Emiliano Martinez's dig at the French and Kylian Mbappé

Symbol of the recent rivalry that has arisen between France and Argentina, Emiliano Martinez does not hesitate to blow on the embers on the occasion of the presentation of his Yachine trophy by France Football. In the columns of the magazine, Martinez returns to the various controversies between the two camps. In particular the racist chants sung by the Argentine players against the French after the victory in the Copa America. “Some people talk about arrogance or bad behavior. What people say about me doesn't matter to me. When Argentinians do something, it's bound to be horrible… Enzo Fernandez is a charming guy, he's been called racist, but he's not at all. I have no hatred towards France. »

Martinez can't digest the Olympics

Assuring that the French are “adorable”, Martinez is nevertheless critical of the Blue players who played in the Olympic Games, where Martinez was only a spectator. “When they won the 2018 World Cup, they also upset Argentina. It's part of football. They are just rivals for us because they are good. On the other hand, I didn't like what happened at the Olympic Games. The French celebrated in front of our noses, kicked us and called us arrogant. There was anger in them. The supporters pay their ticket, they can do what they want, but the players have crossed the line. There must be respect between professionals. »

Emiliano Martinez who finally returns to the whistles of the French public against him during the Ballon d'Or ceremony. Striking in passing a certain Kylian Mbappé who has already been warned. If he has to make a detour to Argentina, the reception will be very mixed… “My father was a little shocked by the whistles during the Ballon d'Or ceremony last year. That evening, in the stands, there were a few supporters. It’s normal, if Kylian Mbappé receives a trophy in Argentina, no one will congratulate him,” assures Martinez.
