Gilberto Mora takes most of the flashes on the Mexican list. Ricardo La Volpe spoke about what the Xolos de Tijuana player’s on-field role should be. “Bigotón” believes that Mora cannot be attached to a gang.
“Mora is a great player And I’ll tell you more: when he played in the Youth World Cup, he played a 1-5-3-2 and the second striker was Gilberto, that’s where he stood out. Now, as a right-hand midfielder… well, I don’t even see him in Xolos, because (Kevin) Castañeda plays on the inside“said the coach in statements compiled by Récord.
He is the Mexican Oliver Atom, it is as if he were born with a ball attached to him.
Look at that adjustment, for mercy’s sake…

Ricardo La Volpe motivated Javier Aguirre to use schemes similar to those of the teams of Argentina and Colombia. La Volpe hopes to see Gilberto Mora much more advanced, a place where he can create danger with Raúl Jiménez.
“I would put a system how Messi or James play in Colombia. Neither behind the 9 nor right-hand drive; I would put it on end on the other side where can unbalance with Raúl Jiménez”he explained.
Gilberto Mora must demonstrate
Ricardo La Volpe recalled that Gilberto Mora has stood out within a club like the Xolos. The Tijuana team has no obligations when raising a championship. The other context in which he shone was in a youth World Cup. The 2026 World Cup will be the true litmus test for the Mexican.
“I want to see it there. Let him break it, let it be small, let it be a phenomenon. Mora should be in the last third of the field, do not wear him back, there is no one like him, but I would put him in the last third of the field”he added.
The Mexican team debuts in the 2026 World Cup against South Africa. The Aztec team will face the inaugural duel on June 11 at the legendary Azteca Stadium.
