Martinez: It's Impossible to Lose at Home in This Situation
Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez appeared in a press statement after the 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the 22nd round of the English Premier League.
The player spoke about returning to play in front of the United fans: "Unbelievable. Unbelievable to be here with the fans and with the team. We truly know how much we struggle during the season, but the only way is to face it here and show who we are."
He added: "Today's match was the best moment to do that. It wasn't just the players on the pitch, but the coaching staff and everyone were part of this."
He emphasized: "I think the most important thing Michael Carrick said was 'use the energy of the fans,' and today I think we did that. When we are together like this, it is impossible to lose at home."
He concluded: "When you play against this kind of players, the whole team defends. Not just one or two players. Today we defended very well, we were cohesive all the time. Then confidence comes to go into duels. Today you feel a different energy when you see the players' eyes. Today the team won, and that is the most important thing."
