New fan images have surfaced online today showing a new angle of Emi Martinez’s brilliant mind games against Real Madrid midfielder Tchouameni in the World Cup final that the Frenchman missed.
Argentina captain Lionel Messi, who scored twice, and France superstar Kylian Mbappé, who scored a hat-trick, each scored their respective teams’ first penalties before MartÃnez saved Coman’s and Dybala made the 2-1.
And the pressure was on Tchouameni, 20, who was approaching. However, Martinez can be seen grabbing the ball and arrogantly taking it with him refusing to give it to the player as he cheers on the Argentine fans.
And when the referee sternly asked for the ball, he instead threw it at the player and forced him to go get it.
The mind games worked when the midfielder hauled in his deflected penalty with the goalkeeper diving in the right direction, and the miss proved decisive as the shootout ended 3-2 and Argentina were crowned World Champions.
