Ledezma: "Mexico have good individuals, we are a good team"
Richard Ledezma analysed the United States' style of play compared to Mexico and expressed his surprise at the elimination of El Tricolor.
The United States reached the round of 16 of the U20 World Cup after defeating Qatar in the final game of the group stage and will now face France for a place in the last eight.
Richard Ledezma spoke to Telemundo Deportes after the Stars and Stripes' qualification, where he assessed his performance on the pitch: "I feel very good, I played well and helped the team." Speaking about France and playing without fear, he added: "Yes we can get to the final, we can."
Surprised by Mexico's performance
Ledezma also took the opportunity to talk about Mexico's performance after his southern neighbors were eliminated in the first round of the World Cup without a single point to their name.
The midfielder pointed out the difference between Mexico and USA in his opinion, stating: "Mexico's elimination surprised because they did not play as a team; Mexico is very good with individuals, and we are good as a team."
