Josef Martinez Is Having A Hard Time With His Career.

In a new year, under a new manager, with new players around him and a different tactical approach, Martinez has only two goals through six games.

Theres also the matter of learning how to play with another highly-talented South American superstar in Pity Martinez, who arrived in preseason from River Plate.

While Pity Martinez partially inhabits Almirons role, Atlantas other ex-River player, Leandro Gonzalez Pirez, said the swap is far from like-for-like.

Miguel and Pity are kind of different players, the center back said.

Pity is more a player with the ball.
