“You can’t believe what a beautiful journey we’re on, after the first game everything went against us,” said the Aston Villa goalkeeper.
He highlighted Messi: “There are many coaches who say that Messi doesn’t run, but they all know that when he catches it, it makes a difference
The Argentinian goalkeeper Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez assured, after accessing the grand final, that Argentina is in a position to win the World Cup final in Qatar against any rival because they have been playing finals since the match against Mexico in the group stage, in which if they lost they were eliminated.
“You can’t believe the beautiful journey we’re on, after the first game everything turned against us, but we play with great teams and we’re up for more,” said the Aston Villa player.
“Now we have one game left, it’s a final. We have been playing finals since the match against Mexico, that if we lost we would go home. We suffer in every game, they score goals at the end of every game. Today we knew that if we kept the arc at zero we would pass,” he said.
The goal highlighted the figure of Lionel Messi: “There are many coaches who say that Messi doesn’t run, but they all know that when he catches it, it makes a difference. We are very proud to have him, it is an advantage”. But he did not want to make comparisons with Diego Maradona: “Let my father compare him, I was not born”.
Martinez affirmed that Argentina “represents South America” and said that “it is a pity that other South American nations do not go further.”
The goalkeeper pointed out that he has no preference between France or Morocco as a rival for the final.
