The title of the Argentine national team in Qatar 2022 it is impossible to explain without Draw Martínez. The goalkeeper went from a beloved player to an idol due to his impressive saves throughout the games, but also due to his incredible role in the decisive shoot-outs against the Netherlands and France. His figure was such that the Albiceleste goalkeeper intimidated rivals with his mere presence, something that he himself noticed in rivals like Aurelien Tchouameni.

In dialogue with Star +, the world champion recalled different moments that made him an eternal hero of Argentine soccer. Among them, he talked about the penalty that the young Frenchman from Real Madrid missed, who crossed his shot too far and didn’t even hit the goal, and revealed what was the thought that crossed his mind when he saw it: “Look at this guy’s face, Tell me he’s not nervous,” he began.
After saving Kingsley Coman’s penalty, Dibu began with its classic games to distract the rivals. Along those lines, the Argentine goalkeeper brought the ball closer to Tchouameni, but he threw it away when the Real Madrid midfielder approached to take it. In the end, it became evident that all those psychological moments influenced the 20-year-old boy to take a shot in the world final: “He was dead, I said ‘if he misses, we are champions,'” Martínez acknowledged.
“And he came looking up, looking at the people, the boy was very nervous, and I had practiced it with my psychologist, if I manage to save one, I make life impossible for the next. And if he went to the goal, I saved it, “It was mine. I had thrown it really well, if I touched it, I would take it out,” he added later. However, not even that was necessary for the best goalkeeper in the world, who celebrated with a dance that went down in history.
