Given the lack of exports of national players to European football, the former coach of the United States, Germany and South Korea national teams, Jurgen Klinsmannassured in a talk with various media, that the Mexican is not going to Europe because he feels very comfortable playing in the Liga MX.

“It is a constant discussion that we have had for decades because you have a wonderful league with Liga MX, very competitive. The league is very popular, the stadiums are beautiful, the infrastructure is good, and perhaps that is why the players are too comfortable,” said the German coach.

One of the reasons why Klinsmann He believes that the Aztec players are comfortable in Mexicois due to the wages paid by the Liga MXin addition to the stadiums and the great fans who support the teams in national football.

“Maybe they feel too comfortable in Mexico because they earn a lot of money, they play in full stadiums, exciting stadiums. If you look at Guadalajara, Monterrey, all the stadiums around Mexico City, they are all wonderful places and good venues. Maybe then they don’t have enough motivation to try in Europe,” he said.
