Sergio Aguero’s take on Argentinian star player Emiliano Martinez. For Argentina so far in the FIFA World Cup 2022, Emiliano Martinez has been unbeatable in goal. When La Albiceleste defeated the Netherlands in the quarterfinals, he was their hero. After 120 minutes, the score was 2-2 and the game was over. Martinez saved his team’s victory from the penalty spot by stopping Virgil van Dijk and Steven Berghuis.
Now, Sergio Aguero has praised the Aston Villa goalkeeper for his self-assurance. The former striker for Manchester City and Atletico Madrid also described Martinez’s unique qualities.
The retired striker stated, speaking on Star+, “What shocked us most about Dibu is that usually goalkeepers practice individually, are in their worlds, and each one has his own goalkeeper’s rule. It might be tough to gauge a goalkeeper’s personality, but with Dibu, we knew right away that he was insane, much like Mono (Germán) Burgos. A decent, humorous madman.”
He said, “He used to tackle, shout at you, and constantly tell you things. In the (penalty) area, he would yell, Come on, kick me, take it. What a crazy, he just arrived, we used to say. We realized he had faith in him at that point. But after what we have seen, he demonstrated it in the games.”
Lionel Messi and Argentina are just one victory away from greatness after defeating Croatia to advance to the 2022 FIFA World Cup final. From the penalty spot, Lionel Messi scored the first goal, and Julian Alvarez added an amazing second.
When he assisted Alvarez in the game’s 69th minute, Messi was at the top of his game. Before locating Alvarez inside the box, the Argentine captain stopped Josko Gvardiol dead in his tracks. The team led by Lionel Scaloni will play against the winner of the second semifinal match between France and Morocco.
