Honored this Thursday in Mar del Plata, his hometown, the goalkeeper of the Argentine world champions Emiliano Martinez stood out by sending a new banderilla to the Blues. This time, it was addressed to Aurélien Tchouaméni, author of the second missed penalty for the French in the World Cup final.
It makes you wonder if Emiliano Martinez is not happier to have beaten France than to have won the World Cup… Since the coronation of Argentina against the France team at the from an anthology final, the exuberant doorman of the Albiceleste multiplies the provocations, often in bad taste, with regard to the players of Didier Deschamps. If Kylian Mbappé is his favorite target, the Aston Villa player put a little layer on Aurélien Tchouaméni this Thursday, in his hometown of Mar del Plata.
“He got over it”
During the penalty shootout, Emiliano Martinez deliberately threw the ball away from the penalty spot when the Real Madrid midfielder was already in place in front of him. The Frenchman had not flinched. He went for the ball but missed his shot, not finding the target. The gesture of destabilization therefore paid off: “I knew the boy was going to be nervous. I tried to play him mentally by throwing the ball, talking to him and he shot to the side. He got over it” , he launched, laughing in front of the crowd of supporters. Or how to miss a new opportunity to be elegant in victory.
