After what was the great performance of Dibu Martínez in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, he scored on fire for his performance on penalties, but mainly in one-on-one with Kolo Muani, he had the chance during an interview in the English media Behind The Games to tell when he "read the mind" of goalkeeper Lloris.

The Aston Villa goalkeeper, winner of The Best award for best goalkeeper, confessed to telling his teammates that after he saved a penalty they would probably kick hard up the middle as "no goalkeeper would stand like a fool in the middle, in a World Cup final”. That was how, after attacking Kingley Coman's penalty, Juventus striker Paulo Dybala scored the second, leaving Hugo Lloris without reaction.

During this same interview, Dibu also clarified the power to move in penalties, generating confusion in kickers. This was also endorsed by the best player in the world, Lionel Messi, who told the goalkeeper that it is more difficult, "when I don't move it's easier for those who finish off," he clarified.

Where will Dibu Martínez continue his career?

Despite having a contract until mid-2027 at Aston Villa, Martínez's future could be far from the villains, because important teams want to add him to his ranks. Among those interested are Juventus and Tottenham, where he would once again become the nightmare of French Hugo Lloris, since he could replace him in the Spurs goal.
