In this year's World Cup, soccer legends Mays and Cron are once again teaming up for their fifth trip to the World Cup, which not only ties the record for most participations in the tournament's history, but also becomes a great story on the field. Meanwhile, the Mexican team is even stronger, with two "five-time veterans" in its lineup - goalkeeper Ozua and midfielder Guadalupe. This Central and North American powerhouse has four players who have played more than 100 games for the national soccer team, which can be described as the real "old and strong".
The 37-year-old Ozua with its cool look like Hong Kong artist Francis Ng and loved by Hong Kong fans, the "Sam" since the 2006 World Cup, five consecutive final week, for the Mexican team to guard the last line of defense, become the team's spiritual pillar.
Given that goalkeepers typically have longer careers, and that Mexico's other goalkeeper, Tenahuara, is already 40 years old, it's not out of the question that even four years from now, Ozua will set a new record and make his sixth World Cup appearance.
And with a record 178 national team appearances, the 36-year-old Gujadadu has played alongside Ozua in five consecutive World Cups, racking up 12 appearances and a goal. He is still in high spirits as he leads the team as captain in this year's tournament.
In addition to Ozua and Guadaldo, 34-year-old defender Hedda Morano and 32-year-old midfielder Hedda Bootlila have both played more than 100 games for Mexico. It will be a tough test for the veterans in the face of an intensive final week schedule.
