F-f-Lisandro, a tough result. [0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=3) Fi-first of all, how do you sum up the performance? [0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=6) Really poor. Really poor. I have to control myself a lot, but it's, uh, sometimes it's a reflection of the, of the mirror of how is our, our club at the moment, you know? [0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=22) Uh, we did an, a fantastic season last season, and now we, we expect more from, from the top, from up, you know? [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=29) To bring more, more player to, uh, to compete, uh, because, uh, many, many teams, uh, bring many players as well, and today also Atlético, they have an amazing team. [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=42) Uh, and they, they deserve to win today. [0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=44) So this is not a Champions League quality squad, Manchester United have? [0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=49) I expect more. Honestly, I expect more, uh- From, from, you expect- From everyone. From everyone ... you, but what you're saying is you expected more investment in the squad- Yeah ... in the summer? [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=57) Yeah, 100%. Our, uh ... I expect more from our technical director. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=63) Uh, I will have to be honest, you know? And also, uh, uh- That's fair ... as the players, we have to, to do more, but, uh, it's also important when you make an, a, an, a strong squad to, to be ready to this kind of, uh, night. [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=80) In which areas? In defense? In attack? Because obviously there was money invested in midfield. [1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=86) Uh, in general. In general. I think we, last season we did everything. [1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=89) We create a base to, to build an, a, an amazing team. [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=93) But, uh, this is something to be honest, uh, and to, and to prove something, you know? [1:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=98) Um, yeah, it's, uh, it's annoying, disappointing coming here and, and not seeing my team trying to, to get an amazing result here is, uh, disappointing. [1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=111) The manager of course gets a lot of the criticism. [1:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=114) Is, is the problem the manager wasn't backed enough in the summer in terms of investment? [1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=119) I don't think so. I don't think so. He does, uh, he does his best, but, uh, every season is different. [2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=126) You can't, uh, uh, you can't stay with, uh, what you did, uh, last season. [2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=132) The teams know, knows you, how you play. [2:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=134) The teams knows every details, you know? And, and if you don't change, next season is, it's a big problem. [2:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=142) Often in this situation it's the manager who is the one that is, is removed. You can't necessarily go upwards. [2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=149) Yeah, you start, you start changing, changing, changing manager and ... But what about, uh, other areas? [2:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=157) I can't, I can't say more. No, we, we, uh, we appreciate you being so frank tonight. [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=162) Of course it's two wins from nine- Because to- also tonight is, it's easy to say the coach, it's easy to say the, the, the players, but also we have to see others, other areas. Huh? [2:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AYmeAqcngb7A/en/lisandro-mart%C3%ADnez-criticizes-man-united-squad-investment-after-atl%C3%A9tico-defeat?t=174) Thank you very much.
