The Mexican team in this year's World Cup group stage accidentally crashed out, ending the brilliant record of seven consecutive times to reach the round of 16. After the team returned home, thousands of fans flocked to the airport to greet them with "enthusiasm". However, the team's team leader, Martino, was the target of a lot of abuse from the fans. Although the legendary Argentine coach kept his temper and did not retaliate, the rest of the coaching team could not help but get into verbal fights with the agitated fans.
Brazil's GloboSport reports that angry Mexican fans roared at Martino: "Did you come to rob us?" , "The biggest robbery in Mexico!" , "Take your Funes Mori with you!" .
The striker that the fans are referring to, Funes Mori, was originally an Argentinean player who played in warm-up matches for Argentina before moving to Mexico last year. Martino chose this compatriot to play in the World Cup, but discarded Mexican star Chavia Boots Nandis, a decision that has long sparked discontent among fans. With the team's exit from the group stage, the two Argentine players have naturally become targets. Martino has already announced his resignation and will not have to bear such pressure anymore.
