hard Mexico’s loss to Argentina at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar continues to raise dust and scathing criticism of Gerardo “Tata” Martino’s already questioned project. On this occasion, the journalist Alvaro Morales the one who exploded and sent some strong words to the El Tri coach.
From Qatar, like the rest of his ESPN colleagues mobilized to cover the World Cup, Alvarito accused Martino of “tactical implementation of the game.” and that because of his nationality (Argentina), he wanted Albicelesta to win the game, not the team he manages and “pays him almost $3 million a year.”
“I told you, (that) Gerardo ‘El Tata’ Martino played the game tactically… What did we expect if we had a Trojan horse at home?”

At the table of the Futbol Picante program, Morales also assured that Tata “did absolutely nothing” for El Tri to secure a win over Argentina, who were also in dire need of a win after their unexpected failure on their first date with Saudi Arabia.
Even the Mexican fans who came to the Lusail stadium had the hope of getting a good result after the good football shown on the first date against Poland, despite the fact that they did not win and did not score a goal.
Regarding the latter, the Mexican communicator was categorical: “Today the Mexican fans who made the effort to come here are leaving disappointed.”.
With a high tone of impotence, almost screaming, Alvaro Morales assured ESPN that Tata Martino “put the game on a silver platter” for Argentina to surpass Mexico.
The match meant the El Tri had to risk everything on their last date if they wanted to advance to the next round of the World Cup, the Round of 16, though there should be interesting results and the conditions that put it on the brink of liquidation.
