They signed him for his kick to Messi: Always Ready hired Adrián Martínez | VIDEO

You may not remember the name of Adrián Martínez immediately, but he is that defender of the Venezuela national team that almost “breaks” Lionel Messi in a match of Qualifying Qatar 2022. The defender, recently, has just been signed by Bolivia’s Always Ready and will play the Copa Libertadores.

Adrian Martinez, 28, left La Guaira from his country to emigrate. In 2021 he was summoned by the ‘Vinotinto’ to play the Copa América and other matches of the Qualifiers: seven in total. In one of them, he gave a brutal kick to the ‘Flea’ that almost seriously injured him. Of course, post review of the VAR was expelled.

Always Ready, current runner-up in Bolivian soccer, decided to take over his services for the 2022 season where he will play the local tournament and the top club competition in South America. “An outstanding warrior joins the Band. Welcome Adrián Martínez, central defender of the Vinotinto National Team “, posted the club on Instagram.

The curious thing about the video presentation of Adrian Martinez was that he not only shows his crosses and interceptions at the time of scoring, but also his strong foul on Lionel Messi.

Apologized

“Today I have no words. Those who know me know that I would never go against the physical integrity of a colleague “said the defender post Venezuela vs. Argentina.

“I just want to apologize to the coaching staff, my teammates and all the Vinotinto fans who support us from the bottom of their hearts. I love my country and I assume my responsibility “added.
