During the last international break, at the beginning of September, the Albiceleste goalkeeper distinguished himself by his behavior – willingly provocative – against Chile and then Colombia – an attitude which earned him the reprimands of the Fifa, and a sanction, for violation of the principles of fair play.
This Monday, Emiliano Martinez wanted to make amends: “
I accept the sanction from Fifa and I apologize if I offended anyone, the celebrations are supposed to bring smiles to many kids and not disrespect anyone. »
And the Argentinian goalkeeper who also stood out for his obscenities during the 2022 World Cup celebrations added: “ It was never my intention to disrespect anyone. I didn’t understand that a gesture that was well received by people was offensive, but I will try not to offend anyone anymore and focus on winning titles with Argentina and Aston Villa. »
