Martinez also spoke about missing the 2018 FIFA World Cup:

“I was doing great with Racing but the one who decided was the coach and he decided not to call me up. I always worked and tried to give my best. I had meetings with the coach but he chose not to select me in the final 23 players. I continued. Today, I work to be able to continue to achieve the objectives I have ahead.”
