A few days ago the Brazilian Fabinho referred to Kylian Mbappé’s statements in which he assured that football in South America is not that advanced and that for this reason the great favorites in the World Cup were Europeans. The Frenchman from PSG pointed to Argentina and Brazil for not playing “level” games and preparing better to reach the World Cup.
After the reaction of Luis Díaz’s partner, the one who spoke loudly was the Argentine goalkeeper, Emiliano ‘Drawing’ Martinezwho took advantage of the moment to delve into the South American Qualifiers and tell the Frenchman that it is not only difficult to play in Bolivia, but also in Colombia, referring to how complex it is for them to play in Barranquilla.
“Bolivia in La Paz, Ecuador with 30 degrees, Colombia that you can’t even breathe… They always play on perfect fields, wet, and they don’t know what South America is. Every time you travel to the National Team it’s two days between back, you’re exhausted and you can’t train much,” the Argentine told TyC Sports.
The Aston Villa player from England added that “when an Englishman goes to train with England, in half an hour he is at the venue. Let them go to Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador to see how easy it is for them,” he said, challenging Mbappé and who think that the South American Qualifiers is of low level.
Another who had recently reacted to Mbappé’s words was Laurato Martínez, teammate of ‘Dibu’ in the Argentine National Team and Inter striker in Italy. He commented that they were unfair statements because “Argentina and Brazil have players of a great hierarchy, of a great level. Brazil, like us, has the majority who play in Europe.”
