Mexico Trains
On Artificial Turf To Prepare For Costa Rica
Game
The Mexican national team will face a
challenging environment on Saturday when
playing in Costa Rica. Among them is the
artificial turf at Estadio Ricardo Saprissa
in San Jose on Saturday.
To help combat that, the national team
sought out an artificial surface in the
friendly confines of Mexico City.
The Mexican national team ran a practice at
the Mexico City campus of Tecnologico de
Monterrey, a facility that has an artificial
surface. According to Mexican daily Mural,
some 2,000 students and faculty watched the
national team run through their practice
session.
The stadium typically plays host to American
football games played by the school, more
commonly known as El Tec.
Four years ago, El Tri used the same
artificial turf to train on before heading
down to Costa Rica to open the 2005
Hexagonal.
Mexico beat Costa Rica then, 2-1.
Despite Mexico’s poor record away from home,
the Mexican national team feels confident
about a win in Costa Rica. |
