There’s a new era for Mexico.

Yeah.

Eh, Rafa Mrquez, the new coach, Andrs Guardado, the new assistant.

What are your expectations, Camila?

A lot of questions.

We’re gonna have Mexico contra Colombia, a great game because Colombia was a, a really good team during the World Cup.

Mexico contra Peru, that’s gonna be an unknown.

Peru is a tough team, not a qualifying team for the World Cup, so this is more of a sparring.

And again, Chile here in the, in el Coliseum de Los Angeles, that seems to be more of a sparring game.

Chile is, is in a complete rebuilding process.

Mm-hmm.

But I think Colombia is the, the important game, and then use that opportunity to see a lot more young players, I feel, Rafa Mrquez talk to me.

Absolutely.

I mean, I think my expectation for Rafa Mrquez and the entire, you know, Mexican national team is to keep the same energy and keep the same, style and level of play as we saw in the World’s Cup, right?

For the first time ever, Mexico went for a perfect record in the qualifying round.

You know, I think this was- Yeah such a special World Cup.

There felt like a special energy.

I had not seen them play l- the way they did in the World Cup, I don’t think ever in my life, in all of the other World Cups.

So what I’m expecting is to keep that level.

Let’s not bring it back down.

Let’s keep building, keep building upon a great squad of, like you said, young talent, and foster that.

And, you know, hopefully come back bigger and bett- better for next World Cup
