Emiliano Martinez 'Dibu' is one of the most famous goalkeepers in the world, and it is largely thanks to his great work in the Copa America and the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Dibu is an expert in stopping penalties, however the FIFA plans to deal a low blow.

Almost in a short span of two or three years, Emiliano Dibu Martinez has become an idol in Argentina, and now he will be immortalized as a legend, since it is largely thanks to him that they managed to lift the world cup trophy, in Doha.

After what was experienced in the Middle East, the possibility of FIFA preventing the goalkeepers from talking to the players who are going to execute a charge sounded loud, all this after what was done by 'Dibu' not only in the World Cup, but in the Copa América 2021, when he made famous the phrase: "Look how I eat you, brother", which he launched towards Yerry Mina, defender of the Colombian National Team.

Emiliano Martínez's response to the international organization:

In dialogue with ESPN, the 'Dibu' pointed out: “We will always have to adapt to modern rules and what FIFA wants. I already saved the penalties that I had to save to help my team win, that's enough for me”. Now, the Aston Villa goalkeeper, who expressed his desire to play for a club that plays in the Champions League, is focusing on the friendlies that the Albiceleste will have in March.
