
Lozano believes that the more players from America play in the major European leagues, which in his opinion have “good work habits and competition”, any team from this part of the Atlantic “will have a better chance of meeting its objectives.”
He spoke in those terms when asked about Santiago Gimeneza 23-year-old forward for Feyenoord and one of the great hopes in the Tricolor attack, already thinking about the 2026 World Cup, which Mexico will organize together with the United States and Canada.
In fact, he believes that Giménez is prepared to make the jump to one of the five major European Leagues, which are in England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France.
“Santi’s adaptation to the national team has been very fast. He gave very quick results. I think he will soon be in one of the five important leagues,” he surmised.
“Now he is focused on doing what he has to do with the national team,” but “beyond playing in Holland, I think he will soon be there,” in one of the big five, he added.
