Argentina cries: Unusual position of Dibu Martínez in the 2024 Ballon d’Or

Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez was on the final list for the 2024 Ballon d’Or. The goalkeeper of the Argentine National Team deserves to be in this position after being the starter in the Premier League with Aston Villa and being the current champion of the World Cup and Copa América 2024. The Argentine goalkeeper establishes himself as one of the best of the world in its position.

Despite that label and its recognition in the world, Dibu Martínez is also known for his gestures out of context and any type of competition. On several occasions he has been seen in a bad light with comments and reactions that turn into mockery and insults towards rivals, as has happened repeatedly with the Colombian National Team.

That lowers points before the entities that regulate football in South America and the world, in addition to sharpening a rivalry beyond the fields with players or teams. Colombia is a witness to this, as it fought with the National Team since the 2021 Copa América, with the provocation of several footballers in a definitive penalty shootout that made it famous around the world.

That time, with the “I come and eat you, brother”, Dibu Martínez eliminated the Colombia National Team in the semifinals of the 2021 Copa América and from that moment, Franco Armani lost his position and Emiliano consolidated himself as Argentina’s starter. He is already a two-time Copa América champion and a world champion in Qatar 2022. Things continued and recently, there was another unmissable show.

How did Dibu Martínez do at the Ballon d’Or gala?

This October 28, the Ballon d’Or ceremony will be held in Paris, where the winner of such an award will be defined among Rodri and Vinicius. As time progresses, the organization gives the names from oldest to youngest. That is, the last known will be number one.

Very quickly the name of Emiliano Martínez, He was not among the top 10, nor among the 15, but he was in the Top 20. More precisely, the Argentine goalkeeper occupied box 18 in the Ballon d’Or gala. Deserved?

More conflicts between Draw Martínez and Colombia

Things continued Draw Martínez vs. Colombia National Team. As if that were not enough, in the September event for the Conmebol Qualifiers in Barranquilla, he attacked a cameraman and could not sustain his anger after the victory of Néstor Lorenzo’s machine against the Argentine National Team.

This kind of thing would make him lose points against the organizations or the journalists who vote, since their quality would allow them to be among the 15. Or what do you say?

This aggression caused a strong sanction from FIFA and in the October games of the Qualifiers, He was not with the Argentine team. For his part, he enjoys ownership at Aston Villa in the Premier League.
