For TV Azteca commentator Christian Martinoli The excessive verse with which the FMF directors began the press conference did not go unnoticed. Official presentation of Javier Aguirrewhich is why he publicly demanded that they stop selling smoke and actually start working on a serious process.

“I think there is too much talk, there is a lot of smoke, many projects, but nothing concrete,” said Martinoli, who focused his efforts against of the current president of the Mexican Football Federation, Ivar Sisniega, considering that he talks a lot, but says little.

The path forward is set for the next 6 years 📝.

“The presentation is magnificent, really. I find it striking that they applaud when they introduce a coach, everything is very interesting. The words of the sextathlete say ‘gee’. Stop the obvious, stop the rhetoric, stop the empty ideas, get to work.”said the representative of the Ajusco television station

Martinolli did not want to overlook the whole talk about planning that was given again by the FMF directors, but especially by Sisniega, who once again spoke about the great 365 project, which Supposedly he has scouting sessions all over the world to recruit talent for the Mexican national team.

However, in reality, the manager could not explain why there is less and less talent in Mexico and at all times he wanted to highlight the work carried out in the minor teams under the guidance of the Argentine coach. Andrés Lillini, when the reality is that talent under the age of 22 can be recruited little by little to feed the senior team.

“You come to introduce the coach, we don’t want the smoke they’re selling that ‘we’ve been doing this, we’ve been doing that.'”… We are not doing anything,” said Martinoli, who has seen several processes of the Mexican national team go by, but without any progress.”

This is not the first time that Martinolli has harshly questioned the directors and the Mexican national team, especially after the elimination in the recent Copa America, pointing out that instead of moving forward, we have gone backwards.

“I think that in the face of so much verse, dThey should pause and recognize that there are many projects, many voices, but no results, no growth.there is no emergence of young people and now they want to trick us into supporting the establishment of the rule of minors, but without taking into account the promotion and relegation and much less the reduction of foreigners,” concluded the controversial announcer.
