World champion football players from the Argentine National Team continue to talk about what happened in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but also revealing situations they experienced on the road to victory. This time it was Lisandro Martinez who spoke up to talk about various topics, including his teammate Wout Weghorst, better known as Messi's "dummy".
Apparently, this nickname now accompanies Weghorst at Manchester United, the team he joined in the last winter transfer window from Besiktas, because he shares a dressing room with Argentine Lisandro Martinez, who has nicknamed him 'Bobo'.
"We're teasing him all the time and he takes it well, sometimes I say 'good morning, bobo' to him, it's already like that and he takes it in a good way, he's a good guy, we get along really well," said 'Licha' in an interview with TyC Sports.
Martinez, in turn, recognized that football is "a way of life" for him, although he admitted that he tries to find "balance" when he's not on the field. "Trying to find balance is very important in football. We go through thousands of emotions, we live intensely, and when one is at home or at the club, we have to try to find that energetic balance."
He also referred to his time at the English club. "For me, it's a huge pride to come to the best league in the world, to play for Manchester United and for people to identify with me, show me their affection. For me, it's a huge pride and it's mutual affection. It's amazing that in this country they chant 'Argentinian, Argentinian,' it's an extra motivation. They love my style of play, always giving my all, apparently it resonates with them."
Good vibes in Manchester
What was chaos not long ago is now a joy at Old Trafford, and the fans can attest to this. A Manchester United that was in the news for internal conflicts and poor performances in key games is now rising.
Everything changed. It coincided with Cristiano Ronaldo's departure, as it was evident that he wasn't the same player since he returned to the club. However, the work done by Erik ten Hag has been improving.
To the point that in front of their own fans, the Manchester team hasn't lost since September of last year (a 1-0 defeat against Real Sociedad in the Europa League), and it's increasingly difficult to face them. They're still competing on three fronts, they won a domestic title after several years, and they want much more.
