As Mexico prepares for its crucial CONCACAF Nations League semifinal clash against Canada on March 20, all eyes are on Johan Vásquez, one of the key players called up by head coach Javier Aguirre. The Genoa center-back recently shared his thoughts on representing Mexico and his growing success in Italian football.

Pride in Representing Mexico

“It's always an honor to join the national team,” Vásquez expressed. “I’ve always said that when you come here, you have to give your maximum effort. That’s what the fans expect, and that’s what we strive to deliver—giving everything on the field. Whether I play one minute or the entire match, I will always give my all.”

The Mexican defender also spoke about the team’s mentality heading into the Nations League.

“We are here to win. This is a very important match where we have the opportunity to reach the final. But we must take it step by step and always respect our opponents. It won’t be easy, neither for them nor for us,” Vásquez stated.

His determination and confidence will be crucial as Mexico aims to capture the Nations League title, reinforcing his commitment to the team’s objectives.

Hitting His Peak in European Football

Beyond the national team, Vásquez is also excelling in Italy with Genoa, where he has continued to develop into one of Mexico’s top defenders.

“The last two years have been very solid for me. Even though there have been challenges with different clubs, I feel like I’ve maintained a level of play that I’m proud of. I may not have that many years of experience yet, but I can say that right now, this is the best moment of my career,” Vásquez affirmed.
