Salomon Rondon, currently excelling with Pachuca in the Club World Cup, emphasizes the importance of this tournament for his team and Mexican football. After a standout season with 36 goals, he views the event not only as a platform to showcase their skills against top-tier opponents but also as a means to elevate Liga MX. Despite mixed reactions to the tournament's format, Rondon expresses excitement and readiness, pointing out the significance of representing Mexico and their confederation in this unique competition.
It's interesting because this type of tournament has never happened in football history, says Rondon. For us, it's a huge tournament. Obviously, we are representing Mexico and the CONCACAF confederation, but it's really good to see so many teams involved.
Just reaching this point was a major achievement for Los Tuzos, who qualified by winning last year's CONCACAF Champions Cup in impressive style. Rondon shone throughout, scoring a remarkable nine goals and being named the tournament's best player.
