The Argentina national team was crowned world champion, after 36 years, in Qatar. Damian Emiliano I drew Martinez He was one of the team’s high points with his decisive saves in the penalty shoot-out, just like in the 2021 Copa América, and starred in a luxurious save in the final minutes of extra time that prevented France from winning.
The goalkeeper will forever keep the celebrations in the caravan on Tuesday and the welcome they gave him in his hometown. However, despite the happiness of the Argentine people for this historic conquest, on the other side of the Atlantic there are those who attack the man from Mar del Plata.
In France the celebrations of I drewthat after receiving the Golden glove For being the best goalkeeper in the World Cup, he made a particular gesture true to his cheeky style. The goalkeeper’s image quickly went viral on social media and this was not liked at all in the European country.
From the French Parliament, Charles Olviewho is also president of the organizing committee of the Olympic Games in Paris, He asked FIFA to take away the award from Mar del Plata for his gesture, which he considered obscene.
According to the deputy, the gesture of the I drew Martínez was intended for the French crowd watching the match at the Lusail Stadium in Doha, Qatar.
For the politician, the way the Albiceleste goalkeeper received the award”not a good image in football“. And he expressed himself: “That’s not sports. Do you realize the denigrated image? How are we going to show it as an example?”
Even if the gesture of I drew upon receipt of Golden glove Due to his great performance in the World Cup in Qatar 2022, he brought the trophy to his groin and made some gestures, you can understand that it is similar to what he did after receiving the same award after winning the Copa América 2021 and which has nothing particularly against the French public
The Mar del Plata goalkeeper, who is currently sought after by Europe’s big clubs, also had a string of unhappy songs for Mbappé during the celebration.
Nicolás Otamendi recorded and shared the celebrations of the Scaloneta players in the locker room on Instagram. In one of the songs sung when the players performed the “little train”, he was addressing the French striker. “A minute of silence… For Mbappé who is dead“, could be heard in the background. The one who carried the command voice was the I drew.
The final straw for the French was seeing an image of Martínez carrying a child with Mbappé’s face thrown by the public into the caravan on Tuesday. He could do it with that doll.
But in Europe there are also many examples of accusations against rivals after a sporting victory. It seems that when fun comes from across the ocean it is never welcome.
One can recall the case of the Spanish national team which after winning the final against Germany at Euro 2008 performed a “Conga” behind Bastian Schweinsteiger’s back while conducting interviews with the press.
And also the sad and famous Teutonic party after beating Argentina in the final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil to the cry of “This is how the gauchos walk, the gauchos walk like this…”, with some racist overtones. “It’s normal for athletes to be happy with victories,” Toni Kroos said at the time.
More complaints against Dibu
However, the French MP wasn’t the only one pointing at the I drew Martinez. Adel Ramithe world champion footballer with France in 2018 who was denounced by Pamela Anderson for physical assault, also launched harsh criticisms of the goalkeeper.
The Frenchman did not hesitate to cross paths with the Argentine on his social networks. “Emiliano Martínez is the biggest shit in the world of football. the most hated man”, the Troyes defender, the only outfield player not to add minutes to Russia 2018, wrote on his official Instagram account. Along with the text, he posted a photo of Dibu with his face on the verge of tears.
Immediately afterwards he uploaded an image of Yassine Bounou, the goalkeeper of the Moroccan national team, author of a great performance in Qatar, where he reached the semifinals. As he thought, the nicknamed Bono deserved the “real golden glove”.
Rami, who shared the French team in 2018 with the 7 of Paris Saint Germain, doubled the bet: “Mbappé has traumatized them so much that they celebrate the victory against our team more than their World Cup”.
Two days before the World Cup final, he had already expressed his negative point of view on those led by Lionel Scaloni: “I don’t like this Argentine team. In this World Cup they have given an image of a lot of aggression, nastiness and foul play“.
