Tata Martino’s Mexico, who will be Argentina’s second rival in Qatar 2022, added a new defeat after falling 1-0 to Paraguay in a friendly. Then, at the press conference, the DT was annoyed by the treatment he is receiving from the press and by the harsh criticism of his team, which has not yet found a convincing style of play.
“I see people happy that a colleague loses or hurts at work, I feel like public enemy number one”expressed the former Newell after the defeat against Paraguay, led by Guillermo Barros Schelotto, in the friendly played Wednesday evening in Atlanta, in the United States.
Martino’s statement came hours after former footballer Hugo Sánchez, from his position as a TV commentator, asked for his dismissal to be replaced by a Mexican manager, less than three months before the start of the World Cup.
I notice an environment that feels comfortable with this rather atypical situation, the big concern is what impact it has on the group of players because every time they have to go out to defend the manager, and in itself it is difficult to be a player “Martino said.
So far this year Mexico, which will be part of Group C in Qatar along with Argentina, Saudi Arabia and Poland, have played five friendlies with one win, two draws and two losses.
