The supporting actors of the classification of Mexico

Much talk about the colossal action and engine Cuauhtemoc Blanco Mexican national team's excellent tactical Javier Aguirre, of the pleasant revelation of Efrain Juarez or the incredible recovery of Giovani dos Santos. However, there are four people out of the spotlight that I would like to stress, since their participation was critical to get the ticket to South Africa. Here are the supporting actors of the classification of Mexico:

Ricardo Osorio

The weakest line is the central Mexico. The absence through injury of Rafael Marquez (coupled with his lack of commitment to the selection) punched a hole in the rear Aztec. During the Gold Cup, played with Aguirre's Jonny Magallon, Ismael Rodriguez and Juan Carlos Valenzuela. Magallon turned to dry, and Rodriguez and Valenzuela swayed more questions than answers. Given the choice, The Basque Osorio decided to dust off a central, just as it did in the days of Ricardo Lavolpe. Without recovering the superlative level showed in their heyday, Osorio provided solvency and experience. Deserves the greatest merit of Stuttgart to the scarcity of opportunities in the Teuton team.

José Antonio Castro

Much has criticized the call for the selection Gringo Castro. The left side of America, with a drop Tigers game and ended up in a package that will fight to rid the decline more than positions of honor. "Castro is an excellent defensive side, but his offensive projection is practically nil. Aguirre has successfully transformed this handicap into a virtue. Mexico normally aligned with a line of four, with Efrain Juarez playing for the right side. When the game needs more ball handling or a more conservative stand, the Gringo is the solution. Contrary to Salcido, which provides a safety valve, José Antonio provides destruction of game. As another alternative, the tie is provided for allowing Johnson to play as a third midfielder. In part, much credit for the projection of UNAM's offensive comes of having a bodyguard reliable as Castro.

Israel Castro

In the absence of Pavel Pardo in midfield, Aguirre began to seek a means of containment combustible material accompanying Gerardo Torrado. During the Gold Cup, the Basque tried to Luis Miguel Noriega, who lost the title (and the chance to be the successor to Brown) to be expelled against Panama. There entered Israel Castro, who would release the seat for the entire round. Amen the crucial goal against the United States, Israel provides the selection of a midfielder who is able to function both as a shield as a delivery of play. Castro's back Giovani care and Cuauhtemoc, besides having an excellent mid-distance shot. The Pumas' has established itself as one of the main gear of the green and it looks to be the pivot holder in South Africa.

Mario Carrillo

If we speak of supporting players, you can not ignore the right hand Aguirre: Mario Carrillo. The assistant took over the team during the absence tricolor expulsion of Basque Gold Cup, and got to put them to the final. Carrillo styles and Aguirre are not incompatible: the only difference is that Mario is overly defensive and Javier veil her. There are those who disagree with his method, his dry or esoteric ideas, but tactical, the Capello is an excellent complement. Its influence is noticeable. Trust known players such as Jose Antonio Castro or Oscar Rojas, whom he directed in the Americas. I even smell the decision to reinstate Esqueda is another of his suggestions. Eye with Capello, who see him top dog in Brazil 2014 is not so farfetched an idea.
