Mexico City /
In the Canada U23 is aware that Mexico could be left without going to Tokyo 2020 due to homophobic fan screaming during the pre-Olympic CONCACAF. However, the coach, Mauro Biello, noted that so far, they were not informed of any changes for tomorrow’s match for the Olympics ticket.
“I have not heard of any change; obviously it is a short period of time and we are preparing for Mexico, we assume that the rival is Mexico.
“As for the fans, I haven’t heard anything about it (screaming). There is an investigation in this regard and we will see how it goes. That didn’t happen in our game, so I think it’s in the hands of FIFA. We are focusing on Mexico and we are preparing for Mexico at the moment, “Biello told a news conference.
“We are aware that he is a giant”
For his part, the Canadian strategist praised the hierarchy of the Mexican team, which he acknowledged is “The Giant of the Concacaf”. However, it focuses on making history and, in addition to winning for the first time on national territory, qualify for the Olympics.
“We are very aware of the rival we have, it is the huge CONCACAF; but we are in a position where we want to be in terms of the game to get to Tokyo. It’s a game where everything can get married.
“We are preparing to face the giant, for us it is all about reducing those spaces, denying them the spaces to operate them, because we are specific in terms of how to attack and pressure. Canada has never won in Mexico, but at the same time, but it is a great opportunity for us. “
