Shake hands and get to work!
It seemed like the ship was sinking, but the Mexican National Team swerved. After hours of crossed versions and doubts about the commitment of some players, the atmosphere that smelled of gasoline begins to calm down.
The fear that certain absences would set off alarm bells right in the middle of World Cup preparations was left behind. Javier Aguirre’s coaching staff set the deadline, the group met at the CAR, and the episode is now history.
“This Wednesday night the concentration of the Mexican National Team began for the 2026 World Cup,” the Tricolor published online.
The photo they released is pure attitude: everyone summoned, smiles, and in the foreground Alexis Vega and Roberto Alvarado. Just them, the ones who hours ago had their clubs releasing statements. But on the field, what matters is the team.
Of course, the image went viral and the memes were unforgiving. Some are already predicting a complicated outlook for the World Cup. But you know what, this is football: prior tension is sometimes the best fuel.
Starting today, the group starts work. Those who are on Rafa Márquez’s radar also join in. And those who play abroad will arrive when their seasons end and they complete their obligatory vacations.
The lesson here is simple: commitment is not demonstrated with words, but with actions. And the first fact was everyone being there, ready to sweat their shirts. This is how you build a real team, step by step, sweat by sweat. Let the ball roll!
