The experienced coach took advantage of the post-match press conference to talk a little about the impact of the Uruguayan player.

Words from ‘Tata Martino’ about Lucho Suárez

At first, Martino commented the following: “Luis inside “What he usually offers to the team in terms of competitiveness, leaving aside the most important thing, which is the goals. In terms of effort, commitment to the team and in a game when we were eleven against eleven or when we were down to ten, we managed quite well.”

“Maybe we gave up a bit of field, especially in “We had a good second half, but I think we fought back well. I can’t find many scoring opportunities that Cincinnati had and we ended up winning fairly,” added the technical director of the Fort Lauderdale organization. On the other hand, Martino was very happy about qualifying for the playoffs, but calm and focused on what comes next: “We expected to be in the playoffs. I don’t think I have to be highlighting it.”

When will Messi return? Will Miami count on him for the playoffs?

Regarding Lionel Messi, Martino responded without hesitation the doubts and concerns of the press, which are also passed on to the team’s fans: “In Leo’s case, as I said the other day, I can’t specify how long it will take. He’s already on the pitch, he’s already working with the physical trainers, he’s no longer in the medical team’s area, he’s already training with the ball and it’s just a matter of him starting to recover the physical form that any player loses when he’s out for five or six weeks.”

It felt good in Columbus and it felt good today, but afterwards it is difficult for the common denominator of the people to detach themselves from the result. We understand that it is good if we win and we understand that it is bad only if we lose.”

“I think the team did very well in both games. It is not normal that when you have [sic] “You can show that you have superiority for 70 minutes, but it is not normal for a team that has superiority over you to score three goals. I am happy when we have this need, because we also do it with Sergio (Busquets) who guarantees us understanding, order, and a clean start. It is not that we have to make changes, but with the same system we can modify even in the same match,” he concluded regarding the game patterns.
