In the days leading up to the kick-off of the 2024 MLS season, Inter Miami boss Tata Martino has spoken to the media and the Argentine tactician addressed some important issues surrounding the club, as well as the Copa América and the 2024 Olympic Games.
During the summer, the Fort Lauderdale club will see a number of players leave for international tournaments, with the possibility of Lionel Messi at Paris 2024 causing a lot of interest, but this situation also intersects with the World Cup winner playing at the Copa América in the United States.
Gerardo 'Tata' Martino señaló que Diego Gómez no podrá disputar la Copa América USA y los Juegos Olímpicos de París. Deberá elegir por una de las competencias."No tengo ningún problema; pero elijan, solo una. No puede pasarse dos meses". pic.twitter.com/8SXAqNZwAT

Martino’s stance
Martino was questioned about the situation of Diego Gómez, who has been ley in the South American Pre-Olympics with Paraguay and also has the option to play both competitions, so Martino had to be clear about what would come for the young Paraguayan and threw a hint about what could happen with Messi and Argentina.
“Diego Gómez has the Copa América and the Olympic Games,” Martino said. “Luckily I have many friends and I spoke with them to tell them that I have no problem. I have no problem, they choose, but only one (tournament). You can’t spend two months away.
