“They are giving me the opportunity to come to these friendly matches, If you had asked me a month ago I would say I am not considered, nobody knows me, Right now no one knows me either, no one has seen me play with the eldest, But I would tell you that right now why not, everything must be earned with effort and good performances,” he said in an interview for TUDN.
Obed, who has dual nationality, Mexican American, He said that the team has not promised him anything to choose to represent Mexico.
“They have not promised me anything and I have not asked them for anything, I know that everything that happens I have to earn with my performances on the field, with the way I drive in training and outside of trainingthat’s why when I decided to make the one-time switch I didn’t ask for anything, I know the quality I have and I have confidence in myself that everything that comes I will earn with my effort.”
Regarding the competition he will have in the tricolor, Obed did not say he was intimidated by the players with whom he shares a position.

“Speaking of my competition, The truth is I have never been involved much with Aguirre, especially the first training I had with the sub 23, and I come to learn from everyone, I know that I come to compete also because it is a calling and there are high quality players and I come to compete, they are in trial Luis Romo, Charlie, Edson and Marcel Ruiz, I have seen them play, I admire them, but I come to compete.”
Finally, He revealed that his second great challenge will be the 2025 Club World Cup and who hopes to make history with the Seattle Sounders.
“It’s something I have my sights on, I have to prepare, We have had a good season and we have our sights on the Big Party and doing a great job there and preparing well here. Very important teams are going to come playing here and we are going to play all the matches of locals in Seattle at home so that is a very big showcase for me and the entire team.”
