The Pachuca goalkeeper could break the ex-Chivas and Santos star's record this tournament if all goes to plan.
Oscar Perez seems eternal, but the Pachuca goalkeeper's career is nearing its end - just maybe not as soon as expected.
The 43-year-old shot-stopper is closing in on Oswaldo Sanchez's all-time first-division appearances record of 725 matches played, something Perez said is a motivating factor, as is Pachuca's potential run at a Club World Cup.
"Yes, I'd like to (break the record), of course. Obviously there are other players who had big achievements or won more titles, but without doubt I'd like to be among the best of Mexico, I don't know if it will be the best, but among the best," Perez told Record.
