Adrián Marín

I mean, I think, uh, we need to do a better job, have people, you know, well-vetted.

Parent Adrian Marin said he was shocked to hear of-

Oh, this is John Leguizamo

...

No offense to, you know, Zach Taifi, who's been trying to fill in there.

Sorry, Adrian Marin.

I think you're way down on the depth chart at this point.

But I think it's Vino's spot to lose at this point.

And again, that's unfortunate.

Now, Marin, I do feel what we paid for him was too much.

And I think that we saw the big chunk of money being taken out of the salary cap this year, and then he's not panning out at all.

And when it comes to – what was the other player you mentioned? Atuesta.

Orlando fans, they know their ball.

A lot of the fans do.

And so, I mean, I think a lot of fans saw four games – five games of Adrian Marin, and then people were like, yeah, this guy's not going to win.

Well, and I'll say this.

And again, just like Ivan Angulo, just like many other players, a signing could go both ways.

It's either could go, and we were talking about it before coming in, it could go into being a bust signing, like maybe a Vanderwater or like maybe a, I don't know, a lot of people may want to say that Adrian Marin is a bust, right? And probably, right? Obviously, he's not going to be remembered as much like an Emmanuel Mas.

It could be something like Emmanuel Mas.

Or it could be somebody that came through the back door like Ivan Angulo with not a lot of ups and downs.

So, so it's, it's, it's probably, you know, the best comparison you can make.

So from my understanding is, I mean, if we, if we, if we compare this guy, you know, just for the common for, for everybody that's listening and watching, um, You get your names, right? Who has played in Orlando on that position before, and how can he compare to those guys? So I'm going to give you a little bit of a breakdown that I wrote down here.

So the main idea of what I'm about to say is that he is – he is the typical brazilian fullback so he's a typical brazilian left back essentially so he's uh he comfortable on the ball eager to join the attack and uh physically robust which is a little different when we talk about the current standard of adrian marin He comes with this, he came with a European pedigree and the whole technically sound and polished and things like that.

But I think that for the MLS system, we've noticed that His injuries, his pace, it's not with the standard of MLS at the moment.

But, uh, defensively, Orlando was caught, um, in a number of ways, uh, not doing defensive things.

I mean, Adrian Marin was, uh, nominally in somewhat close to position, but he was watching the ball on the other side of the field rather than the two guys running past him.

Uh, one of which is Robert Lewandowski, who you might want to track.

I don't...

Evidently.

So that's where, that's where the failing was.

But, uh, Adrian Marin allowed a cross behind him to Lewandowski.

Lewandowski sent it back across the box.

Then, obviously, in a little bit, we'll play Columbus for the U.S. Open Cup semifinal.

time is running out there is no time left uh and i and i hate to say and i hate to say it this way but the defensive performance that we got yesterday luis was embarrassing there's no other word for it at this point than that robin johnson looks slow he made a boneheaded tackle that gave chicago a free penalty which you knew lewandowski was going to finish right david breccolo is responsible for the first goal makes up for it by scoring a goal of his own but he's still responsible for the first goal griffin dorsey doesn't defend basically the entire game except for small patches where he defends and i've been on this program a ton saying griffin dorsey is not a defender because he's not a defender And on top of all of it, this team is forced to play Adrian Marin because there is no other left back on the roster, right? Because Bernardo Ryan is hurt now.

And Tahiri Brown was shipped out, which we'll talk about the youth later.

So they play Marin, who doesn't do well and gets beat still and everything else.

So, you know, again, we're going to be discussing, you know, what happened.

And to me, I wholeheartedly agree with, with the opinion of David in regards to, you know, look, it was a catastrophic start, dude.

Like Adrian Marin just lost track of Lewa and the opening five minutes, it was just a terrible tone from the start.

And Robin Jensen, I mean, It seemed that Lewandowski showed his pedigree as a striker.
