Dibu Martínez won the award as the best goalkeeper at The Best awards, a decision that was quite controversial for some players, the Argentine player had a great game in the World Cup final and that helped his team to win the tournament.
FIFA chose him as the best goalkeeper in the world in 2022 and he beat the players Thibaut Courtois and Yassine Bounou, who had a great year and were recognized by the press. Many saw that the election of Emiliano Martínez was not fair.
Toni Kross recognized Emiliano Martinez for winning this award for his great participation in the Qatar 2022 World Cup: “In a year like this, after the World Cup, that tournament is always an important point when it comes to prizes. He was the standout player there. So it was not a surprise", said the Real Madrid player.
But Toni Kross's brother did not agree with the choice of Emiliano Martínez and criticized the Argentine goalkeeper quite strongly in a podcast.
“He may be the best player in the World Cup, but it's still a whole year. I didn't think he was 'outstanding' enough to have to be serious. It was a joke to me that the goalkeeper from Argentina was also the best goalkeeper, nobody knew him before the World Cup and he only got the prize for the World Cup. I didn't even think it would do so well. He made one or two good saves, especially in the final, but he didn't give the best impression of being the best goalkeeper. It was a joke gala for me”, declared the brother of Toni Kross.
