Tata Martino's words about after the two bad friendlies for Messi's Inter Miami

There was a lot of hype in the world to see the new Inter Miami. After the arrival of Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets last year, the team gave a notable increase in quality, but it was not enough to qualify for the Major League Soccer playoffs.. Now, with the arrival of Luis Suarez, there is hope that that will change.

Inter Miami has already debuted this preseason, with two friendly matches, one in El Salvador, which ended in a 0-0 draw, and the second in the United States, which ended in a disappointing 1-0 defeat against FC Dallas.

Although they are only friendlies, the matches help Inter Miami gain strength and chemistry, but the game does not invite optimism. Faced with criticism, Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, the coach of the Florida club, has spoken to the media.

“We arrived in June last year in a situation where the team was in a rather uncomfortable part of the table. We had the chance to win a first tournament straight away, but we never gave up the idea of working on the team. “We still need to accelerate a bit more to really be competitive.”

What else did Tata Martino say?

“It's always better to win if you can, but it's not the priority. It's about coming out of a demanding season a little at a time. We are looking for a tune-up. There are other objectives that go beyond the result.”
