Following the shockwaves generated by his explosive CBS interview after Manchester United’s 2-0 Champions League loss to Atlético Madrid, Lisandro Martínez has issued an official public statement.
While clarifying that his heated comments came from emotional frustration, the defender stopped short of issuing an apology. Instead, he doubled down on his call for higher standards and greater ambition across every level of the club.
On His Heated Outburst:
”After the match, I spoke out of anger and frustration at not getting the result we all wanted… My words reflect how I feel and how much I want to see this club competing for the biggest honours.”
”When I talk about wanting more, I’m talking about the ambition we must all have as part of this club… These are standards we must all hold ourselves to, starting with me.”
”I know that, first and foremost, it’s us, the players, who have to deliver, and I put myself at the front of that responsibility.”
”I believe in my teammates, our manager and everyone working to help this club move forward… My goal has been the same since day one, to win, to compete at the highest level and to give everything I have for this badge.”
