“Much of the debate after the World Cup final focused on the attitude of the Argentine goalkeeper Martinez during the penalty shoot-out. I can accept his behavior, up to a certain point. But what we should talk about more is his attitude rude after receiving the trophy for the best goalkeeper” Souness wrote Daily mail.
“Did anyone find that funny? Martinez embarrassed himself and his country. He looked like a vulgar clown. If he wants to be remembered like that, God help us.”
“I liked him as a goalkeeper, in Argentina and at Aston Villa. But it’s incredible that he thinks what he’s doing is deserved.”
“I don’t understand why he decided to do it in front of everyone’s eyes. What respect does he show for the hosts? Even for himself? Maybe he doesn’t care. Well, he should care. He won’t be so proud in a few years. Unfortunately, that photo it’s now part of the history of the final” Souness said.
