While France still calls for Dibu Martinez to be punished, what he did upon returning to Aston Villa

In a very short time, Emiliano Martínez went from almost absolute anonymity to being the idol of adults and children. Until the beginning of 2021, the goalkeeper was not confirmed as a starter in any team, until he took advantage of Leno's injury in Arsenal and that great level shown, opened the door to the goal of the Argentine National Team, dazzling Lionel Scaloni with his saves .

Initially, he was going to occupy a place on the relay bench, but Franco Armani, who had been in the selected team since the game, caught Coronavirus and had to be unaffected. Within this framework, the coach had no choice but to use him and boy did he respond: Three titles in 18 months, crucial duels won thanks to him and a new benchmark within the squad.

The Qatar 2022 World Cup was no exception and he continued to demonstrate all his qualities, being fundamental in nothing more and nothing less than in the championship final against France, where he covered a one-on-one in injury time with the game tied, and then a penalty in the defining series. After the title, he arrived in his homeland to celebrate and later spend Christmas with his family.

In that week and a half that he was resting in Argentina, a cascade of criticism came from the Old Continent. It was first because of his gesture when receiving the Golden Glove award at the award ceremony, and then for making fun of Kylian Mbappé in the celebrations with the fans. But his rest is over, and this Thursday he had to fly to England, where Aston Villa was waiting for him.

The curious reception of his team in the Premier League

Emiliano arrived at his team on Friday morning, and the official account of the institution made a brief video in which he can be seen returning to the facilities of the place. It only lasts 15 seconds and they showed no signs of affection or congratulations to the new world champion. In any case, fans of that team left hundreds of positive comments for him at the bottom of the Twitter post.
