Martinez, who made his A-match debut late last year at the age of 29 after a long period of obscurity, quickly emerged as Argentina’s patron saint.
In last year’s ‘Copa America’ Colombia and semi-finals, he prevented three penalty shootouts like a god, leading him to the final and playing a decisive role in Messi’s first major championship in his life.
And at the Qatar World Cup, he served as a special helper.
In the penalty shootout in the quarterfinals, he blocked the shots of the Dutch kickers 1 and 2 one after another, becoming a hero in advancing to the semifinals, and flew again in the final.
In extra time in the second half of extra time with a score of 3-3, Muani’s decisive shot was blocked by stretching out his leg, leading to his own stage, the penalty shootout, and blocked the shot by France’s second kicker Comang with his body.
Kicker Chuameni’s shot went off the net after being discouraged by the save, and Martinez performed a joyful shoulder dance as if foreboding victory.
Martinez won the ‘Golden Glove’, the best goalkeeper award, for defending Argentina’s championship as the guardian of the penalty shootout.
