Mexico finally seems to have a clear football direction under Javier Aguirre, built around a new generation of talented attacking midfielders. Mexico is producing many offensive midfielders, many of them at a young age: Gilberto Mora (17), Obed Vargas (20), Bryan Gutiérrez (22) or Marcel Ruiz (25) have huge potential. To accommodate many of them, Javier Aguirre has been using a 3-4-3 with the ball, overloading the centre with four players: three midfielders and the left winger coming inside. To this young generation of attacking midfielders, Álvaro Fidalgo’s naturalization must be added, as he is already an important part of the team, helping Mexico become a more reliable team in possession with his game understanding and quality in short associations. But Mexico has a problem in terms of attacking depth. They seem to have developed too many ball-to-feet players and too few space attackers. Raúl Jiménez likes to drop deep to link play and combine, there are not many runners in behind, and despite having good moments in games, Mexico is struggling to create chances. The lack of a complementary profile on the right wing is also a concern. Aguirre has tried players like Alvarado and Lainez, both left-footed and naturally inclined to drive inside and receive the ball to feet rather than attack depth. Additionally, both are required to drop into a 5-4-1 defensive shape, which further limits Mexico’s attacking depth and transition threat. On the positive side, Mexico has shown strong behavior in the high press. The team presses aggressively, often going into man-to-man situations, and the presence of multiple midfielders in short spaces creates a solid counter-pressing structure. My feeling is that against bigger teams, if pushed into a deep defensive block, Mexico can suffer without specialists in transitions. The 5-4-1 can help them not concede, but the attacking ceiling with this plan is limited. The second halves against Belgium and Portugal showed they can struggle in these scenarios. Mexico now has the midfield quality to dominate more games. Playing in a group with South Korea, South Africa and Czech Republic where probably all three will give them the initiative will be a good test to see Mexico’s real ceiling in possession. Mexico at least has a clear plan and an opportunity to bring joy to their fans by playing bravely at home. Their ceiling for this World Cup might be limited, but the future looks brighter as this generation of attacking midfielders develops and they add more athletic and space-attacking profiles to complement them. The foundation is there. After years of uncertainty, Mexico seems to have found a direction.
