The Spanish tactician feels the players are being put at risk without a significant amount of rest.
"Extremely difficult, extremely physical, also for the health of the players, I already said, for me what happened today cannot happen if you want to be a top league, to play this game with no time to rest, no time to train," Martin told SuperSport after the game.
"With players getting injured after 15 minutes, 35 minutes, you're putting risk on their careers and I think it's a shame.
"I have to say my team is a team of warriors what they did today, fighting again until the end, with no energy, no preparation and getting one point, it's fantastic.
"I know we couldn't give our fans, the country, the show we would have liked to give them because of the lack of preparation and the lack of quality in this situation but this is what it is.
"We have more injuries now, we have players that are putting risk on their careers and it's a pity for the show and it's a pity for football," he said.
