Gerardo Martino ignores him, but José Mourinho is impressed with Johan Vásquez

One of the things that Gerardo “Tata” Martino has been criticized the most is the lack of opportunities that he gives to young players, not caring if they play in Liga MX or in Europe, as he barely changes his lineup, even when it’s clear those players are not working.

The excuse “Tata” Martino used to avoid watching Liga MX games

One of the players that he didn’t use on the past FIFA World Cup Qualifiers was Johan Vásquez, who travelled all the way from Italy to Mexico just to be benched on two games and become a healthy scratch on the other, which made him leave El Tri camp mad with the Argentinian coach.

But this weekend, Vásquez decided to leave all that behind him and focused on the game where Genoa CFC received Roma, where he was a starter for the Rossoblu on the scoreless draw that earned him praise from José Mourinho, who currently is coaching Roma.

What did Mourinho say about Vásquez?

Johan Vásquez was the protagonist of one of the latest plays in the game, where Roma scored the goal that would have meant the victory for the Giallorossi, but a foul over Vásquez annulated the goal. Mourinho, although mad for the result, said Vásquez had a good game as he erased Rick Karsdrop on the pitch.
