Emiliano Martínez put a brake on his activity at Aston Villa to review what was the conquest of the World Cup in Qatar. El Dibu touched on several topics related to the historic contest that marked his career and personal life, focusing on the final against France in which he established himself.

· JOKES ON MESSI AFTER EACH MATCH
“Collectively, many players individually rose to the occasion. Guys playing their first World Cup, including me. We knew how to take the pressure off one side and enjoy the World Cup. Obviously the 10 helped us in every game. He told him ‘stop winning the Man of the Match every game, leave something for the poor’. I think we got along very well. Hopefully it wasn’t his last World Cup. He had such a hard time winning titles with the National Team that now that we’ve won three finals in a row, why not keep trying. Once the door is opened for you, you have to continue walking through the tunnel. I think he has room for more”
The surprising decision that Aston Villa would have made with Dibu Martínez and the fortune that is in dance
The Premier League team would be willing to negotiate its star goalkeeper in the next transfer market: the reasons and how much it would cost
· THE IMPORTANCE OF ÁNGEL DI MARÍA
“Angelito did not play in the semis and in the final he was our best player. You need people who stand out at key moments. When Angelito left the field, I applauded him internally because I think he gave us the world final. He was the most decisive player in the finals. He did it at the Maracana, he did it at Wembley, where he played a great game. He was touched before the final with France and for the way he played that final, I will be eternally grateful to him ”
· ARE THE PLAYERS TALKING ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF SCALONI?
Unexpected criticism from the Aston Villa coach to Dibu Martínez for going to look for the tie at the last minute in the defeat against Arsenal
Unai Emery aimed at the Argentine goalkeeper, who went to look for a corner in favor that ended in the final 4-2 for the Gunners
“It was not discussed in the internal group. We only write to each other for birthdays, we make jokes in the group and that, but we didn’t talk. It’s going to happen”
· THE HISTORICAL SHORTCUT TO KOLO MUANI
“It was a very fast play. The goalkeeper takes it out, Ota (Otamendi) takes it out again, the central defender controls it and puts it back in the pot, as they would say in Argentina, and a perfect pass between Ota and Germán (Pezzella) just came out and I find Muani with the ball stinging inside the area in the middle of the arc and that he is going to break it for me. I try to attack him a bit diagonally to narrow the angle a bit and show him the near post a bit, I stretched out on that leg and that arm praying he would go there, I got my body so firm that the ball bounced really hard. They are very fast moments and sometimes you have a share of luck. We could have won it against it”
· WHAT HE THOUGHT WHEN THE FINAL AGAINST FRANCE FINISHED
“I didn’t blame myself that we could have won it in the 90s. It ended and I said ‘wow, what a football game.’ It was the best football game I played in my life”
· WHAT HE SAID TO MBAPPÉ AFTER THE FINAL OF THE WORLD
“Obviously he had played a great game, which was a source of pride for his entire country. Just that. Which I think he was”
· HIS GREATEST PRIDE SINCE HE WAS IN THE SELECTION
“Winning a trophy, The Best, is something individual. But achieving that many boys want to go to the goal is my greatest pride. I would put everything aside to bring joy to the boys and the people of Argentina. Today, knowing that they have you as an idol or that they want to go to the goal, makes me want to continue tackling and improve myself so that they have someone. Not only playing soccer is good for the boys, it gets them off drugs, off the streets, it gives them a path. The Argentine has a history as a soccer player, getting kids off the street who want to be professionals would also help the country”
THE ANXIETY TO PLAY AGAIN IN ARGENTINA
“I can’t wait to play there. We talk about how nice it’s going to be, everyone is looking forward to the list. Go there, play with Argentina… it’s going to be beautiful, I can’t wait to go. My first game back (at Aston Villa) with the medal and the glove, to be cheered by a whole stadium in England, it was beautiful. Having that affection from my club was very nice. But I would have liked the first game to be in Argentina with our people”
