Follow a productive 2019 season featuring 7 goals and 9 assists, Martinez and the Independence entered 2020 with high hopes. They even had a promising start, beating Sporting Kansas City 2 in their opening match. Then the world came to what felt like a screeching halt.
The Uruguayan attacker talks about how he got news of the shutdown.
The USL Championship (and virtually every other league) suspended play due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Martinez explains what his initial thoughts were and how he coped with life without match days.
