Lots of Player Rotation
Martinez understands that his team lost badly against Mali at that time. Because he said he didn’t field Ecuador’s best composition in that match.
“First of all we have to remember that Mali is a great team. They are a team that will compete for the World Cup title this time,” continued Martinez.
