"'Chucky' [Lozano] could be the revelation player of the tournament. He has grown a lot," he said on Thursday.
"We practically know each other since we were kids. I know about his capacity. He is very adventurous. He doesn't care who is in front of him.
"Hopefully he will have a great World Cup and will help Mexico to go far in the tournament."
