Nico Sánchez apologized to Tata Martino in a video, but did not mention Messi, who he had called an “evil dwarf”

He was stung. And he hurt. After the triumph of Monterrey 2-1 over Inter Miami For Concachampions the changing rooms caught fire. And what added even more fuel was Nicola Sanchez, the former River and Racing defender who currently works as an on-field assistant to Fernando Ortiz, Rayados coach. After Sánchez’s audio went viral, now the former center who emerged in Nueva Chicago has published a video on social media of him to apologize to Nanny Gerardo Martinobut don’t do it Lionel Messi.

After the match played on Wednesday in Miami and in which Messi did not participate due to injury, controversy broke out in the locker room. Martino and Messi went to protest against the arbitration panel and a rumor also spread in the Mexican press according to which Messi had attempted to rebuke Ortiz, who had previously assured that “business” was on Inter Miami’s side in having Messi .

In the audio, Sánchez recounted what happened in the locker room. He accused Martino and Messi of berating the referees and when he notified the Concacaf authorities who had witnessed the episode, he received threats from Messi: “He wanted to fight with me. The dwarf (for Messi) was possessed, he had the face of the devil. And he put his fist on my side. “Who do you think you are, salami?” Who did you eat?” I don’t think he insulted me, but since I wasn’t looking at him I never responded and worse,” Sánchez said in the audio that went viral this Saturday.

Hours later, Sánchez decided to come out and clarify on his social networks: “I am present in this video to talk about this audio. I could have hidden behind a text or a paragraph, or had the club act for me. But I preferred register to show your face”, begins the former Argentine footballer.

“I made the audio. The audio in which I explain in detail what happened after Wednesday’s match in the mixed area, outside the changing rooms, as I explained in this audio. It’s an audio that I sent to my inner circle, my closest circle, my private environment. But far from getting angry with them, it’s my mistake, but it will serve as a lesson to me later”, begins Nicolás Sánchez in defense of him, despite having recognized him in the audio “This audio will definitely be forwarded to many groups and people asking me the same thing.”

“I understand that when this audio is made public, many people may feel offended or moved. I understand that the coach of Inter Miami, Gerardo Martino, is a person I do not know and to whom I have referred in a disrespectful way, so I offer my apologies. But hey, I hope you can understand me. “I’m Argentine like all of them and I will always defend my club,” Sánchez adds in the video.

“Without anything else to add, I think everything is already explained in the audio that went viral. So nothing, here I am showing my face”, concludes Sánchez, who avoided referring to Messi, who he had accused of scolding the referees and putting “the fist close to the face”.
