Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba are at Inter Miami because Tata Martino is there, Jim Curtin has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, people should stop forgetting that Tata Martino was the first piece that Inter Miami took care of for the project to work, and without him, some players would have ignored the club.
Jim added that Martino made the first move in the entire project that really transformed the MLS.
His words, “Sometimes people forget, he was the first piece. I think Messi comes because Tata’s there. Busquets comes because Tata’s there. And Alba, as well. He was the first move in this whole thing that really transformed the club.”
“He’s the leader, an incredible coach, an incredible person. When you think of Tata, you can see how his players respond and react to him almost like a father figure who is an incredible soccer mind, as well.”
WOW.
