After waiting for a long time, the third World Cup came to the soil of Argentina. When Argentina, under the leadership of Lionel Messi, waved the flag in Qatar, the whole world clapped for them.
Not only the World Cup, the Golden Ball award for the best player through Messi and the Golden Glove award for the best goalkeeper through Emiliano Martinez also went to Argentina.
Not only the Golden Ball, Messi also won the Man of the Match award four times in the group stage. But Emiliano Martinez has revealed that he jokingly told Messi not to win the best player award after the semi-final match.
Messi was the man of the match who performed well with a goal and an assist in the match against Croatia.
Emiliano spoke about Messi’s performance in an interview with Sportstar.
“After the match against Croatia, I told Messi not to win the man of the match award. Because this is a lot, Messi buys the award,’ said Emiliano.
Martinez revealed that he is very happy to win the World Cup for Messi.
“I am very happy that all of us helped Messi win the World Cup. I want Messi to continue playing and Qatar should not be his last World Cup.
After the final in the Qatar World Cup, I told him to stay with us. “We have to keep playing, there is room here to win more titles,” said Martinez.
Martinez played a vital role in Argentina’s World Cup win in Qatar. The last minute save in the final and the star’s shot stopping in the shootout stage including the final made Argentina the world champions.
