There was a major concern about where the Atlanta United offense would come from after Josef Martinez was lost to injury in the season opener.

The team's performance in the MLS Is Back Tournament in Orlando certainly didn't answer any of those questions as they were unable to score a single goal in the three matches they played.

After the team dismissed Frank de Boer and brought on Stephen Glass, they faced Nashville and Pity Martinez notched his first two-goal game for United.

Atlanta United Manager Stephen Glass joined John and Hugh on Friday before hosting Orlando and discussed the importance of getting Pity in position to be that threat the team needs.

"I went back and watched a lot of his games from River Plate, him knowing that we're trying to put him in the position that he can do the most danger, he looked comfortable and did an unbelievable amount of work for the team," details Stephen Glass. "As long as the whole team are thrown in the right direction it sets up Pity to be the star, he has that talent and he showed it."
