The Controversial Rise Of Emiliano Martinez

Emiliano Martinez has been dubbed by the French media as the most hated Argentine ever. It all began with the psychological antics he was pulling off during the penalty shootout in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final versus France before his crazy celebrations as well as his constant trolling of France's Kylian Mbappe.
He was absolutely integral to Argentina winning the World Cup as his last minute save in extra time ensured Lionel Messi and Argentina won the World Cup.
The media have literally torn Martinez into shreds by labelling his celebrations as childish, unprofessional and embarrassing. But within this controversy is an inspiring journey to the World Cup final as Martinez only just a few years ago was actually warming Arsenal's bench with no real direction for his career to follow in order to progress.
This is the controversial rise of Emiliano Martinez.

Just want to make one quick correction. At 10:16 I said "Argentina cemented their place in the final". I meant the semifinal not the final. They faced Croatia in the semis before going on to meet France in the final. Sorry for the error.

@@t.s3148 Thank you so much. I really appreciate the support🙏

[@GodofMMA23]

@@IllustroFootball not sure he's the most hated argentine ever, its just recency bias....in England Maradona and simeone are more disliked,,England got knocked out due to a handball goal in 86 and simeone got beckham sent off in 98 (beckhams own fault for rising to it)...martinez is only disliked in Colombia, Holland and France......I wonder why?

[@goat9295]

They can honestly keep crying. If they wanna do the same thing too, then maybe they should’ve won first

[@bennybtv5912]

when France won in 2018 , the only sing about when they won to argentina , in the 16t round , the antics where only with argentina , and then Mbappe talk about how Sudamerican teams where in a low level compare to European , what did they expect ? of course there was going to be a payback.

Football wise, I'm sure the most hated Argentinian is Icardi

[@fredyadam572]

The Ronaldo fans who decided to follow Mbappe hoping he will hurt Messi and French supporters are the once crying out, but Messi fans adores Martinez

they can keep crying all they want..the football world is indebted to him for helping messi with his first copa america and the thing he desired the most..THE WORLD CUP

Nobody hates him but some people are jealous of him. He is a warrior.

[@miguelrojas1594]

You can't hate someone you don't know. The criticism of Dibu Martínez is simply envy.

[@haanis5458]

He doesnt seem like a bad person. He just seems like a very argentinian guy who shows his passion through shithousery. I like him. Its important to have real characters in football. He ouzes personality and passion.

No matter how much the loser cries, the winner decides how to celebrate. The loser should go to a dark corner and cry 😢

Sup bro Your videos are awesome I have some questions. Do you use KZbin clip? And how do you avoid the copywrite claim. Also Where do you find your clip from

[@IllustroFootball]

Yes, I use KZbin clips. I always make sure to use small portions of the videos(about 5 seconds) and since I add my voice to the videos, my work can be considered as transformative.

Jaco Pastorius (the world's best bass player) once said: It is not bragging if you can play it. This applies perfectly here, can't imagine how CR7 would do to win the world cup.

[@Collegelife0]

All I see is a 🐐

[@LordSesshaku]

The most hated argentine ever is Cristina Kirchner, everyone else is just salty due to losing a game.

[@nanoz7734]

yeah thats why half country voted her for vicepresident

[@LordSesshaku]

@@nanoz7734 Half the country voted the illusion of a "moderate" thief because they didn't wanted to accept the reality of not being able to live for free. Cristina had to play a low head, and join the likes of Moyano and Massa in order to barely win. And now here you have the results of a stupid nation, 100% inflation, 12 years of stagflation and the worst salary since 2001. So yeah Nano, half the country is stupid. And the other thinking half hates her. PS: A reminder that when she went alone she lost in PBA against Esteban Bullrich JAJAJAJA PS2: A reminder that after reality striked, even united with Massa, desperate not to go to jail, she lost by more than 10 points nationally.

[@gabrielpirry]

Here in Argentina we love him, and he's a hero to every kid that goes to be a goalkeeper now. Forever immortalized as Dibu Martinez, both the most confident goalkeeper and the one who gave Messi his world cup. Only disliked by grandmas or people with no football soul. This is kinda heavily dramatized. And also, all Europeans (or Mexicans) that criticize him can suck it, hence the celebration at the end. (Note: Imagine being a woman beater like Adil Rami and talking shit about another person, couldn't be me)

[@alphonsoacqua]

Martinez pretending the Golden Glove was his dick in front of a Qatari Emir was one of the highlights of the tournament.

[@snooprhino7936]

[@sajedrocks]

You guys really hate Emi? Let us know.

[@emdi]

Hate is too strong a word. He is interesting, very confident, plays psychological games to win, loyal, strong mentally and yes obnoxious and crude. He probably did what he did to get attention. So hating him means he just got your attention. I don't understand why he had the doll with Kylian's face? Is there a story behind this?

[@cartier5524]

@@emdi yes, someone in the crowd gave the doll to him. It was weird, but also, it wasn't planned

Emi Martinez is AWESOME! End of conversation. 🥉💙

[@Diego-hh8do]

Emi is a fucking CHAD

[@marcocarmona4463]

I honestly think anything he did on the pitch was for the good of the game and the drama. But out of the field and the celebrations while getting the trophy made him out to look like a clown, which he is by acting like a child. Yes, anyone with an ego would do the same, not me, tbh but anyone would want to ridicule award ceremonies, which take forever.

[@francalc8188]

Nobody could support the vulgar celebration of Dibu Martínez. With that Martínez could have lost millions of dollars with sponsors. Maradona also made some vulgar gestures. Hard to be a judge. Martinez will be remember as a vulgar good goalkeeper.
