Pinilla attacks ‘Dibu’ Martínez: “Who is to make fun of Mbappé?”

The celebrations, comments, songs and attitudes of Emiliano Martínez, after being crowned world champion, have been strongly criticized not only by sports media, but also by soccer figures. This Monday, the former forward of the Chilean team, Mauricio Pinilla, joined this wave of reproaches.

In his usual program on the ESPN Chile network, the now sports commentator attacked the goalkeeper of the Argentine team. If I, the goalkeeper, am going to walk with a little baby (baby) with the face of a guy who put four shots out of four into my goal, I neither show up nor hold him in my arms, ”he began.

Then he compared the attitudes of ‘Dibu’ with those of the Chilean players after winning the 2015 and 2016 Copa América. “When we were two-time champions of America, we didn’t go around with photos of Messi or anything. Who am I to make fun of Messi?” added the commentator.

Finally, a little more upset, he ignored the ‘Best World Cup goalkeeper’ and assured that, in contrast to Mbappé, the mark he leaves on football will not be lasting. “Who is Dibu Martínez? Who is to make fun of Mbappé? He will surely be a world icon. Of him, they will surely remember that he covered a couple of penalties ”, concluded Pinilla
