A recording of Monterrey assistant head coach Nico Sánchez speaking out about the conflict with Inter Miami striker Lionel Messi after the match between the teams has been leaked.
The Guardian quoted Sanchez as saying in an audio recording published by Fox Sports:
The dwarf was possessed, he had the face of the devil. He put his fist next to my face and says: 'Who do you think you are?'. But because I never answered back, it made things worse. And Tata Martino, I had him in front of me telling me: 'Fool, you going to cry?'. All those videos, they probably erased them all because it leaves them looking bad. What they did was really serious.
Nico Sánchez
The incident happened after the first match of the CONCACAF Champions Cup, in which the American club won 2-1. The return game will be held in Mexico on April 11.
It should be noted that after the recording leaked, the player has already apologized to Gerardo Martino in a video published on his page, but never mentioned Messi's name in it.
