Two finals debutants in the Olympic football. With affectionate favorite Brazil, and a given underdog: Mexico.
- Beating Brazil would be the best in the world, says Mexican goalkeeper Jose de Jesus Corona.
Mexico plays Olympic finals in football. And the whole nation set their hopes on one of the most controversial players: goalkeeper Jose de Jesus Corona.
Corona, 31, must first win a duel against his Brazilian colleague across the plan, but 19-year-old Gabriel.
But also about their own mood. Jose de Jesus Corona, who conceded just three goals in five games, has been forced to take the long road to the Mexican Olympic team.
A year ago, kicked the hot-headed goalkeeper of Cruz Azul from the national team since he was in a match against Monarcas Morelia attacking the opposing team's assistant coach Sergio Martin, and with a fierce Danish skull Martin damaged so severely that he was taken to hospital.
- I could lose control and complicate everything. But here I was provoked, defended the Corona his prank that has become a huge YouTube hit (see below).
Corona was shut down in six games, and lost his place in the squad. And it was not the first time: the World Cup in South Africa in 2010, Corona was involved in a barslagsmål and it cost him his place in the Mexican World Cup team.
After the Danish head of the club game Corona was replaced in the squad of Monterrey goalkeeper Jonathan Orozco. And there were few who believed that Corona would ever pull on a Mexican landslagströja again.
But he got it. And now he can take Olympic gold.
Mexico beat underdog when the team defeated Japan 3-1 in the semifinal, and thus qualified for the country's first Olympic final ever.
A performance that has attracted considerable attention in Mexico. Previously, the Mexicans at best reached the semifinals, and it was the home Olympics in 1968 where the team eventually fell in the bronze match against Japan.
In London, Mexico on their way to the finals taking on significantly more difficult opposition than Brazil did: South Korea (0-0), Gabon (2-0) and Switzerland (1-0) in the group stage and then Senegal (4-2) and Japan (3-1). Brazilians have played against Egypt (3-2), Belarus (3-1) and New Zealand (3-0) in the group stage and then Honduras (3-2) and Korea (3-0).
