Kenton: Mexicans Are Not Humble
After the firing of Hernan Medford as Costa
Rica's boss, Rodrigo Kenton has taken over
and has found success. Costa Rica advanced
effortlessly into the Hexagonal round of
World Cup qualifying with the most points
out of any other team in CONCACAF.
They also won their opener against a very
tough Honduras squad. But their next
opponent is Mexico and the Azteca where they
will really be tested. Kenton though feels
confident in that his side can come out
victorious. He mentioned that the Mexican’s
will underestimate Costa Rica like they do
to all the other Central American squads.
“They always underestimate the teams from
Central America. They always say that the
Central American teams are not rivals to
them. Mexicans also say that they should be
participating in European tournaments, and
that to us shows their lack of humility”,
said Kenton.
He mentioned that Costa Rica deserve
respect. After all, they beat Mexico in
Estadio Azteca eight years ago heading into
the 2002 World Cup.
“I think that’s what hurt them the most,
because if they would have had respect, if
they would have been careful, maybe the
impact wouldn’t have been that hard”, he
mentioned.
Although Kenton is confident, it will take
more than just Mexico’s lack of humility for
them to win the game. The Azteca has always
been a fortress for Mexico and taking them
down there will be extremely difficult. Not
only will there likely be 100,000-plus fans
cheering for El Tri, but Costa Rica will
also have to factor in the smog and the
altitude. The Mexicans will be more
accustomed to these types of conditions and
will be real difficult to take down.
Costa Rica will hope that Mexico’s lack of
humbleness will cause them the game and
ultimately provide their second “Aztecazo”.
