Portrait of Gerardo "Tata" Martino

He requires pressing the opponent to recover the ball

Prefer 4-3-3 system, but is not a rigid coach

He has a motivational speech to the students

He is obsessed with details

Disciple of Bielsa, the former coach of Bilbao

The team is more important than the individualities

Try to solve the problem of the team: air game

He wants the goalkeeper to kick the ball with both feet and a retired striker

Humility and simplicity are team values.
