Argentine manager Diego Cocca has promised to adopt an attacking playing style as he prepares for his first match in charge of Mexico's national team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Cocca will make his debut in the Mexico dugout when El Tri meet Suriname in Paramaribo's Flora stadium in the CONCACAF Nations League on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"The way we play will determine the results that come," Cocca told reporters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I don't believe in winning at all costs. We are going to work together to develop the game plan that we're looking for."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Cocca was named Mexico manager in February, replacing compatriot Gerardo Martino, who departed after the team's failure to progress beyond the group stage at the 2022 World Cup, a Xinhua report said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The tournament in Qatar ended a run of seven consecutive World Cup editions in which Mexico reached the last 16.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"You put pressure on yourself if you think about all the bad things that can happen and because of my way of thinking, I prefer to imagine all the good things that can happen," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Now we are starting a new process with a group of players that have a shared goal of reaching the [2026] World Cup."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
