- Emiliano Martinez is an absolute menace. Probably the greatest villain in world football at the moment, as well as the most in demand goalkeeper for a penalty shootout.
However, he wasn't always a superstar. How did this happen?

If a goaly can't celebrate a save, then players shouldn't be able to celebrate goals...
Totally!
Well said
Well said. Well said.
You can say that again!
They manage a lot of pressure
Hugo Lloris: "I'm too rational and honest A MAN to go that way"
Also Hugo Lloris: *Hits his wife*
Ain't no way 😂
Jajajaja so true and so sad
damn thats sad
yo wtf when did he do that shit
although it'd be a funny joke, it never actually happened so why did you post such thing ?
Let's be honest, the "problem" with Martinez is that he's from South America. This type of behavior isn't new in football at all. Shittalk is always there, dancing for celebration is always there, arrogant player are always gonna be there, but it only "hurts" when it comes from us. I'm at least happy that the goaly gets to be the scary player this time, and in a team with Messi that's saying a lot
It has nothing to do with nationality, he just pokes the sodomized asses of a lot of guys who have big money on FIFA with his antics.
true because at the end they hug eo and respect
yes now south americans are playing the victim card like they were jews
Emi Martinez is only hated because he's southamerican. I'm 100% sure that if his antics were done by an European gk, people would be saying that he's masterclass
Correction: WHEN his antics were done by europeans, people called them a masterclass
100% yes
that's totally true.
Yeah I've seen it too
even other southamericans hate when we do it, don't forget mexicans and poorzuelans who are also madrid fans
he's the kind of guy you'd hate playing against but would love to have on your team😂😂doesn't matter if you like him or not he's a national hero
I felt the way about Diego costa.
@@kb4903to call that man a menace would be the understatement of the century, he used to straight up research dead relatives of opposing players so he could play mind games with them
The Draymond Green of football if you will
@@brendanamusmaximus7560yes
The goalkeeper Sergio Ramos
The problem here is that Emi is south american. When Tim Krul did it, everyone said he was smart even though he was harassing Brian Ruiz. When Redmayne did his thing to Peru, again, no one complaint. The problem here is that a south american did it. That's why they didn't want to change any rule before.
Goalkeepers got carded before for deliberate unsportsmanlike conduct in a penalty shootout so it's nothing new, jumping around the goal line like Redmayne did or throwing away the water bottles with the instructions is still allowed.
@@heppoloYes, but they didn’t change the rules until Dibu won the WC.
underrated comment
So true
Good to know.
Argentinians are so lucky to have Emiliano Martínez on their team.
Greetings from Argentina.
Its just unbelievable that saudi were the only team to win against them. If only we did lose instead of win, argentina would have been THE team of the world
Thanks man
Thank you! Saludos desde Argentina😂
The stupidest thing ever is that they don't allow him to dance. Scorers have danced after a goal for decades, yet, they find it troublesome when Emiliano does it.
As Maradona would say; "La tienen adentro"
It still blows my mind he has a 50% save rate at penalties.
The average is around 10%.
He is officially "The Final Boss of Penalties"
“One man’s hero is a another man’s menace”; the best way to describe Emi Martinez 😂
The best penalty stopper I've ever seen and most will call all the greats out of bias but emi is different
@@SYKim_94gonna steal this lmfao
What baffles me is why big clubs are not signing him? (no disrespect to Aston Villa).
@@Blackfly032woke nonsense of modern football. Top teams would pay top dollar for a Pirlo with gloves than a showstopper
He’s also said that he talked with his therapist during his time at Arsenal when he was a bit depressed and his therapist suggested that he celebrate his saves how a forward celebrates their goals.
He always names his therapist, that's a lot for us latinos that just now we have destigmatize take care about mental health
@@OctarineCodestrange, considering Argentina has the highest per-capita therapist rate in the world…
@@LautaroTessi yes, but is also concentrated in Buenos Aires City. Maybe a thing naturalized between intellectuals in the old days, now its being naturalized to the kids playing football in the mud
@@OctarineCode This is not the case for Argentina at all, people talk about going to the therapist like it's going to the supermarket
@@OctarineCodePero no para los argentinos. Un gran porcentaje de ciudadanos argentinos vamos o hemos ido al psicólogo. Aqui está naturalizado. Es mas, lo raro es q alguien te diga q nunca fue al psicólogo.
The question is, if a striker can celebrate a goal, why can't a goalkeeper celebrate a save?
they mean about the minds game before taking a penalty , of course he can celebrate after saving a penalty dancing or something, i think this rule is stupid by the way...
He can if he is european, if you are from south america, then is a provocation
I don't see Any flaw in Your logic
For the rest of the world, "Dibu" Martínez may be seen as a jerk, but we Argentines know that he is really a very humble guy and that he has his feet on the ground with respect to work and what his role is in the team. We are proud that he is our goalkeeper
!!!!VAMOS ARGENTINA¡¡¡¡🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Esperemos que mañana solamente sea un espectador de lujo el Dibu. No quiero sufrir otra vez jajajaja. PD: aviso que soy argentino XDDD
@@blaspereyra9193 y asi fue. Por suerte no tuvo que intervenir mucho.
I think "has his feet on the ground" could be more accurately phrased as something along the lines of "he's quite the down-to-earth guy"
Just a tiny remark in case it helps!
¡¡¡¡VAMOS ARGENTINAAAAA!!!! 🧉🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🎉🎉
@@SUPERNOOB20 People hate to be that guy (the one who corrects everything) but I love it, the internet need more people like you
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind the trash talk if he wasn't successful, just like frenchies are complaining now because of a song to try penalize Argentinian players, it gives me the impression that they would do whatever it takes to inhibit Argentina's capacity to do any harm. As long as they keep barking I'm happy, it means Argentina's doing things right.
Against Ecuador I was nearing a heart attack after Messi missed and this dude was hitting the griddy
You know, contrary to how you were feeling, for the first time in decades; I was actually optimistic - precisely because Dibu was in goal for us!
My calmness might have been partly due to the fact that the Copa America matches start at around 6 in the morning in India; but, generally, I start sweating bullets as soon as Argentina gets to penalties. However, since Dibu has almost made it inevitable that he'll give his team a massive advantage in the pens, I've been calmer. Barring an absolute shocker from a collection of some of the best forwards and midfielders in world football, it's genuinely difficult to beat Argentina on penalties due to El Dibu.
Messi's shot accuracy have been terrible the entire Copa America.. Football is leaving him
@@jomo2483 Bro gave everything for the country and club and is 37 now. He can be terrible as much he wants to now.
@@jomo2483 Aye, he's nearing his career end
Dude has done more than enough, if he didn't get it this time, no harm done
@@jomo2483 And he is on the vacations league, playing every 20 days when not making anything else but trainig. Messi is retired, just playing with the inertia of his carreer
As a Villa fan, I'm aware Martinez is a shithouse. But he's our shithouse. Best goalkeeper in the world, as far as I'm concerned.
such an underrated goalkeeper, he's so good outside of penalties as well
it is commendable how Unai Emery can humble him down after series of smugness after he wins the world cup
"He's an asshole!"
"He's MY ASSHOLE"
Martinez is one of those players that, if he's on your team, you are totally behind him. If he's on the opposition... UNBRIDLED HATE.
@@JimTheFlyim not a fan of villa nor argentina nor messi. But i love this guy😂. The football world has become too stale especially with no outfield player with flair & skills no more. This kind of antiques bring something back to the game
His teammates said that during a final, Argentina went to penalties, and he was very chill and told his teammates, "no worries, I'll save 3 goals" and he did
50% save rate at penalties is insane
Imagine the mental advantage that gives to his teammates
Penalties haven't even started yet and you're already up 2-0
The sight of this player gives french fans ptsd just ask lille
They are going to lose the Euro to avoid seeing him in the finalisima

Emi Martinez's save in extra time won the World Cup for Argentina. He had every right and more to do whatever celebration he wanted.
100%
Totally agree!
100% agree!
His celebration was hilarious
Emi hilarious. I love that guy.
In Argentina we actually love trash talk. Is our culture 😂
Along with cheating at football.
@@kidmack3556 wow can't believe I have to wait 4 DAYS for a comment saying we cheat😲😆 that's the price for being too good and passionate about everything 😁
Is part od the competition, always
@@rociioro
I can't believe it's been a known fact since the 1930's, and for my generation who've been watching and waiting for over 45 years for just ONE of you to admit to it.
"Too good"?
Amazing isn't it, that most of the football playing countries celebrate when Brazil, France, Italy and even Germany win a tournament, but when the AFA "wins" we start looking around to find what smells so bad.
@@kidmack3556 I love to see how people cry after our victory! hahahaha
As Shaquille O'Neal once said: "Someone is really good when they have to change the rules of the sport to stop them." Well, they changed the rules on penalties because of Emiliano "El Dibu" Martinez.
What was the change?
Something most people not from Argentina don't know is the impact Dibu has had on children. It is amazing to see so many young kids wanting to be goalkeepers and using his shirt. It might not sound like much but Argentina has always had their eyes glued to the forwards (Maradona, Messi, Kempes, etc) but now everyone is looking at the back, knowing that if the time comes El Dibu will be there.
Modern Argentina never had a really world class keeper,think Romero and Rulli,they weren't really world class, Caballero too,Dibu's their best
Goycochea was pretty good back in the 80s-90s.
It's funny imagining that 10-20 years from now, every Argentinian keeper across the leagues would be doing the same shithousery as Emi did. Every shootout involving two of these keepers would be hilarious.
Are children willing to be assholes when they look up to him, or do you think they are smart enough to ignore it 😂
Bro I'm from India from one of the smallest states. Emi Martínez helped a kid from my state get into the top football academy because he shared a reel of the little boy saving shots and telling how Emi Martínez was his idol. The reels became viral and many clubs started contacting him and finally he is at Minerva Academy the top Indian academy free of any fees. We the football fans of Meghalaya are grateful to Martínez
Its not illegal and everyone can do it. The difference is, no one has the balls to do it like Dibu.
And back it with results.
the guts
As an Argentinian myself, it's impossible to put to words how much we appreciate Dibu (as we affectionately call him here) and how thankful we are for what he's done for us. Thank you for this video!
The fact that Arsenal kicked this guy of their club right after he gave them their first trophy in god knows how many years, tells you everything you need to know about Arsenal, glad he's being appreciated now by Argentina and Aston Villa
The only reason Dibu is criticized by so many people is because they are consumed by envy. They can't do anything but WISH they had a GK like Dibu in their teams...
I am 100% Ecuadorian and I Friggin’ love Dibu !!! He is an awesome goalie for sure
REAAAAAL
just sore losers
@@UchihaG 😂😂😂😂
@@UchihaG Just like Ushiromiya Battler saids "Victory isn´t something you are given. It is something you take" And Argentina is still the last World Cup Champion and proven again with Colombia.
The funniest thing is that the gesture he made with the trophy for goalkeeper of the world cup, he made it because a teammate, acuña, said to him no balls
I would have thought he would go around with the glove hitting people, including that sour-faced Qatari dignitary.,
*told him he didn't have the balls to do it.
I'm guessing that's what you meant. If not I apologize.
@Racoon Humble people like you exist on internet make me feel optimist about social media world...
you are also the same @@pritammoni989
@@raccoonchild Yeah, that's what he meant, it's just that in spanish the phrase really is almost that short
Today Argentina won the Copa America as he was awarded the best goalkeeper trophy. He received just 1 goal during the whole tournament, and saved 2 penalty shots against Ecuador. As an Argentinean I am thankful to AV where we were able to show all his skills, the gave him the continuity he truly deserved.
7.32 meters wide by 2,44 meters high, total 17.9 sqm. This is a football goal size.
An average goalkeeper size 1.8 m by 0.6 m, with arms extended 2.2 m by 0.6 m; total 1.3 sqm. So, a goalkeeper covers only 7.3% of the total goal surface exposed to a penalty shot.
With these figures one may think that professional strikers missing a penalty shot is unbelievable, however, psychological pressure does the job and Dibu adds more fuel to the burning strikers' braincells badly needing to beat him. This is art.
Fun fact: Armani was the undisputed goalkeeper but he got covid a week before the match. Just one day before the match he didnt have any symthoms but he still tested positive, and as a rule of the tournament he couldnt play, leaving his place to Martinez for the first time. The rest is history...
There is a just and fair GOD. 🥳🥳🥳!
And Armani must be the worst goalkeeper in penalties. (And I'm a River Plate fan)
Gracias a Dios se enfermó jajajajajajaja
@@maximososa9181 bro 2018 goalkeeper literally seem like cancer patient,if dibu would be at goal at that time argentina would won 2-1 against france,3-0 debacle against croatia due idiotic keeper mistake
@@adityachaudhary9898 that was not armani's fault, the 3-0 croatia humilliation was willy caballero's fault, Armani did a good enough job in the 4-3 against france, sadly pavard was illuminated by god or something and scored the best goal of his life
Dude goes and promotes therapy, he knows beyond he's limitations as a person so he goes beyond in his craft, totally respectful and resourceful individual.
Thank you for mentioning that after the matches he goes to comfort the other team's players, especially their goal keeper. That is also something he always does too, apart from celebrating
Kudos on the Spanish pronunciation! As an Argentinian (and Spanish speaker in general), it's always nice seeing non-native content creators making the effort to pronounce thinks properly. It hasn't gone unnoticed!
He became a litteral cheat code for Argentina 😂😂
Fr like in a shoot out what can the others players do besides make their shots
with a enphasis on cheat
@@thomasmcallister7515 cry more!
If they not playing well they can always drag it to the pens and he'll do the dirty job
as argentinian i´m happy with 2 results, winning or going to penalties and winning
As a Liverpool fan, I actually like his style and am now a fan of his. It sucks that players who scored goals can go mental with their celebrations but as soon as Dibu showboats, it's a problem. Why can't he or any other GK celebrate a save they made or try to rattle other players as long as they don't do it physically and keep loved ones out of it? These are professional footballers who get paid ridiculous amounts of money so they should have nerves of steel when rival players or rival fans heckle them.
Anyway, his kind of shithousery is awesome, in my opinion. Here's how I see it: If he beats my team, I'd obviously be pissed and that kind of frustration will make you work even harder and when you face him again and win, it will just be that much sweeter and that kind of emotion is almost nonexistent in football.
Besides, if he can handle criticism and heckling from arsehole attackers who scored against him, then they shouldn't act like pissy little children when he returns the favour
alisson could take some notes 😂
@@Logoooo I agree!! Even though he's already good at penalties, a little shithousery would make him even better. But Ali is too much of a good guy. Hell, even when Liverpool is leading, he doesn't waste time by holding onto the ball, which I find both admirable and annoying because everyone else does it 😂😭
Emiliano always narrates how his therapist helped and still helps him cope with both failure and success, the confidence isn't just born, he built it
I see why you would love him as a Liverpool fan... Bruce David Grobbelaar did exactly the same stuff... He is well known for his performance during Liverpool vs Roma European Cup final (1984). Look him up.
@@wckvn no need. I grew up during that era 😅
quick and fun fact: Young argentinian football teams are currently having issues with having no frontliners because everyone wants to be a goalkeeper. Dibu(emiliano martinez) is setting a trend just like messi did back in 2010.
I remember the semifinal in Qatar 2022, the Dutch goalkeeper tried to do the same as Dibu Martinez, trying to unfocus Lautaro... Good try, and no one complained there.
Quarter final.....the semi final was against Croatia.
@@GodofMMA23 right
Not just that, the dutch goslkeeper was going for the penalti point so the ball wouldn't go as planned. If you watch that video, you will se how hes feet are going there, that's why Lautaro "pushes" him with the ball
I love this man. They can whine all they want, but dude protects the goal. That's his job, and he does it frighteningly well.
"Ground me if you want, nothing can un-save the penalties"
In Criollo: Descogida no hay.
I loved the video, and couldn't agree more with you. I'm a Colombian and most people around me hate Dibu due to last Copa América semifinals. We're up to play them again this Sunday. I find that hatred coming from double standards and frustration, more than the alleged "sportmanship", and hence I feel they're hypocritical, even if unknowingly. When there's no player in the world that fakes a fault or wastes time at the end of a crucial match or provokes the opponent in uncountable ways during the whole match like Uruguayans did Colombians in the semifinals just this week, then tell me Martinez lacks sportmanship, but up to now dirty play has been essential in football and every single player has resorted to it during their career. Even ultradefensive lineups against perceived better teams tend to dirty matches, make them slow and unplayable, usually ending in fights. There are teams that make "tactical" faults the whole game to decrease the opponent's rythm of play, and that's not lack of sportmanship? Naaaaah, that's "strategy". Bollocks. Then there's a keeper who's an absolute master at mind games, and, lo and behold! He lacks sportmanship. To me that sounds like hipocrisy and envy, because he's just waaaaaaaay better than everyone at it. And your'e also right in that, once the games end and in interviews, he's a smart, beautiful, sensitive guy. He knows it's part of the game, and that's it. I personally love and admire Dibu, and have a great time everytime I see him play. And that will not change if he beats my national team in a penalty shootout this Sunday.

Te felicito hermano Colombiano por tan excelente análisis!. Siempre pienso como tú, cuando van a penalizar el juego sucio de los jugadores y las faltas inventadas, típicas del futbol mundial. Cuando eso ocurra, hablemos de verdad, de conducta deportiva. Mientras tanto, y otra vez coincido contigo, es sólo hipocresía y envidia. Para juego limpio, aprendamos algo del Rugby y del respeto a las reglas y hacia los árbitros.

Dibu Martinez is the kind of player that you hate if you have to face him, but if he's on your team, you love him with all your heart. Aston Villa fans and us Argentinians have that bond, haha. One of the best things Emi has done is inspire the kids. Here in Argentina, with our football culture, the goalkeeper position was always a last resort. They'd always put the less skilled player in goal, or you'd be annoyed if it was your turn. But thanks to Dibu, it's been revalued. Now there's a generation of kids fighting to be the goalkeeper, and that's awesome. great video and greetings from Mar de Plata Argentina❤
I (villa fan) had pretty much never heard of him until he signed for villa, the mad bastard saved a pen on his debut and I knew he'd be a hero. Best in the world.
Banning trash talk and mind games would be huge mistake. It tips a very uneven scale a little bit back in the keepers way and makes penalties infinitely more entertaining. If anything, more keepers should pull those antics.
Ps: Lloris saying he's too 'decent' to do that is funny, since he's dreadful on penalties. He really should've tried it.
if i recall correctly lloris' post of "there are some things i can't do..." got responded with "keeping the ball out of the goal is one of them" by argentinian fans lol

Whenever Dibu arrives to save penalty shootout dark souls music plays in the background.
😸👌
Argentinian teams tend to have great GK and some of them amazing penalty savers (Romero, Abbondanzieri, Goycochea). But what Martínez do goes beyond just saving a penalty. He gives so much confidence to our takers, that they know their opponents will miss at least two of them. It releases so much pressure and weight out of their shoulders, it is fantastic and something I didnt see from anyone else.
So true.. goat pk goalkeepers
People of my generation regards Goycoechea as a penalties specialist, but Dibu has long surpass him.
Fillol
He's a national treasure. Goalkeepers should be fully entitled to celebrate their saves like strikers celebrate their goals.
People outside Argentina and Aston Villa hate them because they wish they had him in their teams.
Emiliano is good enough that FIFA changed the rules just for him 😂
Which was pure BS, because they are limiting and restricting the fun part out of the game. Strikers swear, celebrate crazily all the time after scoring goals but GK's can't celebrate in the same crazy manner after stopping a goal? Stopping a penalty put way more pressure on opponent team than scoring one does. The goalkeepers should be allowed to celebrate in much more flamboyantly than strikers.
@@whiteknight8734 actually he can still celebrate dancing after stopping a penalty, what is forbidden now is when before the penalty is kicked the goalkeeper thrash talks or delays the kicking

Hola. Soy de Mar del Plata, la ciudad del Dibu Martínez.
Argentina tuvo un gran atajador de penales, Sergio Goycochea (sobre todo en la Copa Mundial de Italia en 1990), pero hasta el mismísimo Goyco reconoció que Dibu está en otro nivel. Simplemente está totalmente loco. Pero con una locura hermosa. Se merece pasar el buen momento por el que está pasando. Es un crack en el arco y lo vamos a extrañar mucho cuando se retire, aunque por suerte seguramente sea en bastantes años por la longevidad en la actividad que tienen los arqueros. Si fuera por nosotros, que Dibu se quede por toda la eternidad en el arco, hasta en silla de ruedas. Lo que creo que le hace marcar la diferencia es que no solo pasó por un momento difícil y logró superarse, sino que además es un excelente profesional como futbolista más allá de su locura hermosa. Gracias por este video. ¡Vamos Argentina, carajo!
Thanks to Dibu there is a goalkeeper fever among kids in Argentina. I can say that probably after Messi's jersey 10 number the next one you can see most often is Dibus green and red 23 number. We have a great future of GK ahead of us!
I love this for us!! He's causing an entire paradigm shift
I will never forget that air hump against Colombia 😂😂😂 dude is a real villain
villain for one, hero for others, for me it's a normal guy with awesome abilities.
This guy has not only restored Argentina's old glory in International Tournaments but gave Football one of the things is lacking nowadays: Epic Situations.
Dibu Martinez has already added another Copa América in which he won another penalty shootout by saving 2, despite the anti-Dibu rules he continues doing what he does best
Only fitting you uploaded this on Argentina's independence day, Dibu is a national treasure o7
Funniest part for me is how they preferred Leno who’s way way WAY worse, to the point they got rid of Leno over Martinez who got arsenal an FA CUP and a community shield
Nobody wanted Leno and Arteta couldn’t guarantee Emi playing time. Emi forced his way out and Aston Villa swooped in for a malcontent keeper.
@@martytu20big club should go for this club. Would imagine chelsea cause of the unstability gk they have

Dibu has made goalkeeping exciting again. He is a gangsta.
When it comes to Penalties, Martinez watches the run up, where the player is looking, the angle of the player to the ball and the angle of the foot. It is no fluke he has won every single penalty shootout.

He also has talked about the dances, he said that when a guy scores pass him, the guy gets to do all the silly dances and celebrations that he wants, why can't he do the same? VAMOS ARGENTINA
You can hate the “Dibu” if doesn’t play for your team. He plays for mine, then I LOVE HIM
The Boss. I'm French and for the final of WC I was for Argentina. Dibu made his job perfectly.
sorry, what?
Oh, thanks🤍🇦🇷
Every player in the world when he scores and celebrates : normal
Martinez when save a huge penalty and celebrate: Arrogant , shithouse
Get owned 🇦🇷👌🏻

Vini Jr. anota un gol, corre al banderín, hace festejo. Viene compañero y bailan. Se abraza con el restro del equipo. Luego mira la tribuna y Si es la hinchada rival hace el gesto(él que manda en la cancha), si es local arenga a que griten más. Luego se abraza con 2 o 3 jugadores más, bailecito para la camara y se rie. En total entre 3 a 6 celebraciones.
Emiliano te ataja un penal o hace una excelente salvada.... a bancarse el festejo.
Ningún jugador en el mundo, hoy por hoy celebra normal.
Legend..this man is a legend.. he is going to inspire kids to become goalkeepers. Such a character, such a prolific goalkeeper!
For an Argentinian, I Love him more than Messi. He's like a child, he is crazy and he do it for his team, family, country... He struggled a lot of years, suffered and learned...you can hate him or love him and if you do love him is a heart warming feeling that feel so good. He is historic.
He is the messi of goalkeepers. Every young player looks up to Emi and wants to be a keeper like him. He's giving birth to a generation of keepers like him
This just shows how clueless the entire coaching team of Arsenal was back in the day, even Arsene Wenger.
To be fair, hes an unknown up against not two but three or four tested teammates. Even Argentina almost overlook him if not for Covid downing their first choice. That’s his one and only break. *you got one shot Eminem
Hoy vamos por el bicampeonato, vieja. I don't care nothing!!
If they had just paid attention, literally half of Arsenal's problems go away from like 12 years ago. They were dreadful in between the posts back then.

El Dibu es un crack, cuando yo era niño y te mandaban al arco era como un especie de castigo porque no jugabas bien, hoy los niños en argentina quieren ir al arco y jugar a ser el Dibu cambio la forma en la que se veia a los arqueros en un país donde siempre se destaco el juego de los delanteros
The Yerry Mina save, everyone was shouting at him "Dance now" after he missed because of another penalty shootout where he scored and started dancing
“Estas nervioso eh” 😂😂😂 i was laughing sk much when i heard thr trash talk, and then the english subs he ate yerry mina alive 😂😂
that was because of the dancing of Mina against Uruguay.
"mira que te como hermano"
Penalties are a psychological game, and since it's a "game of probability," mastering this aspect is crucial to increasing success rates. Martínez does this brilliantly, he's a genius!
Good video man! In Argentina we didn't even know who he was until his first appearence with the national team in 2021. His story is a lesson on persistance, strong mentality and vision. And yes, he is a badass!!!😝
The beauty of this man, is that he's a villain only inside the pitch. Outside he's a gentlemen, a very humble and good man. Also his english is amazing for being a spanish-native speaker.

This video just tells his story in such a way that someone who literally used to consider this person an asshole for his antics can't help but somewhat agree to his methods, it did get his team results and he didn't even break any pre-existing rules to get those results too, football in general is all tilted towards glorifying the goalscorers,hence no player since Yashin has ever won the Ballon D'or, but, that's a different story altogether,A goalscorer can miss 10 chances and score a crucial goal to become the hero, but a goalkeeper can make 100s of crucial saves but 1 mistake somehow dooms their career in some cases (for e.g Karius) granted he was never one of the best or anywhere near consideration for that, but as a Liverpool fan myself even though the loss of 2018 was painful, it is just sad that one game costed him his career and all that followed, its high time the playing field is made a little more even, although his mockery of Mbappe during Argentina celebration was a little overboard and distasteful and that's one aspect perhaps he could mend,but, you can't forget how Mbappe literally insulted the entire south american contingent before the 2022 World cup, so that's a very thin line to tread on
Te felicito por tu criterio tan ecuánime, mis respetos desde Argentina 😊👍
@@josemariaszanto3284 De nada amigo

Shithouse behaviour is just a football thing, the sport is filled with insufferable clowns, so there should be no complaint about Martinez weaponizing average football behaviour to better keep his goal and get the world cup.
As for Mbappe, the guy is a shitstain in football history, I haven't heard of a single player who has dealt with him who has a positive opinion of him. On top of that he actively picked a fight with Martinez' country before the world cup started.
So in my opinion, he got off easy, Martinez had every right to insult him harder. Strange how when someone like Mbappe displays clear racism and xenophobia he doesn't get any sort of fine or unsporstmanslike behaviour suspension, but when a white player does it they get blacklisted, isn't it?
Argentinian here, we fricking love Dibu!! he is as of right now, the best goalkeeper in our football history
Love your video about the greatest argentinian GK of all time, and im 40 yo from Argentina. This guy chanced everything.
He’s not a bad guy, he just does whatever it takes to win.
May not be the gk Argentina deserves, but he is the gk Argentina needs.
He fits in with their squad perfectly. They’ve always been unsportsmanlike hooligans. Starting with Maradona.
@@anonanon2614And that's why they are one of the most successful national teams in history... Unlike other teams that take pride in their behaviour because they don't have the silverware to brag about.

Only covering Martinez's proficiency in penalties is selling him short. He is an incredible al around goalkeeper and leader in general. He makes amazing consistent saves, and in this Copa America he's been outstanding. He's even started placing very precise long ball passes which isn't something we're used to from Argentina. I feel people are still uncomfortable truly rating and accepting Martinez, for whatever reason it may be, but the truth is he's an amazing all round goalkeeper and currently the best in the world.
He shares the best goalkeeper in history spot with Higuita IMO.
Honestly, never expected Martinez to get this big or be like this good. Throughout my time watching the PL as a kid, I've known him as that one guy on Arsenal's bench, and he's not exactly a teenager back then. He's been great nowadays.
y'all so soft lmao treating a football awards event like its an UN meeting
The drive from Mar del Plata is a freeway that crosses the pampas, or Argentine plains. Not a winding road in the middle of the jungle, lol.
It’s stock footage for dramatic effect haha
@@FootballIconic Great video nonetheless. Cheers.
@@FootballIconic the interior of the Buenos Aires province is not that different to the prairies they have in the USA in the Mid Western states. But, you know, you could also have gone by boat, through the sea right? after all, the city is Mar del Plata ("Sea of Silver").
I thought the same. It is a very boring road. Almost 400 km in a straight line.
@@FootballIconic jajaja 😂
I laughed a lot when you put the supposed route from Buenos Aires to Mar del Plata through the tropical jungle. Cape Town, Buenos Aires and Sydney are at the same latitude. Mar del Plata is 400km south of those cities. Now in winter we have temperatures below 0°C.🥶🥶 ... Emi is already a legend!

I thought he was South African. That's why compare Buenos Aires with Cape Town. If he reads my comment it may be useful to him.
I enjoy watching Dibu playing. In my opinion, he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
If I'm being completely honest, I can already consider him the greatest penalty kick saver of all time. It's one thing for keepers to be able to keep a few shots out here and there, I mean no one would blame them if it was inconsistent because gk's are already at a disadvantage anyways in Pens. Some of the greatest goalkeepers ever could never be consistent with Penalty saves during shootouts, usually differing performances between tournaments. But they would always receive a pat on the back as long as they were able to save a single Pen every now and then to which everyone would just say good job and sing their praises. But Emi, he's... different. Like no one else I've ever seen he exudes confidence unto his team because they already know he's saving 2 when the time comes. Let that sink in for a bit. A gk, who is naturally at a disadvantage, is the one who gives his team the biggest breather and sense of comfort at the mere THOUGHT of the whistle to start the Penalty kicks. I have never seen anything like it, and it works. His teammates' pressure is immediately alleviated as they step up to take a pen because before they even take it, their opponent has already missed 1. By the time the 4th taker is up, the opponent has already missed 2. Do you know how insane that is? And it's not just a performance like that happening here and there, he's like that everytime they go to pens. He consistently saves 2 kicks on the spot each time the match is decided through Penalties, hell even the national team themselves are aware of this phenomenon. It's mind bending, if he wasn't already the best goalkeeper to ever hit the spot between the posts for penalty kicks, he's at least firmly the best of this generation.
He did that with the trophy because a teammate dared him to. Anyone would love to have him as a teammate
Martinez transformed Argentina and that's reality...haters can deal with it.. Cristiano is cocky Vinicious is cocky and they are the idols but when this guy does it he's bad...but don't worry kids are picking it up, seen enough reels of tiny kids saving pks and dancing like Dibu and that's enough for me 😂
Great vídeo, bro. Very inspirational. I share it to my nephew, who is starting as a goal keeper. Greetings from Argentina.
Dibu is a national treasure here, thanks for the video! We love him lots xo from Argentina
Dibu Martinez is a player that argentina has been looking for to win tournament, argentina has produce so many great talents, but they always somewhat stumbles on the way winning the tournament
also there is a video about butterfly effect in football mentioning Neil Maupay Injured Bernt Leno is what made Argentina won the world cup
It's far deeper than that uter corruption at fifa and afa and many other issues and of course they are cursed I said when Maradona dies a revenge is coming and that revenge will last decades they will win everything it was inevitable
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍👍👍👍
He's a national hero. As an Argentinean who was 21 years old in 2021 i grew up hearing my dad talk about how he saw Argentina win every silverware possible by the time he was 10. I saw Messi being criticized by not being able to win anything with the team while it was obvious that he was doing his absolute best. I remember very distinctly being on a bus on july 10th, 2021 and saying to a friend that Dibu was incredible against Colombia in penalties and that the only similar miracle i could think of was Goycochea. An old man next to me said "Yes, i think it was even better. He's gonna bring us glory". Dibu said many times that he promised Messi the world cup, and he delivered. Now he promised Angel Di Maria a last dance. I hope he gets it too 🥹
he did
He did. Fideo retired as four time champion playing over 120 minutes, most of those as captain of the national team. A legend, crowning his career with a last wreath of laurel.
@@Nerthos lemme tell you, my heart almost broke over those 120 minutes. Messi getting injured was the last straw, an even bigger motivation for this family of a team. When i think that wins can't get more epic, they do.
@@solgabosi5716 Messi's injury was tragic. It was so clear on that first half that they had planned to spend the whole game doing trick passes between them trying to score while having fun one last time.
Double egg, always dad.
