The “Tata Manual” followed
Territory with lice.- After Costa Rica’s elimination from the World Cup, Miguel “Piojo” Herrera rejected having followed the “Tata” Martino manual to lead the Costa Rican National Team.
“No, no, no! How do you believe? I did not use the Tata Method. “Mine is more artisanal, more handmade, with courage, sweat and shouting at the referees to scare them,” explained the Louse, visibly indignant at the comparisons.
“In 23 years I had not had a failure like this” 🗣️⚽🇨🇷

Piojo Herrera achieved the feat
Despite the clarification from the now former Costa Rican coach, Costa Rican fans have launched a theory in which they accuse the Mexican helmsman of having applied Martino’s manual “by copy”, which led them to the elimination disaster.
“I don’t even know that manual! Besides, if I had infiltrated, we would have lost uglier“, the former Atlante player grumbled temperately.
The Costa Rican Federation, for its part, announced that it will do an internal investigation to determine if there really were Tata-style tactics or if the team simply had a bad day… followed by another bad day… and closed the tie with the worst day of all.
Meanwhile, in Mexico, some fans have remembered the glory days with Tata Martino at the head of the National Team, and have begun to demand that the Federation, from now on, only hire Argentine technicians to direct the Tricolor, since that strategy always has given glorious results.
And in case you didn’t see it: Elektra employees wanted to collect “the Chinese way” a customer’s debt with a motorcycle.
