Argentine coach Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino, coach of Inter Miami In Major League Soccer, he spoke up and raised his voice to comment on the elimination of the Las Garzas team from the Leagues Cup at the hands of the Colombus Crew, a team with which a kind of rivalry has been created in recent times. The Argentine regretted the elimination and said that they took very little spoils for all the merits they had in the match.

Words from ‘Tata’ Martino at a press conference

“We played 65 brilliant minutes, where we could even have scored the third goal. And in 10 minutes that we had a certain amount of confusion, which I think was not because we sat back but because we sometimes wanted to press high when we were perhaps not in a position to do so, they came out quickly, found the discount and quickly found the 2-2.”

“Even when they were 3-2 we had two very clear situations of goal. But the truth is that I am very sad about the result because I think that we take very little away from the game we played and the rival we played against,” added the Argentine coach.

Defeat without Lionel Messi in the game

Lionel Messi is still without action due to the injury he suffered in the match In the 2024 Copa América final against Colombia, Inter Miami was defeated by a score of 3 goals to 2 in the round of 16 of the Leagues Cup against the Colombus Crew, who were losing the match 0-2 with half an hour left in the game, and managed to come back 3-2 with three goals scored in 13 minutes of play.

“When you look at how the team competes today against Columbusthe reality is that one cannot help but be very satisfied with the way we were able to stand at the home of the last champion (of the MLS) and a team that was also a finalist in the Concachampions,” said Martino, who tried to reflect beyond the result that leaves them without the opportunity to opt for a new championship.

“We will try to compete and continue trying to win some title in the league. “local, that’s what remains. I can accept that everything is measured based on whether you won or lost. I accept it because those are the rules of the game. But the truth is that my analysis is from another perspective,” he said.
