Preview – Carlos Vela On Gold Cup Duty
Yesterday, the North American continent’s Premier International competition kicked off in the United States, with Carlos Vela hoping to make a strong impression on the tournament.
12 teams from North America and the Caribbean are fighting it out for the trophy, with Mexico billed as joint favourites with the USA. Indeed, it seems almost a given that Vela’s country will qualify to the knock-out stages, with their group consisting of Nicaragua, Panama and Guadeloupe. Their campaign kicks off against Nicaragua in a few hours and it looks very likely that Vela will spearhead their attacking play.
Mexico have been in very poor form in recent times, trailing Costa Rica, the US and Honduras in their bid to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. Vela spoke about this ahead of the competition and was at a loss to explain why this was the case:
“I don’t know. Maybe the midfield, ourselves, I don’t know. It’s been something very rigorous, something very drastic. I hope that now things will go on normally.”
In Vela, Mexico have one of the best young players in World football and he’ll be looking to impress ahead of pre-season, the start of which he will miss. Whatever happens in the competition, you can be sure that Carlos will play an important role and Young Guns will be bringing you details of his performances as the Tournament progresses.
