Matchday Motivation: Seeking revenge on D.C. United

Related Topics: D.C. United

In famous sports movies before the huge game a coach is expected to give a huge motivational speech to get their team ready. When the Miami Sharks were down big in the playoffs, Al Pacino recited the greatest lines ever written in the genre. Team USA were massive underdogs against Iceland, but Emilio Estevez reminded them that Ducks fly together. Tata Martino has prepared a similar speech ahead of the crucial away match against D.C. United. He was kind enough to send me an advanced copy. Unfortunately it’s all in Spanish. So, I’m just going to guess at what it all means.
