“Shaggy” Martínez will reunite with his former team and, although he appreciated the support they gave, he doesn’t care about him
Defender Cruz Azul, José Joaquín Martínez. He assured that he does not like America, a club where he was trained as a footballer and which offered him the opportunity to make his debut in the First Division.
Ahead of the stellar match on the 15th of Guard1anes 2021 between Águilas and Cementeros, El ‘Shaggy’ said in an interview with ESPN that he is grateful to the Azulcrema institution, but his commitment and affection belong exclusively to La Maquina.
“Dear no more, thank you, but I am a person who tries to see the positive side of everyone and with the clubs I played with, that I had the privilege and the honor of wearing the shirt of four or five clubs, I am grateful to all. Affection and love only for the current one, which is the one I defend 100% today “, he said.
As for America vs. Cruz Azul, originally from Mexico City, said that he instills in the youth categories that the “Classics” play in a more intense way than the rest of the matches and that the priority is to get the victory regardless of the form of the game.
“From the basic forces and that is a child, he knows that there are games that you have to win yes or yes; it is learned over time that you have to put everything, run, sweep, fight with each ball as if it were the last, because any ball can be used to score a goal or vice versa, so as to score a goal, then everything is learned as you make your way in football and nowadays it is known that the Classics are won, either by playing well or playing poorly, but you have to win.
“We know it will be an intense match and at the end of the day we are working to win, obviously there are situations where the teacher (Juan Reynoso) asks us to work every day,” Martinez said of the clash against the Eagles.
Cruz Azul is at the top of the MX League with 36 points, but America would take the lead if they won at the Azteca Stadium. “Young Classic” is scheduled for Saturday at 21:00 in Mexico City.
