Sven Pleased With Mexico’s “Deserved Victory”

A three-goal victory over Jamaica was more than enough to bring a smile to Mexico coach Sven-Goran Eriksson on Saturday night.

After watching his side deconstruct Jamaica and run out 3-0 winners at the vaunted Estadio Azteca, Mexico manager Sven-Goran Eriksson had nothing but praise for his team.

"Perhaps, yes, today it was easy to solve the match with a 3-0 score, but there is still more work before classifying to the hexagonal round,” the Swede said. “We must continue working like this and to play with this form against Canada on Wednesday. I am very contented this is a deserved victory in which we had total control for the full 90 minutes. And we scored three beautiful goals.”

Equally important to the control and the goals for the manager was the quality of the play, the creativity and the defensive tightness.

" Jamaica only had one look at goal and we played good soccer, created more occasions than those that we completed, and we could have scored more goals,” Eriksson said. “Today we won with class and personality. We have six points, and tomorrow we will begin to prepare for Wednesday’s game with Canada."

El Tri face Canada in Chiapas, and may be without starter Pavel Pardo. Eriksson said the Stuttgart strikre would undergo an exam last night to determine if he would be available in three days’ time. But the injury was the only blemish on a nearly perfect night in Mexico City.

"I like our team very much,” he said. “We defend very well and that is important also."
