Martinez would obtain extra help from teammates Leandro Paredes and German Pezzella, with Paredes saying: ‘Now say it without crying Rami and Pezzella adding, ‘Get out of here,’ in reference to captain Lionel Messi’s phrases to Netherlands’s Wout Weghorst after the quarterfinal conflict between the 2 groups.
Just a few days in the past, Scottish participant Graeme Souness criticized Martinez’s gesture after he acquired the Golden Glove trophy. The Argentine keeper positioned the trophy, an enormous gold hand, to his groin earlier than emphatically waving it up above his head throughout the post-match celebrations.
“I can accept those antics, up to a point. But what we should be talking more about is the rude gesture he made after collecting his trophy for best goalkeeper of the tournament. Are there really people who find something like that funny? Martinez embarrassed himself and embarrassed his country. He looked like a vulgar clown. If that’s what he wants to be remembered for, god help us all,” he mentioned.
“This in a way detracts from Argentina’s success,” mentioned Patrick Vieira, who gained the 1998 World Cup with France and is the supervisor of Crystal Palace. “I don’t think they really needed that. You sometimes can’t control people’s emotional decisions. But that was a stupid decision, I think, from Martinez to do that. I was really disappointed,” he had added.
