Matías Almeyda, with a background in Mexico and the United States, is preparing to conduct in Greece.
Less and less is missing at the beginning of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 and from the moment of the draw one of the most anticipated matches is that of Argentina – Mexico, which will have an extra seasoning due to the history that both teams have between them and due to the growing rivalry . Fueled, above all, by crossover folklore in social networks.
It is also true that the recent reality and the balance of the processes of both teams is very different. The Selection was born by winning the America’s Cupthe Final and raze in the playoffs; while the Tri was classified with pain and cannot find the expected performance.
Perhaps this is why many believe that it will not be a very complex procedure for the Lionel Scalloni, which in all this trajectory has been able to beat higher-ranking rivals. Meanwhile, Gerardo Martino have doubts about putting together a team that has had a hard time beating smaller teams.

Matías Almeyda directed Chivas, where he was champion and won the love of the fans and the recognition of Aztec football in general. With that experience, he took a stand defending not only the Liga MX but also the Mexican national team, which, according to him, was bastardized by sectors of South America, such as Argentina,
“Argentina despises Mexico, but much of South American football thrives on Mexican football”condemned El Pelado, referring to the fact that many of the South American jewels that stand out in their countries but fail to make the leap to Europe end up playing in Mexican football.
He also criticized the way football was experienced and explained to ESPN from there why he chose to direct outside Argentina: “For having endured so much madness, many coaches got sick, I don’t want to be on that side; I want to enjoy football, I love football”.
Almeyda, today technical director of AEK Athens in Greece, had recently said that Lionel Messi’s team and Mexico would overtake Group C, ahead of Poland and weak Saudi Arabia. “Argentina and Mexico are about to go through, both have to pass, a draw and both go through”condemned the Bare when he arrived at his new club.
