What did Tata Martino say about a possible eleven against Poland?
Mexico will play Poland in their first match of the competition, hoping to solidify a spot in the next round
A few days prior to the start of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Gerardo Martino, coach of the Mexican National Team, stated that he already has in mind the lineup with which he will face Poland on November 22nd in what will be the Tri’s championship debut, to which ‘Tata’ arrives excited after he believes his team had a footballing awakening in the last preparation matches.
“Having the certainty of the players I am going to have, that is a concern, not only those who are in doubt, but also having them with me, knowing that they are fine, that they are going to be healthy. I have the eleven and I What I need is for the interpreters to be in the best possible way and that is what we lack, it is the same thing that any coach would lack. In principle, the idea of the team that we are going to have on the field, I already have it,” said Tata’ Martino exclusively for Star+’s First Person.
A new national team ready for the World Cup
The Argentine coach considers that the management he has had with Mexico towards Qatar 2022 should be as it happened since he does not conceive that a coach of any team does not have shocks throughout his process, in addition to admitting that he experienced his worst moments in the qualifiers, especially the losses against Canada and the United States.
“Against Ecuador, against Paraguay, against Peru and against Colombia, I did not see the qualifying team again, slow, predictable, they even seemed determined, knowing that at any moment they could win the game, putting the result at risk. The possibilities are greater. Going to compete expecting a miracle is very difficult, going to compete knowing that there is a level that is recovered with a group that knows where it is going, with committed players, there is no excuse.” He continued.
El Tata believes that Mexican football is in good hands
‘Tata’ Martino affirmed that he would have liked to do more for Mexican soccer, but he does not stay with that since he trusts that his ideas will end with the help of Yon de Luisa and Jaime Ordiales.
