Days after a new edition of Major League Soccer began in the United States, Gonzalo Martínez spoke of his present at the club, but mainly referred to his affection for River and made clear some issues related to his departure, mainly by leaving a fr. all the fans mourning: “I would stay and live in River.” On the one hand, it throbs what will be the definition of the Superleague, especially since on the next date it can be liquidated as long as Boca does not achieve a triumph and the “Millionaire” does. “I always look at it, talk to the kids and hopefully it will be defined all weekend so they can enjoy it with people,” he said in an interview at Fox Sports.” I would love to be in the sitting grandstand and see how the guys who play it excellent, ” added the “Pity”, who stressed that Marcelo Gallardo is fundamental to the process, but so do the players: “A lot of you have to see the coach. Many times you win something and relax, but the coach has to see why the players pass and the team continues to play the same or better. It’s always going to reinvent the way.”
Reviewing his best photos at the club since his departure, Martínez slipped a chicaa when he was asked for the photos of his career. “In River, thank God, it was my turn to make the goals easier: I had to score one penalty goal (to Gremio) and the other without the goalkeeper (to Boca in Madrid). The difficult ones we leave to Juanfer (Quintero) and the others,” he said with a laugh. Regarding his departure, the “Pity” highlighted several issues, mainly economic and family over sports. So, he leaves some phrases that give him to speak, especially because he has gone to an uncompetitive league in relation to what the player demonstrated in his years with the band. “I, for me, would be in River, if it was for wanting to keep winning things. For it’s the reality and this is short, it’s football and you don’t know what can happen tomorrow. I’m about to turn 27 and you’re crossed with a lot of things: family, tomorrow’s well-being. If it had been for me, I’d be in River still,” he said.
“People out there have a hard time understanding for one. Sometimes you have to say things to make everybody happy. I would stay and live in River, but Argentina is having a hard time, and in River I achieved things that I hadn’t imagined and I think much more I wouldn’t be able to achieve,” he added. Closing with the decision of his departure to Atlanta (which at the time was MLS champion), he added: “I thought of me because my happiness was passing elsewhere, I made that decision and I’m very calm here, hoping that I would do very well to see if we can migrate elsewhere.” “This pass market had offers from Mexico and Europe, but it wasn’t what the club expected to receive. All this time they were talking and they told me that they needed me yes or yes,” he said of his future, where he has the illusion of playing on the Old Continent. Still, he admits he’s in another football. “To the demand of Argentine football is impossible. Go from 100% pressure to -10,” he said.
