Álvarez also emphasized that his desire was to win the championship to demonstrate all the hard work he put in before and during the 35-day training camp.

“I'm speechless. Honestly, I'm very happy, very happy because it was 35 days of training, during which you don't see your family. And well, in the end, our goal was to win the title to make all the effort we put in worthwhile,” he said.

At the end, he spoke about the goal that gave the tricolor team the title , highlighting that several goals had already been disallowed, so he emphasized the importance of having scored the goal that gave Mexico the victory.
