Alexis Mac Allister spoke about Emiliano Martínez and his importance to the Argentina national team.
Mac Allister scored a penalty for Argentina in their win vs. Ecuador at the Copa America with Emiliano Martínez making two saves. Mac Allister spoke in an interview on AFA Estudio. Here is what he had to say:
“Dibu is an animal, there is not much to say. He has been showing it for quite some time. He is a character on and off the field. It is very important for us because it gives us that peace of mind. We went to kick afterwards much calmer.
“When you go to kick thinking that you have to score, it is different from when we were in the situation we were in after the two penalties he took. The nervousness is always there, but Dibu always says before each round that he will save one or two. And that gives us peace of mind.”
