Tata Martino expressed a very sad reason after the elimination of Inter Miami

The Argentinian Gerardo Martinocoach of Inter Miami of Leo Messi, this Wednesday justified the exclusion of his team from the Concacaf Champions Cup due to the budget restrictions that exist in MLS to develop templates.

“I maintain that the teams with the best squad in Mexican soccer have accessed this opportunity of the Champions Cup. America, Monterrey and Tigres I say. I do not put Pachuca because its structure is built on young players . As long as MLS does not issue rules to have better squads and absences and injuries can be replaced more easily, there is an advantage,” he explained.

Mexican Rayados del Monterrey defeated Inter Miami 3-1 this Wednesday in the second leg of their Champions Cup quarterfinal series. This score, added to the 1-2 in the first leg, meant a 5-2 aggregate that gave Monterrey a pass to the semifinals.

According to Martino, former Mexico coach, until MLS ends with a salary cap that does not allow its teams to spend freely on building squads, except for three designated players who can be paid any amount, it will be difficult for teams. American teams compete in the Champions Cup.

Martino did not shake hands with Fernando Ortiz

Regarding Wednesday’s game, Martino said that his team looked good on the field of Monterrey until the third goal, when, in his opinion, the series was decided in favor of the Mexicans. “In the first half, we did well, we lacked depth, but we controlled the ball. We missed hurt. Either way, Monterrey ended up just passing.”

‘Tata’ refused to explain why he did not shake hands before the game with his compatriot Fernando Ortiz, Monterrey’s strategist, where he and Lionel Messi, the Miami star, had a row in the first leg. . “That (greeting) didn’t happen, it’s not important either. “We coaches are important when we lose and not when we win.”
