​Diego Reyes believes Mexico will win Russia 2018 ‘It’s not crazy to say it,’ said the Porto defender He gives a solid reason for his bold prediction
Diego Reyes believes Mexico will lift the FIFA World Cupâ„¢ Trophy at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow – and he has a good reason why people shouldn’t consider him “crazy” for saying it.
Nobody gave El Tri a chance on winning the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament London 2012, but they stunned a Brazil team including Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Hulk and Neymar in the Final at Wembley.
“It’s very exciting – the World Cup, which is important for all footballers, is coming,” the 25-year-old Porto defender told Marca. “It’s a dream to be there. I had the chance to go to a World Cup and I know what it’s like.
“We’re going there to win it. Many will label us crazy, but they did the same at the Olympic Games. I see myself as a world champion – it’s not crazy to say it.”
