Javier Aguirre: "Guadalajara is our home, just like anywhere in Mexico"

Mexico national team head coach Javier Aguirre has expressed his deep gratitude for the passionate reception the team received in Guadalajara. Ahead of their upcoming match, the manager insisted that the national side feels fully supported regardless of which city they are playing in.

Aguirre dismissed the notion that the Mexican national team relies exclusively on the Estadio Azteca to feel at home. He believes that every corner of the country serves as an extension of the team's home ground, highlighting that the support remains intense across different venues.

"Guadalajara is our home, just as the Azteca, the Corregidora, the Volcan, the Gigante de Acero, or Tijuana are. Any stadium where the national team appears is our home, because it is our Mexico and our country." Javier Aguirre

The manager admitted that while the history of the Estadio Azteca gives it a unique aura, the connection with the fans is equally strong everywhere. He was visibly moved by the hours-long wait fans endured to welcome the team, noting that such dedication serves as a major source of motivation for the players as they face upcoming challenges.
