The two champions of the game, Mays and Cron, are making their 5th appearance in the World Cup, tying the record for most appearances in the tournament's history, making it an instant hit. Mexico is also sharp, with 2 veterans in the first team, namely goalkeeper Ochoa and midfielder Guadalupe. The North and Central American team has four representatives.
the national team
Players who have played more than 100 times can be said to be a corps of old men.
Ozua, 37, is well known to Hong Kong fans for his resemblance to the entertainer Francis Ng. Since the 2006 FIFA World Cup, he has played in five consecutive finals, and has become the spiritual leader of the team's defense, guarding the last hurdle for Mexico.
Since goalkeepers generally have longer careers, for example, Mexico's other goalkeeper, Tanahuala, is already 40 years old, it is not surprising that even after 4 years, Ozua has broken the record of 6 World Cup matches.
As for the 36-year-old Guadaldo, who has made 178 appearances for Mexico, he, like Ozua, has participated in five consecutive World Cups, scoring one goal in 12 matches, and still has the heart and strength to lead the team as captain this time.
In addition to Ozua, Guadalupe, 34-year-old defender Hedda Morano, 32-year-old midfielder Hedda Boots Lira has also played more than 100 times for Mexico, the final week of the schedule is very dense, for this class of veterans is definitely a big test.
