Emiliano Martinez was one of the heroes of the Argentina national team at this year’s World Cup. Thanks to his interventions, “Albicelestes” won the gold medal, and the goalkeeper was chosen the best player in his field at the tournament. But unfortunately, he did not allow himself to be remembered only for that.
Former world champion disappointed with Martinez’s behavior
The Aston Villa player has many sins on his conscience. . However, the cup of bitterness was overflowing with his behavior at the festival in Buenos Aires, where he paraded with a doll with a photo of Kylian Mbappe’s face glued on.
The conversation with the Argentine has already been announced by his club coach, Unai Emery, but Patrick Vieira also spoke on the matter. The Frenchman is the 1998 world champion and has been working as England’s Crystal Palace coach since July last year. “Some of the photos of the Argentine goalkeeper that I have seen detract from the success of the entire national team,” he said.
Vieira accused the newly minted world champion of lack of class. “I don’t think the Argentines need that kind of behavior. Sometimes you can’t control other people’s emotional decisions. Martinez did a stupid thing. I was really disappointed by that,” admitted the London club coach.
