There are plenty of unique superstitions in the world of professional soccer.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one involving the location of a reporter in a press conference, however.
Atlanta United head coach Tata Martino refused to answer a question from Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Doug Roberson after his club’s 3-3 draw against Orlando on Saturday until Roberson moved into his usual spot in the media room.
I’m guessing Roberson will be in his Tata-approved seat from the start of his next press conference following Atlanta’s home match against the LA Galaxy on Wednesday night (7 pm ET | ESPN2, ESPN Deportes in the US; MLS LIVE in Canada).
