Dressing-room turmoil: most players agree with Martínez's criticism of recruitment, and the club correspondent says the squad is now split into two camps.更衣室震荡:多数球员认同利马对引援的不满,跟队称队内已分两派
A Roundtable journalist reports that most players in the squad agree with Martínez's view, and some core players have felt this way since the start of the season. The Manchester Evening News correspondent, however, has learned that the division is clear — some senior players believe the performance against Atlético Madrid was not bad, and that Martínez has amplified the media storm.
Roundtable 记者称队内大多数球员认同利马观点、部分核心自赛季初即如此;MEN 跟队则了解到分歧明显——有资深球员认为对马竞踢得不差,利马放大了舆论风波。
According to an exclusive report by Roundtable journalist SullyTalkz, Lisandro Martínez's scathing criticism of Manchester United's hierarchy has caused a dressing-room shock. With the team's results in a disastrous slump, head coach Michael Carrick is trying to calm the growing anger inside the camp. Since the 2-0 defeat at Hull City on the opening day of the Premier League season, Manchester United's campaign has gone steadily downhill. After losing four of their first nine matches in all competitions, the 2-0 away defeat to Atlético Madrid directly triggered a series of explosive comments from the Argentine defender.
Speaking to Amazon Prime after the match, Martínez openly pointed the finger at technical director Jason Wilcox and the club hierarchy, saying that insufficient summer recruitment was a major reason for the team's struggles. Tijjani Tillmann declined to comment when asked about the matter, while Carrick said he would not speak on it until he had watched the interview. However, Roundtable understands that most players in the dressing room agree with Martínez's view, and that some core Manchester United players have held this belief since the start of the season — they feel the hierarchy failed to give Carrick enough resources and could not build on the team's third-place finish last season. It is understood that morale inside the club is currently very low.
据 Roundtable 记者 SullyTalkz 独家报道,利桑德罗·马丁内斯对曼联高层的严厉批评引发了更衣室的震荡。在球队战绩灾难性滑坡之际,主教练迈克尔·卡里克正努力平息内部日益高涨的愤怒情绪。自英超首轮 0-2 不敌赫尔城以来,曼联的赛季表现一路走低;各项赛事前 9 场比赛输掉 4 场后,客场 0-2 负于马德里竞技直接引爆了这名阿根廷后卫的一系列重磅言论。
在赛后接受 Amazon Prime 的采访时,马丁内斯公开将矛头指向技术总监杰森·威尔科克斯及俱乐部高层,指出夏窗引援投入不足是球队陷入困境的重要原因。蒂莱曼斯被问及此事时拒绝发表评论,卡里克则表示看完采访视频前不会置喙。然而据 Roundtable 了解,更衣室内大多数球员都认同马丁内斯的观点,并且自赛季初以来,曼联部分核心球员就一直有这种想法——他们认为高层未能给卡里克提供足够的资源,也无法在球队上赛季获得第三名的基础上更进一步。据悉,目前俱乐部内部的士气非常低落。
