Emiliano Martínez commented on his save vs. Randal Kolo Muani in the World Cup final saying that he did not think it was that good of a save.
Martínez made a World Cup winning save in the final for Argentina against France. Speaking on an interview with Ben Foster on Fozcast, Martínez explained his thought process behind the save. Here is what he had to say:
“I didn’t think it was that good the save. I made better saves than that.
“I expected Otamendi to miss the ball. I was having a comfortable game. I am calm because I am already expecting him (Otamendi) to miss it
I remember Di María scoring against Brazil at the Maracana when Ederson came out and Di María just lobbed it over him…
“If you’re running, he’s going to lob it… That came to my head. I said I am staying.”
Equi Fernández and Cristian Medina will be going to the Olympics with Argentina.
Fernández and Medina will reportedly be in France with the Argentina Olympic team. According to Gastón Edul, the Boca Juniors players will be going to the Olympics.
Kevin Zenón has been called up to the team for the friendly matches preparing for the Olympics but his presence at the tournament is not confirmed.
“My exclusion from Copa America? I think I’ve done some great things this season, I was confident of being called up so it was a blow to me.
“I also think it’s hard for coaches to have to choose. I respect Scaloni’s decision, I have a very good relationship with him and he definitely made the decision for the sake of the team.”
The Argentine also spoke about AS Roma’s season and leaving Italy:
“No one likes to get sixth place. We had the team to do better than that. We played very well but in the end we finished sixth and I am not satisfied. We could have done more.
“De Rossi? He loves Argentina, he is still very close to Boca Juniors and that world of Argentine football. I’m sure he’ll want to go back there to coach. Let’s see what happens.
“I hope he can have a successful career as a coach and that he can stay in Europe for a long time to win trophies, build great teams and continue to do what he is doing. He deserves it.
“My future? I have been in Italy for almost 12 years and I am living an incredible moment. It’s hard for me to see myself far from Italy because I became a man here. Italy has me from everything.
“It would be difficult to leave but of course there is also the curiosity to find out how I could behave in important leagues like La Liga and Premier League.
“I want to win. I was lucky to have had the chance to win all the trophies. Sometimes I won and sometimes I lost. My regret is related to the defeats in the European finals.
“I have never won a Champions League or the Europa League but this will remain my goal. I want to win everything I can with Roma. Winning is not important, it’s the only thing that matters.”
