Chile will face Argentina again for the Copa América at the MetLife Stadium in New York, the same venue where La Roja knew what it means to be two-time champion of the continent in 2016. And one of its emblems, Mauricio Isla, will once again have to the albiceleste team in front.
It was precisely in the run-up to this match that Huaso received a more than special visit to fill themselves with energy. This is her 9-year-old daughter Martina, with whom Isla has a somewhat distant relationship as she lives in the United States with Nataly Hormazábal, her mother and the player’s former partner.
“We came for family projects, but always with the priority placed on the children’s education. Before coming we talked about it with Mauricio and he agreed. We both think clearly about Martina’s well-being, her education and being able to give her a second language. She already speaks English, we are very proud,” said Nataly Hormazábal in a chat with LUN.
Regarding little Martina’s meeting with Mauricio, the woman explained that “it was this Sunday, after lunch, around 2:00 p.m. at the hotel where she is meeting (Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick, New Jersey). They spent a long time together and then Marti went to see him at training. We are still here, I came with my husband, my other son and my dad. “We are going to go watch the game against Argentina and then yes or yes we will be against Canada in Orlando.”
“They see each other whenever he has free time. When he was playing in Brazil, for example, Marti traveled to see him. For Mauricio it is a priority to see Martina and Luz in their free time. Now that we are in Florida, he has traveled several times. He came for the birthday, he was at my house. We have a super good relationship through Marti, which has been built over time,” he added.

In closing, Hormazábal declared that “Marti always misses him, they always miss each other. But they talk a lot on WhatsApp and video calls. Today’s technology helps a lot in communication, they are always connected. If something happens with Marti, I’ll talk to him about it. If he sometimes behaves a little badly, that’s fine. But in general she is a queen, she behaves incredibly, she works super hard at school and does well. “We are super proud of her.”
