At the microphone of an Argentine radio, the doorman of Albiceleste explained his controversial gesture during the presentation of the World Cup trophies in Qatar.

This is probably one of the most striking and controversial images of this World Cup. In the euphoria of the presentation of the “Golden Glove” trophy, Emiliano Martinez, the Albiceleste goalkeeper, burst into a funny celebration on the podium, placing the object at his crotch. Since then, the photo has made the rounds of social networks.

This Monday, December 19, the doorman spoke at the microphone of Argentine radio The net. He explained the reasons for his action. “I did it because the French booed me. Arrogance doesn’t work with me,” said Emiliano “Dibu” Martinez.

NO SUPERB?

Emiliano Martínez was elected the best goalkeeper of the World Cup and made a somewhat peculiar celebration. For La Red radio, Dibu explained that the gesture was a response to the French present at the Lusail Stadium. pic.twitter.com/Tr0NRWGg2C
