Emiliano Martinez is still acting up. The Argentina goalkeeper this time attacked Aurélien Tchouaméni, the midfielder of the France team, for his missed penalty in the final of the 2022 World Cup.
He doesn’t let go. After his repeated escapades on Kylian Mbappé, Emiliano Martinez has found himself a new victim. The goalkeeper of Argentina, who became world champion 2022 last Sunday after a success in the final against France (3-3, 4-2 on pens), this time tackled Aurélien Tchouaméni. As part of his visit to Mar del Plata, his birthplace, to celebrate the coronation of Albiceleste by Lionel Scaloni, the last bastion of 30 years returned to the penalty missed by the Real Madrid midfielder during the penalty shootout. The least we can say is that the doorman of Aston Villa did not go there with the back of the spoon.
🧤 Dibu Martínez sobre Tchouameni, quien la tiró afuera
🗣️ “Cuando atajé el primer penal, siendo una final de Mundial, sabía que el siguiente iba a estar nervous. Así que le traté de jugar mentalmente hablándole, tirándole la pelota lejos… Y la tiró afuera, se cagó todo” pic.twitter.com/tsEajnvknr

“He screwed up”
Microphone in hand, Emiliano Martinez explained that he expected the native of Rouen to miss his attempt, after having stopped the shot from Kingsley Coman, the former resident of the Girondins de Bordeaux having actually not found frame and brought the 2018 world champions one step closer to defeat. “When I saved the first penalty I knew the other boy was going to be very nervous, I tried to mentally play throwing the ball to him, talking to him… And he kicked it out, he got everything crap.” The Argentinian goalkeeper definitely does not want to show class after the triumph of his team.
The incessant provocations of Emiliano Martinez have reacted to many players in French football, including Adil Rami, Eric Di Meco and Noël Le Graët. The president of the French Football Federation flew to the aid of Kylian Mbappé.
