In the last 20 years, colorectal cancer has doubled among young people and we didn’t know why. Now we have a track

by

In the last 20 years, the incidence of colorectal cancer has doubled in young adults and that has fired all alarms. Above all, because while this type of tumor shoots, we have no idea why. Now, a study headed by Spanish researchers has found a suspect: it is called colibactin and a bacterial toxin produced by some strains of Escherichia coli. The colorectal epidemic. The term is “epidemic”, yes. As Manuel Anse explainedthe alarm jumped in the US in the late 2000s: while colorectal cancer decreased in people over 70, growth rates in children under 50 grew at a rate of 1.5%. In Europe, the data suggests that it has arrived to grow to the rhythm of 8% Between twenty -year -old. It was a huge public health problem. But, above all, it was a mystery. What could be behind all this? The first track. In 2020, a research team from the Netherlands discovered that certain strains of Escherichia coli They produced colibactin and that toxin could produce cancer mutations In the children’s DNA. It was an interesting, promising way; But there were too many conditional in the idea. Those conditionals are those who have tried to eliminate the investigation that It has just been published in Nature. What have they done? They have analyzed the DNA of almost a thousand tumors of this type of 11 different countries (and three continents). Not only that: they have examined varieties, typologies and demographic features. And what they have found is more than interesting. To begin with, there are two genetic brands related to the toxin in question that are 3.3 times more common in tumors of young people (compared to those of people over 70 years old). To continue, “they are especially prevalent in countries with a high incidence of colorectal cancer in young people.” What does this mean? “Mutational firms are a kind of historical record in the genome; they point out that exposure to colibactin in early stages of life promotes colorectal cancer of early appearance,” Ludmil Alexandrov explainedfrom the University of California in San Diego. Everything seems to indicate that the harmful effects of this toxin begin soon (in the first 10 years of life). That is, “if someone acquires one of these driving mutations at 10 years, decades could be advanced in the development of colorectal cancer and suffering from age 40 instead of 60, “explained Alexandrov. It is great news. No, it’s excellent news. Insufficient, preliminary and still precarious: but if we are clear, it is that to contain the epidemic we must understand where it comes from. And, for now, it seems that it comes from the modern world. “In the most industrialized countries there is an increase in cases of infection with this strain of Escherichia coliwhich leads us to think about changes in lifestyle “, Díaz Gay says in the country. How can we use it in our favor? We do not know, but we will discover it.

More and more young in Spain turn to laser machines to erase tattoos

by

There are situations that are no longer forever, even if you record them with ink. Although a third of the young Spaniards carries at least one tattooa trend in social networks It is showing that it is increasingly common to erase what one day was permanent. The “forever.” That is one of the most common phrases when you get a tattoo: “Are you sure? It’s forever.” In recent years, tattoos have popularized so much that Spain occupies The sixth place in the world With more tattooed people, and any event It looks like a good idea. However, according to A study by Lutronic PBSManufacturer of medical-aesthetic laser devices, in our country 60% of the people who tattoo regret it. The most common profile in this trend are women between 35 and 50 years old. And it is not an isolated phenomenon: An American investigation Pew Research showed that one in four people regrets at least one of his tattoos. Examples. This is the case of Natalia, 35, who has asked not to reveal her real name. She decided to erase the micropigmentation eyebrows due to the misinformation about this treatment. When he made them, they told him that it would be semi -permanent, but in the end it turned out to be like a tattoo. As she herself, there is no harm that for good does not come: when looking for a center where to eliminate micropigmentation, she also took the opportunity to erase her first tattoo, which “had nothing to do with it.” The story of that first tattoo dates back to his 18 years: “He was too young, it was more as a impulse of rebellion,” he explained. Over the years, more tattoos were made, but he has assured that “it has nothing to do with my style.” It is easier to do so than eliminate it. “The tattoos ink is deposited in the dermis, the second layer of the skin, because its molecules are too large for the body to break down,” Expert Goergen explains CNN. Laser devices emit rapid energy pulses that fragment the ink into smaller particles, which the body processes through the lymphatic system. In safe hands. So it is essential to have a good professional when making a tattoo. In the case of Sara, 30, who also wants to preserve her identity, her tattoo was performed by a person who considers “a bit inexperienced.” He does not like how he looks or how the tattoo feels in his ankle: “In the background I feel sorry to erase it. I did it with 21 years with money that I had saved, but it is like bulky, as if I had not healed well.” Sara consulted with a dermatologist who told him that the ink could have crossed the surface layer of the skin and that it would be advisable to eliminate it as soon as it could. This situation resembles a Swedish preliminary study, conducted with 11,000 people, which suggests that those who have tattoos They have 21% more risk of developing lymphomas compared to those who do not understand it. A good team. It is important to keep in mind that the process of removing laser tattoos, such as Q-Switched, requires specialized training. Natalia was clear: he thoroughly investigated and specifically sought that team, considered one of the most effective for erase. According to the Spanish Society of Aesthetic Medicinethe incorrect use of these equipment, poorly regulated or applied by unprepared people, can cause serious adverse effects, such as burns or scars. In addition, the organization complaint work intrusion and lack of regulation in these cases and others of aesthetic medicine. How many sessions do you need? Although there are clinics that promise to eliminate a tattoo in a single session, experts from the IML Dermatological Clinic They have warned that this is only possible in very specific cases (very small, old tattoos, with black and shallow ink). The most common is to require several sessions, separated by weeks or months. And yet the process is not exempt from complications. The least visible of the process. Jayne Foo, Singapore financial consultant, is part of a growing tendency of Influencers that shares your experience with aesthetic clinics to show the “before and after.” In his account he explains that he has had open wounds, huge blisters and extreme itching. In his networks he confirms that it is not so simple since you have to take precautions and avoid the sun. In addition, she warns that many videos in networks can be misleading, since they show what is known as frosted effect, which seems to clarify the ink immediately, it is only a temporary reaction that lasts about 15 minutes. An explosion to reverse the ink. Under him Hashtag #Tattoremoval on Instagram and Tiktok, more and more people show their tattoo elimination process. The influencer Claudieta, with more than two million followers, He has confessed: “Never make a tattoo at a time that you are bad psychologically.” In this context, and recently, A fans account of the actress Amanda Bynes a video has uploaded how a tattoo of the face is being erased, adding to the Trend viral. In the end a tattoo is an choice of life. A study revealed that the most impulsive people tend to tattoo more. But, as the interviewees have told us, what hurts is not so much impulse, but the process of reverse. Be that as it may, decisions are free and there is always time to change. Sometimes, erasing a tattoo is not forgetting the past, but accepting that it is no longer part of the present. Image | The Dame and Jayne Foo Xataka | The tattoos were always among us.

There are young Spaniards earning $ 10,000 a month in the Australian coal mines. But everything that shines is not gold

by

“I’m going to show you how $ 5,000 every two weeks in Australia.” This is how a young Spanish named ‘Tonylopezz13’ opens a Video on Tiktok which was published a few days ago and that went viral. The premise is attractive, especially when we have the 13,81.33 euros of minimum salary in Spainbut it turns out that ‘Tony’ is not such an isolated case. There are more young Spaniards, but also from other countries that move to Australia with a goal: work in a mine. Of course, it has a small print. The Australian dream. Foreign immigrants in Australia represent a low percentage compared to other nationalities, but since 2015, when visa ‘was created’Working Holiday‘, fate became something more attractive. Australia has a high cost of life, but also one of the Base salaries higher in the world ($ 24.10 per hour, depending on the sector, becoming much higher in technological, health or mining jobs) and this visa allows a young man between 18 and 30 years to spend 12 months in the country. There are another series of visas, such as students who allow you to work certain hours per week or those who are issued to qualified workers who are hired by an Australian company. Since then, it is estimated that some 5,000 young Spaniards access the Australian labor market, many in this way and, as we see on social networks, some to work in Mines. Coal. Australia is one of the most muscle countries in the production and export of coal. Mainly, their mines are located in the state of Queensland, where there are giant mines such as BHP Mitsubishi Alliance or the mine of Carmichaelone of the largest in the world with a production of 60 million tons per year. In recent years, the Australian mining industry has faced criticism due to underground water pollution, the possible contamination of the coral barrier and, in general, due to the environmental impact that these mines have, but the activity remains one of the most important, at the economic and foreign trade level, of Australia. FIFO. And you also pay well. In a mine there are many types of positions and we can say that, depending on the role, the salary It moves between 70,000 and 150,000 Australian dollars a year. If it is a qualified position, that range is limited to between $ 90,000 and $ 150,000. These works for which a lower qualification is required usually follow a model called Fly-in Fly-out Or FIFO, which is nothing more than an attractive name for conditions that involve working about two weeks in a row with 12 -hour day day and then go home to rest … to wait for you to call you again. Temporary or casual, go. Influencers miners. The works that are usually done consist of cleaning of rooms and rooms, in the dining room or in the kitchen of the mining installation. It works, but you also earn a lot of money and it is something that young people from all over the world are making known in networks such as the aforementioned Tiktok, but also on Instagram or on YouTube Shorts. There are many publications under hashtags like #Miningalia either #FIFOAUSTRALIA in which they show their day to day and where money for only a few days of work almost always has a leading role. And they are true Influencersnot so much because of the virality of one two concrete videos, but because of the effect they have on people who want these conditions. Sienna Mallon. It is an example. This young Australian gained popularity, precisely, for giving visibility to her day to day as an employee of a mine. He studied agronomy and has played several roles in coal and gold mines, speaking in his networks about the challenges and benefits of the FIFO model and accumulating in the process about 450,000 followers among Tiktok and Instagram. Effect called. There are hundreds of comments in Mallon’s videos in which you ask how it can be applied to these jobs, something that we can also see easily in ‘Tony’, with Spanish people, but also Latin American asking for information on how to access these jobs. “When I met these videos on Tiktok, I told myself that I had to take the opportunity,” says a 25 -year -old in Lemond. All paid. And those salaries are really attractive. The first thing is that they are so high for both qualified personnel and without training because the mines are They locate in remote places. That is, they have to offer an incentive for people to want to go to those places very, far away from the cities and where you will have to make life during the working hours. But it is also attractive because there are practically no expenses. In the videos of these influencers you can see how they have private rooms with everything you need, free food, entertainment rooms, gym and, obviously, field to walk around, so you can save everything possible or invest in trips to meet the country during the rest week. Asterisk. But before you start looking at how much a ticket to Australia costs, there are other details to know. “The pay is good, but the day is exhausting,” says another young man in Lemonda, and it is something that goes in the line of people like ‘Tony’ who do not hesitate to affirm that they do not want to sell “the motorcycle to anyone: life during those 14 days is shit” focusing on ‘Tony’, on the video of 5,000 dollars every two weeks clarifies that the salary is high because it is a temporary worker. That is, you work two weeks for ten hours a day for 4,898 Australian dollars – about 3,000 euros – and then … it’s over. If you like you, they may call you again, but they may not do it.

In South Korea offered 14,000 euros to young people in exchange for them to get married. Young people did the same

by

With $ 14,000 you can cover holes, take a few sabbatical months to travel around the world or invest in that business that has been around your head for years. What you will not get is to match two South Koreans to marry, form a home and have children to help the country out of the deep crisis of birth in which it has been mired for years. We know it because in Korea there are administrations that already They have thrown out of a checkbook and reached those figures (more than 10,000 dollars) in their efforts to act as a casameros. All without success. Moreover, that commitment to administrations to encourage matches is having a peculiar effect: it has made singleness A true business. Question of love … and money. In his efforts to leave the demographic pothole in which he has been plunged for a long time, he has not hesitated to pull a check -up. Its reasoning is simple: if birth can be encouraged with money, the government is willing to put it on the table. In recent months the authorities of the country have proposed to deliver large ‘baby checks’ to its citizens, offer Fiscal incentives To families with children, expand parental permits or even guarantee that the new moms have access to select food. Another of the country’s great bets has been to match its young people. And that has gone so much to create appointment programs Designed specifically for single to find love how to make it easy at the economic level, offering money so that the cost of a romantic dinner is not an obstacle. Perhaps it sounds exaggerated, but there is a fact that explains it: in South Pareja and Bulality they go hand in hand. So much, that less than 5% From babies they are born out of marriage. How much money do we talk about? A lot A good part of the southern Korean pairing programs start from regional organizations, so that photography can vary from one area to another of the country; But it arrives with a quick turn by Google to see news from cities or districts that try to raise their birth rate with expensive pairing programs. Recently We talked to you of the Seoul case, where the Metropolitan Government studied to deliver 700 euros to the couples who marry there. It is a lot. Although not as much as in other cities. In Busan, one from the main ones Metropolitan Areas of South Korea and that is suffering the effects of the demographic crisis in a form particularly hardthey have gone a step further blessing the new couples with hundreds of dollars. What does that translate? In which money ceases to be an obstacle to throwing girlfriend (or boyfriend). In June The Korea Herald He informed That one of the districts of Busan, Saha-Gu, planned a pilot project with local singles born between 1981 and 2001 to which it offered 360 dollars (to spend on appointments) only for ‘doing Match ‘ With someone. That is, each couple who left the event grabbed by the hand and with plans to be added 700 dollars for their romance. A figure: $ 14,000. Those 360 ​​dollars per person to enjoy as a couple were only the first part of the SAHA-gu program. The idea was to increase support as the relationship progressed until you reach the great wedding gift: 20 million wones In advance for couples who give themselves the ‘yes I want’, about $ 13,600. The district was even willing to offer newly married a larger deposit if they decided to buy a house or help them with rent. Such a bet is better understood in the light of the demographic tables of the Metropolitan City of Busan: if at the beginning of the 90s it passed from the 3.8 million inhabitantsin 2010 it was at 3.4 million. The trend does not clash with that of the country as a whole, which At the end of 2024 It became a “aging super society”, with 20% of its population above 65 years. Do these aid work? That was the big question that was driving … and just answered The Wall Street Journal (TWSJ) with A report in which the title is almost a sentence: “Not even a governmental aid of $ 14,000 can make the single South Korea marry.” Despite the promise of receiving a wedding gift of $ 14,000, the Saha-Gu program was not very successful. TWSJ assures that no participant demanded that reward. And that Saha-Gu is just one of the aid to which couples can opt. TWSJ remembers that not all support leaves administrations and that there are also religious companies or organizations that try to reverse the country’s demographic crisis. Two examples are the construction company Booyoung Group, which offered $ 75,000 to employees who have a child; and the Yoido full gospel churchwhich gives its members almost $ 1,400. The big question. With such incentives the question is evident. Why don’t South Koreans marry? Why do your birth continue well below of that of years ago? Part of the answer are social and cultural changes. TWSJ He quotes a survey recent that shows that three fifths of the South Koreans with employment do not see the slightest problem in not going through the altar, a factor to which others of an economic nature are added, such as the long working daysincreased cost of living or how will be The parenting of children in a society characterized by their demand level and competitiveness. Another key are The difficulties with which women are to rejoin to the labor market after being mothers. In fact there are courtship programs that have ended up suspending precisely because they could not gather a sufficient number of interested women. Other young people rule out simply registering for the heavy bureaucracy that accompanies this kind of initiatives. “It’s more problematic than you imagine,” Recognize one to TWSJ. Is the government … Read more

The number of young Chinese enrolled in the art schools in Japan has shot. It’s a springboard to stay

by

For some time to this part Japan has been living A arrivals boom from abroad. We do not talk only about tourists, since a percentage of the people who arrives do it with the bags to stay. In fact, a nation stands out in these statistics. The Chinese are traveling in mass to not return due to economic opportunities and socio -political challenges themselves. That is why, many young people are aiming at the university to study art. Art as a way for residence. Chinese migration to Japan is reaching unprecedented levels. It We have recently: With the flexibility of Visa requirementsthe migratory flow from China has expanded beyond the wealthy elite, also covering to the middle class. Moreover, it is estimated that by 2026 the number of Chinese citizens residing in Japan It will exceed one million. This increase is transforming not only the demographic structure, but also the culture, lifestyle and educational systems in Many Japanese cities. And within this phenomenon, a group has gained particular relevance: Chinese art studentswho see in Japanese universities an opportunity to establish themselves permanently in the country. The case of Li Yalin. Nikkei told him The weekend with an example. Li Yalin, a 28 -year -old girl, reflects the trend. After obtaining his degree in China, he moved to Japan in 2019 to study Japanese at a language school in Tokyo. However, the pandemic forced her to return to her country. Determined to return, he approved the entrance exam at the University of Arts of Kyoto remotely and today resides in Japan, specializing in Videogame characters design. Raised in a middle class family in Guangzhou, Li grew immersed in Japanese culture, especially through video games like Pokémon. Now he has achieved work in a video game company in Tokyo, where this spring will begin to work. With just a few years in the country, he is already evaluating his way to The permanent residence. A growing phenomenon. The number of Chinese students in the main art universities in Japan It has increased exponentially. He Nikkei study revealed That there are currently 245 Chinese students at the University of Arts of Tokyo, 462 at the University of Art of Musashino, 448 at the University of Art of Tama, 692 at the University of Arts of Kyoto and 823 at the University of Kyoto Seika. In total, Chinese students represent 70% of international students In these universities, which reflects a clear migratory pattern that links education with long -term residence. The 2017 inflection point. He counted the medium in his analysis that the phenomenon It took strength in 2017when the Japanese government relaxed the requirements To obtain permanent residence. The measure was especially beneficial for international students, allowing them to request residence in just one to three years, instead of the five required above. Not just that. Politics is part of the “Cool Japan” initiativewhich seeks to boost the Japanese cultural industry, such as anime, design and video games. As a result, facilities have been implemented in obtaining work visas for foreigners in these sectors, which has made careers animation, design and video games into quick accesses to permanent residence. How they get the residence. Apparently, Japan evaluates residence applicants through A point system which takes into account the academic level, work experience, annual income, age or mastery of the Japanese language. Those who reach 70 points are classified as “highly qualified professionals”, while those who exceed 80 points can request permanent residence In just one year. Ren Junying, 30, is Another successful example. Originally from Hebei, he completed a doctorate at the University of Arts in Tokyo and now works as a jewelry designer in the Japanese capital. Despite having less than a year in the labor market, it has reached 90 points in the evaluation system, which will allow you to obtain residence shortly. Chinese migration and labor structure. Japan has a unique massive hiring system of recent graduates, which facilitates international students to find employment more efficiently than in other developed countries such as the United States or Europe. As a result, the number of Chinese with permanent residence in Japan has grown 40% since 2017, reaching 330,000 in June 2024. Not just that. Permanent residence too benefits spouseswho can obtain unrestricted work visas. In recent years, the number of people under this category has increased significantly, even more strengthening the Chinese community in Japan. Universities such as “Migrant” springboard. Nikkei explained Cases such as the Coach Academy, a preparatory school for Chinese students in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has seen an increase in the registration of young people seeking to enter Japanese art universities. Yang Kailin, 25, arrived in Japan in April 2023 to prepare for a postgraduate degree at an University University. “My goal is to work for a Japanese toy company and, if possible, obtain permanent residence,” I assured the environment. The school introduced an art course in 2015 with just 10 Chinese students. Today, the figure has exceeded 200. Plus: a new phenomenon has emerged. Chinese parents are the ones who drive their children’s migration to Japan. In this regard, an employee of a preparatory academy pointed to the environment that he saw “more enthusiasm to study art in Japan by parents, rather than the students themselves.” The reason? If a student obtains the permanent residence in Japan as a highly qualified professional, Your parents can also benefit of a possible migration. Chinese migration expands. It We counted recently. Japan’s appeal as a migration destination is not limited to art universities. In a context where the Chinese economy shows signs of stagnation and increasing unemployment, many young people seek Alternatives abroad. In fact, the growth of the Chinese community in Japan is transforming the social structure of the country, where the combination of flexible immigration policies, labor access and a high standard of living have turned the Nation into an attractive destination for those who seek stability outside China.

Young programmers no longer know how to program. AI is now causing the same as the calculator caused half a century ago

by

Myron Aub was a boiler man from the egg head, but all that did not matter. I had discovered how to do something that humanity had forgotten: I knew how to multiply without the help of a computer. After demonstrating it, the members of the new Pentagon were amazed: someone was able to multiply with a paper and a ball! All that imagined Isaac Asimov in his short novel ‘The feeling of power‘, originally published in February 1958. History, in just 3,700 words, is simply prodigious – I encourage you to read it – and raise a future in which human beings do not know how to perform mathematical operations and depend on computers for computers all. When AUB performs reverse engineering of this calculation process, it creates an extraordinary situation. One that leads to an equally surprising conclusion … and sadly predictable. I read that story about 30 years ago and then I found it fascinating – I am an absolute fan of the ‘Foundation’ saga of Asimov, but I hated the Apple TV+ series for betraying that legacy. The prolific author transmitted a clear message: perhaps it is not so good idea to depend too much on the machines. Or maybe yes? The programmers who did not know how to program It is what is certainly happening in the world of programming, which is undoubtedly the segment most affected by the arrival of artificial intelligence. The AI ​​models have proven to be valuable attendees when programming, and just six months after the chatgpt launch nine out of ten professionals used AI to program. The de facto models have become increasingly capable in this type of task, and the popularity of Tools as cursor has shown that The conquest of “effortless programming” Tab-Tab-Tab is increasingly clear. Even those who did not know how to program or knew, but not in certain programming languages, they are now capable of creating surprising applications. AI is not perfect, of coursebut one thing is clear: it is getting better. That, of course, raises a risk: let’s forget how to program. It is just what a developer named Namanyay Goel denounces, which In his blog he explained How “New Junior developers are not able to program.” The AI ​​allows developers to deliver more code than ever, but these young programmers do not know why that code works or if there would be another way to do things. According to their experience, the new generation of programmers use chatgpt or co -pilot or Claude at all hours. That, he says, allows them to deliver more code than ever, but according to this developer, These young programmers do not know why that code works or if there would be another way better to do it. “We are sacrificing deep understanding (of the code) by fast patches, and although that makes us feel good now, we will pay later.” Goel highlighted how not much places like Stack Overflow were a much better source of information for programmers. They asked things, but when they got answers they used to learn why those answers were valid. That knowledge was there for free, and also in many cases veteran developers and experienced people became involuntary teachers for new generations. “The AI ​​gives you answers, but the knowledge you acquire is superficial. With Stackoverflow, you had to read multiple expert discussions to get a complete vision. It was slower, but you ended up understanding not only what worked, but why it worked.” Of course, not everyone thinks the same and a commentator in Slashdot He pointed out How “Stackoverflow has been a source of terrible programming tips and an overdependence of copying and hitting for much longer.” However, Essste developer believes that not yet everything is lost. AI can help you, without a doubt, but you can also continue learning with it. “When you give you an answer,” he advised, “Ask him for her. Ask why (he has given that solution). “He also recommends debating that code with your team of developers to discuss and be able to get new ideas, or perhaps do so with developers who go to platforms such as Reddit, Discord or Mastodon. The calculator teaches us the future The reflection of that developer is undoubtedly striking, but for many it is a useless debate. In Slashdot a user named Zak3056 He affirmed Take two decades interviewing Júnior developers. “A surprising percentage of them did not understand basic concepts (…). AI has nothing to do with this. It is the state in which education is, many schools are creating graduates that simply do not understand the field they have chosen “ Other comments coincided with him, and the situation reminds other industrial and technological revolutions in which a profession or discipline have ended up being completely conquered by machines. We continue learning to perform mathematical operations, but after school there are not many people who do operations at hand: It is much faster to use the calculator. The calculators may cause some workers who performed that task to be displaced at the beginning, but their impact in the long run has been greatly positive. The calculators may cause some workers who performed that task to be displaced at the beginning, but their impact in the long run has been greatly positive To begin with, there are still mathematicians, but they are dedicated to much more complex problems than the machines are not yet able to solve – of the moment either – and the calculators made them even more valuable: they could focus on those problems, and Not in the calculations that could also be wrong because we assume it, the margin of human error is there. In addition, the calculators productivity and efficiency improved significantlysaving all kinds of professionals those most repetitive tasks to focus on others that other non -substitutable capacities (at least, for the moment) by the machines. Will something like this happen with AI and programming? It is very likely. AI has … Read more

Mikel Arriola is committed to improving the work of young people in 2025

by

The president of Liga MX and interim commissioner of the Mexican Football Federation (FMF), Mikel Arriola is focused on promoting the development of football throughout the Aztec nation by 2025 and demonstrate that the country has all the qualities to be one of the greatest American powers in this sport. These statements were made during an interview offered to journalist Olga Hirata, where he highlighted that his intention for this new year is for the national team to have an intelligent strategy to be able to consolidate young talents and thus be able to perform well on their way to becoming in the next stars of Tri. “We have to focus this year on the selection having a lot of activity, but intelligent activity. The coach has been deeply strategic in his planning, and we, from the federation, will provide him with all our support. There is a clear commitment to strengthen the work structure at all levels,” said Arriola. The manager highlighted that the youth categories have registered important advances and this is something that they must maintain in the different international competitions that are held every year so that they accumulate time on the field of play against the best from other countries. “We had a very young team competing in South America with positive results. Furthermore, some clubs are aligning themselves with this vision by integrating players under 23 years of age, which motivates us to continue insisting on the development of young talent.. These achievements show us that we are on the right track. We must continue to support youth and offer them platforms for their continued growth,” he said. To conclude, Mikel Arriola highlighted that it is also important to have better training development in the professional field so that young people feel this as a real job to which they must give everything they can to be able to shine. “2025 is an opportunity to consolidate what we have been building. If we work together, Mexican soccer will have a more solid foundation for the future,” he concluded.

Aguirre sees the positive side of trying young people on the South American tour of Mexico

by

Before playing two games for South America, coach Javier Aguirre said that the result in both games would be the least important. The essential thing was to see the performance of the young players who received the opportunity in the absence of the usual starters who were not loaned by their clubs. In the matches against Internacional de Porto Alegre from Brazil and River Plate from Argentina, “Vasco” Aguire made 14 players debut with El Tri. One of them was Gilberto Mora, who became the youngest player to debut with the national team. The Tijuana midfielder is 16 years and three months old. Mexico defeated Inter 2-0 and then lost by the same score against River. “I leave with the feeling that the tour was worth it,” Aguirre said the day before. “You have to keep balance and draw conclusions. It’s good for me for the future. The objective of the tour was met. There are three or four players who really deserve a chance on the next occasions.” The veteran coach did not want to go into detail about who those players are who could fight for a place in the Nations League, where Mexico will have its next official match on March 20 against Canada. Who took advantage? Although he has few spotlights, recovery midfielder Elías Montiel is the next jewel of the Pachuca quarry and in both matches he showed why. At just 19 years old, the player became a starter for the Tuzos in the previous tournament and was one of the most outstanding in the last edition of the Intercontinental Cup. Aguirre summoned him for both matches and he was one of the few who repeated his lineup in both matches. The problem for Montiel is that in that position there is tough competition for ownership. Edson Álvarez (Fulham) and Luis Chávez (Dinamo Moscow), both with World Cup experience, usually occupy those positions. Luis Romo (Chivas) also fights for minutes. A similar case is that of Jorge Ruvalcaba, who excelled with a goal and several dangerous attempts against the Brazilians. The Pumas winger, with experience in Europe with Standard de Lieja, moves along the left wing, a sector where Julián Quiñones, Alexis Vega, César Huerta and Hirving Lozano fight to be starters. Of the rest, goalkeeper Raúl Rangel, full-back Jesús Gallardo and forward Guillermo Martínez, the only ones previously mentioned by Aguirre, fulfilled what was expected and will surely continue to be regular in the calls. What’s next? In Aguirre’s original plan, in addition to playing games outside of friendly environments such as the fields of the United States, it was contemplated to carry out “mini-cycles” of training with players from the local league. That idea was presented and approved by then-high commissioner Juan Carlos Rodriguez, who resigned from his position in December. After the little support shown by the clubs to release players for the South American tour, it is unlikely that they will want to release them for training sessions originally scheduled from Monday to Wednesday. If nothing changes, Aguirre will have to wait until mid-March to have a full team again before facing Canada in the Nations League.
