Only four coaches had the luxury of having shared the pitch with Diego Armando Maradona and having directed Lionel Messi: Sergio Batista, Alejandro Sabella, Edgrado Bauza and Gerardo Martino. The latter had the privilege of directing the Flea at Barcelona, the Argentine National Team and, now, at Inter Miami. Before facing Los Angeles FC, Tata highlighted the luck of being next to “the best in the world”.
“Tata Martino: Maradona, Messi and the measure of Los Angeles FC
“There are times when things in the careers of a footballer or a DT are happening and they don’t have too many explanations. Sometimes, the moments of the protagonists coincide. And, in this case, my role as coach has coincided with Leo’s career in three different places“Martino began, about having been with Leo in Barcelona, Argentina and Miami.
“It will always be a pride to have played alongside the best soccer player in the world at that time. And it will always be a pride to lead the best soccer player in the world today,” said the Rosario coach.. And regarding the different moments in which he coincided with the Flea, he stated: “I think many years have passed. Many things have happened to him throughout his career. The most relevant, in recent years with the National Team Argentina. We’re both more relieved, heh.”
On the other hand, Martino did not want to compare the stages of the National Team and Inter. “Everything has its complexity. It is not that you have to mark the differences. Both one issue and the other have their complexity and reason for analysis.“He pointed out. And he pointed out:” I remember, at the time of the National Team, that there were images of the finals against Chile, of Leo with the ball and seven rivals around him. It was marked as a negative. I saw the same image with Argentina world champion and it was marked as something positive”.
In California, the reigning MLS champion will take on the reigning Leagues Cup champion. For this reason, and on the eve of the start of the South American Qualifiers, Tata will put all the meat on the grill. “I don’t imagine that the match against the last champion is a match in which Leo needs to dose. We understood that the match we had to stop was the one against New York Red Bull”, explained the DT. And he confirmed: “He’s going to play tomorrow.”
Regarding the game in California, Martino opined: “Los Angeles is one of the best teams in the league. It is the last champion. Carlos Vela is a decisive player within the team’s structure. Bouanga and Ilie, too. He has a very solid center back duo. For us, without a doubt, tomorrow’s game will be a good measure and a great challenge.” And he added: “The attraction is that two great teams face each other, with very good footballers
Martino confirmed that Leo will start playing in California. (REUTER)
