"This is how we Argentinians are", Lisandro Martinez: Football is everything, even as a child I used to fight!

2023-02-25 13:30:42, Sport CNA

One of Manchester United's weak points in recent years has been the defensive department. The "Red Devils" suffered a lot, but with the arrival of Rafael Varane and Lisandro Martinez last summer from Ajax, the situation changed and the defense became one of the strong points for coach Erik ten Hag's team.

But if Varane had proven himself before with Real Madrid and the French national team, Martinez was still a question mark. However, despite being in his first season in the Premier League, the Argentinian has adapted straight away while also showing strong athleticism every time the defender steps onto the pitch. Recently, the 25-year-old says that football is everything for him and that it is in the nature of Argentines to play hard with their opponents.

"It is difficult for me to stay on the field, sometimes I want to "kill" the opponent. But that's how Argentinians are, they are very passionate about football. For us, football is everything and that's why we give our best. Even when I was a child I used to get into fights and every time I lost I would start crying. It's something we have in our blood and in our hearts, so we can't change it.

The final with Newcastle? The coach prepares all the matches as finals and that will be the case this time as well. The team will be ready for Wembley", said Martinez.
