Reports from Spain claim that due to Emiliano Martinez’s inappropriate conduct after the 2022 World Cup Final, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is evaluating the possibility of parting ways with the Argentine goalkeeper.
Argentina’s World Cup Winning Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez Could Be Sold After Continually Trolling Kylian Mbappe-‘Nobody’s Going To Touch Him With A Barge Pole’
Aston Villa’s manager is apparently not too pleased with the attitude of the goalkeeper, who had been presented the Golden Glove award at the end and proceeded to make an offensive motion by gesturing with it as though it was a penis.
Additionally, France have filed a grievance with FIFA in response to the goalkeeper’s behaviour throughout the conclusion of the match, as he continually mocked Kylian Mbappe. This included a situation where Martinez trolled Mbappe by requesting a minute’s silence for him.
Not only that, but he paraded a doll in the form of Mbappe during the team’s homecoming celebrations in Argentina. As such, according to Fichajes, the Aston Villa manager is eager to part ways with the goalie in spite of his impressive success in the World Cup.
Numerous people have reprimanded the joyous reactions of Martinez, including Fabio Capello labelling him as “stupid” and Graham Souness accusing him of acting like a “clown”. Furthermore, the Aston Villa manager declared that he would soon be having a discussion with Martinez about his conduct.
In his comments at the time, Martinez remarked: “I want to speak with him when he will come here next week but I am thinking more about his performance and his win, than his celebration.
“The celebration is for the supporters, with really big emotions. It’s not really a good moment as a coach to identify why.” The fans on social media, though, felt it was not going to be easy to sell the keeper. This was on the grounds that he had damaged his reputation with his antics.
One person wrote: “Nobody’s going to touch him with a barge pole.. Complete embarrassment.” So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
