Crisis in the Mexican National Team after draw with Valencia

The recent match of the Mexican National Team against the Spanish team Valencia at the Cuauhtémoc Stadium did not fill the venue and generated criticism due to the final score of 2-2. Despite the criticism, fans continue to punish the National Team with their absence in the stadiums.

So far, no tickets have been sold for the upcoming return match against Honduras at the Nemesio Diez Stadium on November 19. This has generated concern among supporters of the Green team. Honduran journalist Gustavo Roca mentioned that Honduras would not play with their starters in the return match, highlighting Mexico's tendency to face rivals with B teams.

Beforehand, the National Team must travel to San Pedro Sula to face Honduras in the Concacaf Nations League. Mexico has had good results in recent matches, such as in the 2023 competition where they won at home. Additionally, the head coach, Javier Aguirre, has highlighted the team's improvement in the last four matches.

Despite the positive results obtained in recent encounters (New Zealand, Canada, Valencia, and the United States), the fans have not responded strongly. The number of spectators is expected to improve, as this competition is crucial in preparation for the 2026 World Cup. Although the National Team is facing a attendance crisis, recent good results have been a relief for the Federation.

Even though the results have been favorable, the fans are not fully convinced. The matches of the Mexican National Team have been successful in terms of results, but they still do not fully captivate their followers.
