Tension in the Mexican national team has reached its peak, but not due to tactical decisions. Just hours before the crucial friendly match between Mexico and Portugal for the reopening of the Estadio Banorte, national coach Javier 'Vasco' Aguirre went viral for a non-sports reason: a violent outburst against the security staff at the High Performance Center (CAR). Javier Aguirre explodes at security for leaving his son on the street. The scandal erupted when a video began circulating on social media showing the strategist leaving the main entrance of the facility extremely agitated. The reason for the conflict was that security personnel, following established protocols, denied his son entry to the facility, leaving him practically on the street. The controversy comes at the worst possible time, just as Aguirre begins his 'last dance' at the helm of the team, with the commitment to hand over the baton to Rafa Márquez after the next World Cup. With the 2026 World Cup around the corner and a record of 15 wins in his current process, fans wonder if these outbursts could affect the team's concentration before the debut against South Africa. While Mexico prepares to face powerhouses like Portugal, the media focus has shifted to this personal incident that puts the discipline within the national camp under scrutiny. This situation 'alarmed' Aguirre considerably, who did not hesitate to confront the employees directly and unpleasantly in front of those present. Although internal sources indicate that it was an 'unfortunate misunderstanding' and that the coach simply called them to attention severely without the situation escalating further, the video has sparked harsh criticism about the leader's temperament.
