Tata MARTINO spoke about the match against Bolivia, Venezuela, Lionel MESSI and more. Here’s what he had to say:
“Venezuela’s having a good Copa America and we have to focus. If Venezuela man marks MESSI, we’ll try to counter that by playing him as a center-forward. We knew that MESSI would play 45 minutes, he feels better and that’s good for him.”
“We had a better first half, after that, it was difficult to enter the area. In the case of the two number 9’s (Gonzalo HIGUAIN and Sergio AGUERO), they played together pretty well. I liked it more than TEVEZ and Gonzalo.”
“People payed to see MESSI and he’s used to that.”
“Nothing changes for us because of the eliminations to Brazil and Uruguay.”
“With the boys, we’re always looking to continue growing. What comes next is different.”
