Tata Martino analyses Inter Miami’s Leagues Cup win over FC Dallas
Martino spoke about his Inter Miami after their win in Texas.
Inter Miami are through to the last eight of the Leagues Cup, however, head coach Tata Martino, was not entirely satisfied with his side’s performance.
Martino appeared before the media to analyse the crazy contest in Texas. “I value the team’s character: never give up”, was the first thing the former FC Barcelona coach said.
He discussed the importance of having Lionel Messi in his squad and explained the role he played in the victory over FC Dallas. “We can’t ignore the fact that we have the best player in the world. We have to try to take advantage of him by playing better,” he added.
But he is also aware that it will take time to shape an idea: “You don’t shape the team with just 15 days of work”.
Martino knows that the quality and experience provided by the Argentina captain, as well as Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, make the team from Florida unpredictable. “When we have our moments, we can be lethal in front of goal,” he said.
Despite another Miami win, Martino expressed his concern with some of the mistakes made at Toyota Stadium on Sunday. “We are very happy to have advanced after being down 4-2 after 80 minutes, but that doesn’t mean we can overlook all the things we need to improve,” continued Martino.
“Inter Miami improved during the last 30 minutes. In other games, we had defensive solidity, which we may not have shown today, but that is also a strength of the opposing team,” he concluded.
