England team captain Mark Guey regards the Mexican team as the undisputed favorite for the upcoming match of the 1/8 finals of the World Championship, which will take place this week in Mexico City.

The English earned a spot in the round of 1/8 by defeating the Democratic Republic of the Congo with a 2:1 draw on Wednesday, and now they are counting on one of the most difficult chances to try in the tournament. Thomas Tuchel's team will have to face not only their rivals, but also the intense pressure of the stands and specific climatic minds.

Mexico is playing in their home Azteca stadium, where the rulers have depressing statistics - more than two hits in 89 official matches. Assessing the balance of power, the 2024 European champion Mark Gay gave his due to the tournament team:.

" - I would say that they stink of their kind of favorites. Stinks roar into the house and know the place much better. Vony have not conceded a goal yet and are looking for a perfect result. It will be worth testing. You come to this place to play against the best teams in the best atmosphere. “This is the match that we are all looking forward to,” said the commentator for FIFA.

This fight has even deeper historical significance for the English. The English team returns to the Azteca stadium exactly 40 years after the huge quarter-final victory against Argentina, which went down in history through Diego Maradoni's goal, known as the Hand of God.

An additional factor will be the fact that the match will take place at an altitude of 2200 meters above the sea level. This means that the resilience and patience that the England team demonstrated in the game against DR Congo will be critical to achieving a positive result.

Speaking about preparing for crazy pressure, Gays spoke about the importance of psychological toughness and forward visualization:.

" Just respectful, as you are good at dealing with such moments. “You begin to realize how you look at these moments, and visualize them, so that when they come, you are not sick,” the footballer concluded..

Apparently, it became known earlier that FIFA would not change the start of the matches between England and Mexico and Brazil and Norway..
