The United States national team manager Jurgen Klinsmann has said that he is extremely happy after finally overseeing a win over archrivals Mexico. The United States has experienced a lot of frustration when it comes to the matches between the archrivals Mexico.
They have been unable to beat their neighbours in the last 75 years. Mexico were coming into the latest friendly match between the two teams on the back of the confidence inspiring gold medal at the London Olympics 2012. However, the United States managed a surprising 1-0 win that finally brought an end to the 75 year wait for the victory.
Jurgen Klinsmann said after the match that it was indeed a historic moment for the national team. Even though he has said that the team should improve in a number of positions, he is confident that the players can build on the success achieved against Mexico. A number of the players for the national team will be focused on the club matches, which will begin this weekend. As a result, Klinsmann was extremely happy that his players were able to concentrate on this match, despite this distraction. Michael Orozco Fiscal scored the only goal of the game in the 80th minute.
“I think it’s huge. It’s huge for I think all American fans, it’s huge for the team, and it’s historic. We were very well aware that we’ve never won here at the Azteca Stadium. This is an amazing experience for the all the players. We told them before the game: This moment is for you, go and grab it. We are all aware that it was a lot, a lot of work,” said the manager after the match. The United States has lost 23 matches and drawn only one in the last 75 years against Mexico.
