The meeting between Argentina and Uruguay left a very good image. After the match against Bolivia in the Monumental has been lost, now Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez had his first great meeting with the Argentine public and received the first great ovation of his career in the Selection.
The Aston Villa goalkeeper from England is one of the most loved by fans, something that was seen from social networks with his performances in the America’s Cup. Also his dance on penalties against Colombia and the continuous attitudes made him one of the most beloved on the field. “Draw, Draw, Olé, Olé, Olé, Olé, Draw, Draw”, he exploded when he entered the warm-up in the arc that overlooks the lower Sívori stalls of the Monumental stadium. Martinez raised his arms and hit his chest, touching the area of his heart and returned the affection.
“The four of England decided to go for the love of the shirt. As much as those of the Premier did not want to come, we decided to travel the same,” he said at the time. That gesture reaffirmed his figure and the bond with the people, having the National Team above the particular interests of European clubs and this was recognized by all when he jumped onto the pitch.
