Emiliano Martínez make a review on world won the Argentina almost a year ago in a special on the Star+ platform. The goalkeeper, remembered the chance he took Chief Muani in the last minute and for his stoppage in penalty shoot-outs explains some interesting situations.
Chat during break time with Romero
Beyond the epic moments we all remember, he confessed to a locker room situation with ‘Cutie’ Romero: ”I always have to tell him to stop coming in so hard. In the end I told him at half-time: “They sent you off and at the end of the game I will destroy you.” In reference to a tackle with two legs in front he made on Mbappe, which could change the outcome if he was expelled. ”That’s how he plays, at the limit of the red”.
On Tchouaméni’s punishment: ”He is dead”
”Look at this boy’s face, tell him he’s not nervous, I saw in the arch that he was dead. And I thought that if I made a mistake, they would be half a step and we would be champions. And he looked up, looking at the people, the boy was very nervous, and I practiced it with my psychologist, if I could stop one, I would make life impossible for the next one. And if it went in the goal, I saved it, it was mine, I shot it well, if I touched it, I took it out. “That is the final, you have to use all the tools to win.”
Self-criticism in the final against France:
“I think in that game I didn’t play well. They kicked me three times and with three goals. Okay, there are two penalties. One of the Mbappe I was in a bad position and I grabbed him and he hit me. It’s like I didn’t survive that final very well.”
