As the 2018 World Cup comes to its final stretch, the preparation for Mexico’s next cycle will start in few months when they face Uruguay and the United States. Both games could consist of some experienced players, as well as some young players. During the 2018 World Cup, the average age on the Mexico national team was around 28 years old, given that many players like Rafael Marquez, Oribe Peralta, Jose de Jesus Corona and Alfredo Talavera were all over the age of 34. Their departure now will potentially open doors for many young talented players to develop the confidence to take over and lead them to starting roles.
