Ultimately we have to look after our players: Tata Martino
Over the last few days, Lionel Messi and Inter Miami faced criticism as the Argentine talisman wasn't available for the game against Vancouver Whitecaps. Addressing Messi's absence, Inter Miami head coach Tata Martino said, “It must be stressed that he has played a lot of minutes this season, so we had to find a moment to give him a break and to rest him for a match. In this specific case, the trip to Vancouver made the most sense."
"We understand people’s frustrations, especially because of the desire these fans have to see these players. But as coaches, we have to make these decisions that are uncomfortable and that will frustrate people, but ultimately we have to look after our players and the team."
