Santiago Solari claimed that Club America is the largest club in Mexico and received unexpected criticism from a member of the press in the Aztec country.
Santiago Solari’s interview on El Larguero, Spain’s program, where he left a series of statements that caught the attention of members of the press in Mexico and generated the anger of one of the best known journalists.
At first, the Argentine strategist defended his workplace in which he seems to have taken affection and in which he surprised fans by referring to the azulcrema set as the “biggest”.
“There are other big, winning clubs in Mexico, but America takes the covers, takes away the TV shows, the opinions, and it’s all of them,” the former Real Madrid coach assured.
He even decided to make a comparison with the meringue group: “What Madrid has in particular with the other teams is that it is globally, it surpasses everything that is Spain and Europe, questions in a lost town of Asia and know Real Madrid.America does not have this global level of Real Madrid, but at the Latin American level and of course Mexico is a continent, we must multiply the population of Spain by four.That is why America has this stage so mythical, the Aztec, and that is why it is very difficult to work in the cñub, to walk calmly down the street, it is very popular “.
Faced with this situation, ESPN journalist David Faitelson made clear his displeasure at the statement with a harsh tweet through his personal profile: “Santiago Solari says in Spain that he directs the” more great “from Mexico. Yes, that’s fine, I’m almost sure Ronald Koeman would say the same if we asked him here:” I’m heading to the ‘biggest’ in Spain. “
For his part, Santiago Solari is preparing to line up the starting team in the match for the ninth day of the 2021 Opening Tournament tonight against Mazatlán to reaffirm their leadership in the standings.
