After Atlanta United’s 2-1 loss to FC Dallas on April 20, Univision reporter Andrés Quiñones approached Gonzalo “Pity” Martínez inside Atlanta’s locker room, asking for an interview. Martínez hasn’t spoken to the local media very much since arriving in January, and that day was no different. When the player declined, Quiñones told a colleague within earshot of the former River Plate star that “they only talk when they win.”



That didn’t sit well with Martínez. He told Quiñones to show him some respect, according to the reporter.



“Justin (Veldhuis, Atlanta United’s team interpreter) told me that those that want to talk, talk. Those that don’t, don’t,” explained Martínez on Tuesday. “(Quiñones) tried to force me to talk and that’s not how it’s going to be.”
