Emiliano Martines: ‘Our advantage is that we have Messi, the best player in the world’

THE Emiliano Martines he was the player who represented Argentina at the press conferences leading up to the last two titles, the Copa America against Brazil and the Finalissima against Italy, who also ‘sent’ him to the press conference ahead of the World Cup final against France to achieve something like that … hackneyed the good.

In it, the Albiceleste goalkeeper made it clear that he doesn’t like being awarded the title of favorite for his side and made special mention of Lionel Messi who claimed he is the best in the world and the advantage for the Albiceleste against any opponent.

“I never like it when people say which team is the favorite and which isn’t. We never feel like we’re superior to a team or vice versa. As I’ve always said, our advantage is that we have the best player .” in the world.

I never thought I would see a better player than the Messi I saw at the 2021 Copa America but the truth is he is even better at this World Cup

I see him very happy. He plays very well and gives energy to the whole team. He’s excited, full of joy and that helps us a lot.” Martines pointed out to add:

“We feel like we’re the hosts, that we’re playing in Argentina. The crowd’s support helped us get through the ugly game against Saudi Arabia in the opening game.

We analyzed France, they are an opponent that we could find against us in the round of 16. They were champions at the last World Cup and we’re not just talking about one player.

They are very dangerous in goalscoring, they have great defenders, top players, a great goalkeeper and in general a great national team.

In the closing stages of the 2014 World Cup, I barbecued for my family. At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, I was in the stands with my brother and told him that I would be at the next World Cup.”
