Mexico’s Cuahtemoc Blanco embodies the national team’s World Cup successes in the 1990s. Mexico it had a great national team at the time, which did a great job at both the 1994 and 1998 World Cups. He played in the latter tournament as the Mexican team went undefeated from a tough group with Netherlands and Belgium, at the expense of the latter. Cuahtemoc Blanco then shined with brilliant technique, including a move called from now on Cuauhtemina. It consisted of grabbing the ball between the calves and with a sudden leap he threw it over the opponent.
Blanco is a symbol of Mexico’s success at the World Cup and in the group stages, especially with European teams. Suffice it to say that he dealt not only with Belgium (and several times), but also with Italy at the 1994 World Cup, Croatia in 2002 and 2014 he was a hunter France in 2010 and recently German in 2018. The last time the Mexicans did not drop out of the group was in 1978 after the defeat, among others. With… Poland.
Mexico wants to kick Poland
Now the Mexican soccer star spoke about Poland for “Mundo Deportivo”. Cuahtemoc Blanco, known for his foul language, did it in his own style. – I’d like to play myself and kick them… but I can’t. I’m too old. I’m counting on my colleagues to do it, as long as they get down to business and work for 90 minutes, like we did for Mexico,” he said. He also spoke about Robert Lewandowski. “He’s a… busy footballer, but we also have a busy …” he snapped.
In addition to the 1998 World Cup, Cuahtemoc Blanco also played in the 2002 and 2010 tournaments. This year Mexico will face Poland on the fields of Qatar (November 22), Argentina (November 26) and at the end of the group stage with Saudi Arabia (November 30).
