Aguirre revealed on Monday, a day after the French team refused to train after a dispute, how he had fallen out with former Portuguese international Maniche during the 2007-8 season at La Liga club Atletico Madrid due to a "major difference."
Now, however, he is enjoying a good vibe in his Mexican camp ahead of their top-of-the-table Group A clash with Uruguay on Tuesday.
"Things are going well and we have a great atmosphere," the former Mexico international told a news conference on Monday as the sun poured into a bright white tent just outside the Royal Bafokeng stadium in Rustenburg.
"The players are all very calm and confident," he added.
"I had never heard those rumours about an implicit pact. Let's hope football will win, that it will be a robust game," he said.
"He's an extraordinary player and a man. Goals are in his DNA," Aguirre said.
