GERARDO MARTINOtoday at Inter Miami, He was the coach of the Mexico National Team in the Qatar World Cupwhere he had to face Argentina in a match that marked a before and after for both teams.
The Tata received a lot of criticism for its performance in front of the Tri and even more so after that competition in which the Albiceleste won 2-0 in a match with a very complex procedure that opened a real great goal from Lionel Messi already in the second half.
Messi’s goal against Mexico to open the victory in Qatar 2022.
A year and a half later, the Rosario coach was honest: “If I played the game again I would do it the same way”. Although he acknowledged that “We could have done something more in terms of attack.” In dialogue with TyC Sports, he expanded: “It would give more offensive options for the second half because no one can think of a game only about defending. We couldn’t do the second part of the film, that’s why the feeling of an incomplete game was left. But I would approach it in the same way because you play the same “It’s the same when you have a team to do it.”
Martino does not regret Mexico’s approach against Argentina in Qatar 2022.
Regarding the Scaloneta he maintained that “I am surprised by the sobriety and superiority it shows: Argentina beats you at any time, whenever it wants. Psychologically it begins to win the games before playing them, which is very difficult in a National Team.”
As a distinctive fact, he highlighted that Lionel Scaloni managed “causing a change in the middle of the World Cup: Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernández, Julián Álvarez, Nahuel Molina, Cuti Romero himself. I think that is not natural because they are processes that any coach experiences every four or eight years and this is “It happened practically within a World Cup. You have to dare to do it and have the guts.”
