Víctor ‘Pocho’ Guzmán targets place in 2026 World Cup

Chivas Rayadas del Guadalajara broke the transfer market of the Liga MX, as they finalized the arrival of Víctor Guzmán, who came from Tuzos del Pachuca. Now, ‘Pocho’ wants to make it to the Mexican national team and raised his hand for a place at the 2026 World Cup.

“I assure you that it’s not only going to be me there; we’re going to have as many as five more players and maybe even 11 could be called up to the national team to play in the next World Cup. I’m very excited, and I hope I can transmit this to all my teammates so that we can achieve big things,” he said in an interview for TUDN.

“Just as they are listening to me enthusiastically, it’s also for the Chivahermanos to get excited, and this year set your resolution to support us as we are going to go out on the pitch to show what Chivas really is,” he added.

Despite being one of the best players in Liga MX, Víctor Guzmán was not taken by Gerardo Martino for the Qatar 2022 World Cup squad. After this situation, Pocho will focus on gaining the confidence of the next national coach to earn a place in the starting 11.
