Andrés Guardado and the moment of the Tri

Crosas: Like you, I agree that you are in the best moment of your career, I think there are several Mexicans here in Europe like Herrera, Layún, Ochoa, Chícharo who are at this mature stage as footballers, do you think that they have lost opportunity to do anything historical with the selection?

Andrés Guardado: Totally, totally. I am convinced that we are giving ourselves a very big opportunity. If I'm honest, I'm not putting off yet, it's hard for me to talk about what happened in the World Cup, I do not like it, because I arrived with so much frustration because before the World Cup, I made the decision to leave my comfort zone, the PSV coming into this league, to bet on a new project that I did not know if it was going to be good or bad, but I wanted more competition to reach the World Cup and unfortunately, in recent days, I suffered an injury that was not treated very well, I had to operate , I was just right from the World Cup, a lot of things that frustrated me personally and then at the level of the group, because, as you say, I think we have the maturity and quality to have done more in the World Cup. World.

Andrés Guardado and his loyalty to Tri

Crosas: But you have not spoken or said I do not want to go? Because we talked about it …

Andrés Guardado: Never, never, it's totally a lie. I do not like to leave at the moment and say that it's a lie or deny all the news, I can not deny everything because I would not live, but I've never said that I did not want to go. In the end, they were decisions, I do not know if the Tuca, the Federation. If they think my time with the national team is over, well, it's over, nothing happens.

Crossas: And the band wants some?

Andrés GuardadoOf course, of course, he feels it, I believe him particularly in this process. Look, I've been in several and I've said, in all there have been problems, but the Volpe, problems with the press because it was stupid. Sven Goran Eriksson, a stranger who had just gone on vacation. Hugo Sánchez that this and that the other and so whoever tells you that he touched me, has always been like that, there has always been a but.

With Osorio also, who was Colombian, who did not like his rotations and who always criticized the coach. Logically, a player is not nice to work like that, there are so many doubts and it seems that there is a war between the players and the press, that the press is looking for how to always eliminate the negative and that we always put ourselves on the defensive. Why can not we all work in one way, everyone in what is dedicated to the selection, seeking the best for it and I have no doubt that the press and everyone want the best, but there is some things in the middle that make it easier This sort of thing, which has to sell news, has to be rated.

Then they look for the yellow color and the player feels hurt. It's a vicious circle that does not help. When it comes to work, it's not that you train and think about it, of course not, but it adds, if it's in itself a pressure to play in the selection, is to add something that does not help anything.

Crosas: With those doubts and this nervousness experienced, you who have always been in the selection, compare it later, who you have applauded in other teams, have you ever doubted to say that I do not have a chance? Are there more and I prefer to stay here that they like me so much and they show me more?

Andrés Guardado: No, the truth is not, hey, sometimes you wonder: why am I out of my country, they appreciate my work and in my country not so much ?, But as far as thinking about staying here, no, no . Because finally I speak to you for me, it has always thrown me more on my selection, be in selection in all directions and I leave all that aside, in the end it is not worth to be part of the selection , so you have to be very mentally strong and I think that in all my career, I have earned my pass for the national team. Sometimes you wonder why the places I have in my day-to-day life and in other places like Mexico ?, and I do not want it. put the bag, but very few people know what I do every weekend, they are carried away if they say they lost, they won and I doubt that there are people who you follow all the time and maybe they quit the process over there be colder, not so valuable unlike here, they see you day after day.

What the Mexican national team must change, according to Andrés Guardado

Crosas: You have experienced successful processes. What process does Mexico need? Or what needs to change to succeed?

Andrés Guardado: I would put this question to the managers. I do not want to say that I attack the managers, because we also have a lot of responsibilities, but this jump of quality must come from the managers who own the football and who must see further, I said that all my career, he must there is more facilities for players to leave.

Why Mexican football is not seen in Europe ?, But the MLS or the Argentine football. Why the Mexican future, do not we see abroad? Why do not we market it further so that they see our players? The gentlemen's agreement, many years old, is not doubtful today, there will be managers who mocked the agreement we concluded as a partnership of players with the gentlemen & # 39; s agreement, I assure you, because they follow the way of leading teams in a way that, in my opinion, does not progress.

Now, fortunately, the rule of 20/11 has come back for them to come out younger and bear more fruit. Talents are emerging and that's what we need in the future. I came with this rule and we ended up with the rule of 10/8 foreigners, fortunately they saw this detail, that there was no change in the selection. How many had criticized the fact that there was no change, but who was going to move to the selection, there would be one or the other but who would go if it was not there? there was no more and nowadays this change of generation.

Let's hope that all these rules help to evolve in all the directions of the fact that they always wait for the player to give the "jump", it has always been: it is the mediocre player, it is that the player lives very comfortable in Mexico and does not want to go out; and then the young people started wanting to leave and they were already the managers who did not let us out, they paid me 10 million and if you realize all that came out, they came out pretty well sold Herrera, Chicharito, now Guti, the Chucky Me, at the time; with the exception of Tecate, who had to fight with Monterrey, which was not necessary.

There is no Argentina or Uruguay saying who is the best. OK, I give it to you. With an option to buy, I think there are ways in football to give players more ease, and so on. grow in general like Mexican football.
