Oussama Idrissi has acknowledged the impressive performances of several Pachuca players, suggesting that their skills could potentially earn them a spot in the FIFA World Cup 2026 with the Mexican national team. Among those highlighted are Carlos Moreno and Elías Montiel, both of whom have shown remarkable capabilities that contribute to Pachuca's strong push towards the Liguilla.
Despite Pachuca not being a constant source of talent in the eyes of coach Javier Aguirre, Idrissi believes that both Moreno and Montiel possess the qualities required to secure a call-up. In a conversation with Zaritzi Sosa from TUDN, he expressed, "Certainly one of them is Carlos Moreno, who has been crucial for us. He demonstrates a very high level of play that significantly aids our defensive efforts, and I believe he deserves a spot in the World Cup. Likewise, Montiel has shown immense quality, especially after returning from injury. Everyone knows his capabilities, and I hope he can showcase his talent in the coming weeks to earn his place on the national team. Playing in a World Cup, especially here in Mexico, is an incredible opportunity for any player."
In the context of the World Cup, it is noteworthy that Morocco is set to participate in the tournament, positioned in Group C alongside formidable teams like Brazil, Haiti, and Scotland. With just a couple of months remaining before this global event, Idrissi still harbors dreams of being considered for the Moroccan squad, even as he acknowledges the high caliber of the players currently selected.
Idrissi remarked, "I always train hard and strive to perform well. Of course, I've experienced both good and challenging moments; that's part of football. Ultimately, every national team boasts a multitude of talented players, and Morocco currently has a very strong roster with many players of significant stature. Securing a position on that team is not easy. For me, the most important thing is to perform well with my club, and being selected for the national team is a bonus. We will see what the future holds regarding any invitations."
