Mexico national team defender: I feel great about bringing a sense of security to the team
Mexico team defender Johan Vasquez emphasized the importance of feeling safe in defense before the match against England at the 2026 World Cup.
"I feel it's great to give the team a sense of security and help the team believe in me. We always try to do our job well, but if we don't concede a single goal, that doesn't mean everything defensively is perfect. In fact it's not always like that: there have been times when a teammate, the goalkeeper or someone else has saved us, while all the glory goes to the defense. But in essence it's a team effort. We all know the stages. different stages of the match, have been familiar with each other for a long time and know the limits of each person's abilities. I think this is what makes our defense strong," Vasquez said on FIFA's official website. The 2026 World Cup round 1/8 match between Mexico and England will take place on July 6 at Azteca Stadium (Mexico City, Mexico). The expected start time of the match is 03:00 Moscow time.
