"This is the last time I speak on the subject, I will not talk about the national team, it does not correspond to me, I was not a candidate at any time, I am Mexican and if anyone is doing well for Mexico it is me, I was pleased that they qualified, it was said that it was a bad qualifying round and it is not true, they have done a good job".

"I would like to congratulate the boys who participated in this process, I congratulate the coach and the Federation for this important achievement of advancing to a World Cup, I am happy at Tigres, I am grateful to the board and the boys who have given their all. I wish them the best in the world, may Mexico do its best," he said.

The coach had stated in previous days that he never refuses the possibility of joining the Tricolor and that if Martino cannot continue due to health issues, he should step aside, but this day he made it clear that he is fine with the Felinos.

Herrera is focused on Tigres

Herrera spoke about the squad for the upcoming matches and said that he has a large squad, that he has had good teams, but that in Tigres he has two starting teams, so he will try to rotate the elements for the following matches.

"I'm glad to have those problems. I had had very large squads, but here I have two starting teams and any team would like to have them as starters," he added.

Regarding the possibility of being at the top of the general classification of the Clausura 2022 Tournament, Miguel Herrera said that it is a goal, that they want to remain at the top and maintain the pace they have had in the tournament.
