Beijing time (CEST) August 9 — After leading Monterrey to victory over Inter Miami, Monterrey head coach Matías Almeyda discussed the overall standard of Mexican football.

He believes that Liga MX deserves greater international attention, as many people comment on it without understanding the league's true level.

Almeyda stated: "I think Mexican football is developing well and has a bright future. First, the world should be able to see this competition, because not many people truly understand it right now, and many don't understand it at all."

"I used to work in Europe and saw various situations. If you look at some of the things happening here, you might be surprised. So we need to showcase Liga MX to the world, so everyone can see that there are great coaches, brilliant tactical ideas, and strong teams here."

Almeyda: Liga MX is highly competitive; any team can win the championship

Almeyda then compared Liga MX with European leagues such as La Liga.

He believes that while top-tier teams in Europe's leading leagues have an advantage due to substantial investment, the greatest appeal of Mexican football lies in its more open competition, where any team has a chance to compete for the title.

"Of course, they (strong European teams) do create a gap, but that stems from their investment scale. So from that perspective, they should have a clear advantage."

"But what's interesting about Mexican football is that any team can become champion. In Spain, if you play for one of those top clubs, winning the championship might be easier. Of course, there are also teams like Atlético Madrid that will compete."

"Other teams focus on different objectives, so competition in the middle and bottom halves of the league becomes different, and sometimes it even seems less exciting."

"Whereas in Liga MX, what I see is that any team has a chance to win the championship. Just making it to the Liguilla is already very difficult."

Almeyda on Messi's loss: This pain is indescribable

Finally, Almeyda also spoke about Inter Miami captain Messi who recently lost his father.

He offered condolences based on his own experience, sharing that he too lost his father recently.

Almeyda said: "We have all experienced the pain of losing a father, and I myself lost my father not long ago. Many thoughts come to mind, and I stand with him as he faces this pain."

"He will receive much love from many people, but he, his mother, and his siblings are the ones who truly know the pain they are experiencing inside."

"For those who have lost a father, this kind of pain cannot be put into words—it is truly heartbreaking."
