Emiliano Martínez has stated that he is looking for something to better himself.

Martínez gave an interview with BPlay where he spoke about how he had insomnia for three months after his save against Randal Kolo Muani in the 2022 World Cup final. In the same interview, Martínez commented on how he is continuing to want to improve. Here is what he had to say:

“I work with my psychologist. I’m a world champion, I won four Golden Gloves, two The Best and two Yashin for the best goalkeeper in the world.”

“I’m looking for something to better myself. I’m missing things that make me push myself to keep fighting against me. Today, it’s Dibu against Dibu. I made it to the top and… how did you fight against that?”

“It’s hard to get to the top and, once you get there, you say…. ‘what do I do now?’ The best example is Leo. He’s still striving after winning the Ballon d’Or at 37 years of age.”

“It’s a team victory, because we played as a team and that’s why we minimized Brazil. It is the only way to beat these players. I think we played great matches and the important thing is to know how to interpret each one.

“There will be games in which we will suffer and others in which we will not. We have to show that we are capable of playing in different circumstances.

“It’s hard to put pressure on such a technical team. I think the quick goal helped them open up a little more. We were able to occupy the spaces better, especially with this type of players, who are all adapting very well.

“There are still things to do and many things can happen. We are going call up by call up, enjoying being there.

“I want people to enjoy this moment. We don’t know how long it will last, but at some point, it will take a turn.

“Hopefully, it lasts a long time, but in the meantime, let’s enjoy how these guys play. We will keep trying.”

Scaloni also spoke about the comments Raphinha made before the match:

“I forgive Raphinha because I know he didn’t do it on purpose, he’s defending his country. I’m completely sure he didn’t mean to hurt anyone.

“There’s no need for statements for the game to be played this way. We didn’t play like this because of that.”
