‘Dibu’ Martínez chasing butterflies: Aston Villa teammates prank him in virtual reality

The World Cup is over and the players of the 32 teams that took part in Qatar 2022 are back with their respective clubs. Such is the case with Emiliano “Dibu” Martinezwhich was created by a classmate to catch butterflies.

The concentrations of the establishments are characterized, in their free time, by the jokes that the players play with each other. The English Aston Villa, with the presence of South Americans, is no exception, even if it is certain that coexistence there is colder and more distant.

The world champion goalkeeper, who had his golden match at the Lusail stadium against France on 18 December, had his moment of dispersion a day before the FA Cup match against Stevenage.

In the training center, he was seen through social networks of Diego Carlos, Brazilian defender of the “villain” team, has fun with a virtual reality device. The defender, who wasn’t part of Tité’s World Cup squad, decided to take advantage of the moment to laugh with and at the Argentine goalkeeper.

In what is the gym of the team that occupies the eleventh position in the Premier League, “Dibu” has begun to move to the rhythm of what virtual reality indicated to him.

They can be movements to work the archer’s reflexes or it can simply be a game. There is no clarity on the matter, but the former Sevilla player has turned the scene around for the second option.

Through his Instagram, with one of the thousand filters that the social network allows you to add to photos and videos, Diego Carlos added flying butterflies following the sudden movements of the one that emerged in Independiente.

One blue and the other pink, with an old disco song playing in the background, finish decorating a fun scene.

Sometimes it is said that such an archer “goes out to get butterflies” when unsuccessfully trying to collect a cross. Martínez proved that he did not belong to that herd, but Diego Carlos, laughing in his publication, wanted to make him belong.

Far from it, the 23-year-old Argentine was one of the key factors for Argentina to lift the Cup in Qatar after 36 years and now he can sit at the table with the most important in the history of Argentine football.
