Emiliano Martínez has continued to mock the French team after Argentina’s victory in the World Cup final.
After videos of him continuously mocking Kylian Mbappe during trophy celebrations went viral, there was quite a bit of criticism leveled at the Argentine team, particularly Martinez for failing to show grace in victory.
But that hasn’t stopped the World Cup hero, instead he has now directed a hint at Real Madrid’s Tchouameni, who missed his penalty in the shootout dragging it wide.
Martinez won a series of mind games as Les Bleus sent their attackers forward, saving Kingsley Coman before unsettling Tchouameni enough for the 22-year-old to send his effort past the post.
Addressing fans during the ongoing celebrations in South America, he spoke about the mind games he played with the French players and that he knew the Real Madrid man would miss him. He said:
“When I save the first penalty in the final, I know that the other boy was going to get very nervous. I tried to play with him mentally, throwing the ball, talking to him… And he missed the goal, he screwed everything up”.
“When I saved the first penalty in the final, I know the other guy was going to be very nervous. I tried to play it mentally by throwing the ball, talking to him… And he missed the goal, he screwed up. *** all.”
