The hero of the world final against France continues to make people talk, and while some criticize him, others show their affection.

Emiliano Damián Martinez, goalkeeper for Aston Villa and Argentina, is the new hero for young people, adults and children. The goalkeeper has thrilled everyone in Argentina, a place that, unlike Europe, will always love him, thanks to his incredible performance at the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Anyone of any age can admire the man who emerged from Independiente de Avellaneda.

He is now a hero, however it was not always the case. This "Dibumanía" began in the 2021 Copa América, where he saved three penalties in 12 plays against Colombia in the semifinals, in reference to his characteristic phrase “Look at me, be careful that i'll eat you”, words which were easy to hear, as the stadium was empty due to Covid.
