Gerardo Martino

To speak about the criticism of Messi is to give strength to something that does not deserve any type of analysis. ”

When you have the chance to finish off your opponent, you must do it. You shouldn't give them chances to come back. ”

We have ways to confront the attention that Messi gets. Some teams mark him personally; others get physical and surround him with players. ”

Argentina against Brazil is the most important derby between national teams. ”

If you analyze the German league, the Spanish league, the Italian league, there are two or three teams that stand out above the rest, and the other teams have a regular level. ”

Really, all coaches are accustomed to coaching... normal players. ”

All I learned in Barcelona was about being surrounded by stars, by the best in the world. ”

I'm very demanding of myself. ”

I've seen teams where there are bad relationships in the locker room, but they can leave that aside and win on the field. For me, I'm not satisfied with any part of that. ”

I'm leaving Atlanta the same way I arrived, with great affection for the fans and a mutual respect. ”
