A few days ago, Argentina won the World Cup after defeating France. But that mood has not yet ended. The country of Latin America is floating in the tide of happiness. From Lionel Mesirb Lucille’s dressing room to the locker room, the celebration didn’t stop anywhere. Lionel Messi joined the festival with the supporters even back in his country. A player came under criticism there.
People flocked to the streets all over Argentina to celebrate the World Cup victory. Buenos Aires, the country’s capital, has become a sea of people. The players joined the celebration with the supporters with the golden trophy. Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is seen riding in an open-top bus with a doll in the likeness of French forward Kylian Mbappe.
The picture and video of him taunting the opponent’s player have gone viral on social media. As soon as the matter spread, the goalkeeper who got the Golden Gloves of this World Cup came under severe criticism. According to netizens, Martinez’s actions are disrespectful. Where the jersey change is done to show respect to the opposing player, the opposite is true.
However, Martinez has mocked Mbappe before. As Messi danced and sang in Lucille’s dressing room after winning the title, Martinez suddenly observed a minute’s silence for the French star. Criticism started from then. However, in this World Cup, Mbappe hit Martinez with four shots, including a penalty. One of which he could not prevent.
However, the Argentine fans themselves are speaking for Martinez. They show the reason for mocking Mbappe, the incident of mocking Messi after France won the championship in 2018. Such was the case that the French, upon returning home, dragged Messi away as they celebrated in song. They say little N’Golo Kante has blocked football’s greatest magician. Many of the football analysts say that the Argentinian goalkeeper is repaying so far.
