The Argentine coach Gerardo ‘El Tata’ Martino decided to speak in front of the microphones about the current situation that the Florida team is experiencing.
“The rival put pressure on us. The first chance we could get out, we found the goal.

About the game that his team started, he lost on the scoreboard 2 minutes after Franco Negri’s goal against him.
Diego Gómez will be a hard loss for Miami
Miami’s Paraguayan player, Diego Gómez, had to leave the match with a visible injury that could lead him to miss several games and this is what Martino commented on the matter: “It could be something basic.

Exchange of words with a journalist at a press conference

The former Racing Club player, who headed to Brazil with Corinthians, could be in the orbit of Inter Miami a few hours before the closing of the Major League Soccer transfer market.
“Has it already been announced by the club? So, how can I tell you… I didn’t see it. You make me talk about a player we don’t have still. Maybe we can talk during the week. “Let’s wait a little longer,” was Martino’s response. “Over there… We have 72 hours left. Over there… Let’s wait,” the former Barcelona coach concluded on that topic.
“There are many things that we must correct, but I would like to be able to do it with a full team.”. Today, we have seven or eight players outside. In a league like the MLS, which is so strict with the budget, and above all being able to freely count on academy players… We had to make a move to have Yannick (Bright) and Leo (Afonso), it was not easy. “We had to include them in the main roster, that means we have less money to make a hire.”
“It is not a facility that the league grants you and we have to go out and replace important players. with two guys we chose 60 days ago in a draft. If all this happens to us and we collect 18 points, we will be achieving the objective of accumulating points now so that the second part of the year is not so demanding and dramatic,” said the Argentine coach.
