In the run-up to the match between Chile and Argentina by Qualifying for Qatar 2022, the goalkeeper of the albiceleste team, Emiliano Martínez, had to undergo many check-ups due to the coronavirus, at the Calama Airport, the city where La Roja will be local.

Due to the discomfort felt by the Aston Villa goalkeeper, he made a publication of the Chilean flag with an emoji that many Chileans considered offensive. After the criticism, the publication was deleted by the footballer.

The controversy even reached the Chilean authorities. The Minister of the Interior, Rodrigo Delgado, criticized what was done by the Argentine player: “Maybe they don’t know: Chile has reached the numbers it has, it has reached world leadership in vaccination, in testing, in traceability, precisely because of the work of those same health officials they make fun of “.

Emiliano Martínez will be the starter in the match against Chile, a team that must win in order not to be eliminated from the Qualifiers for Qatar 2022. La Roja comes to this match after losing 2-0 in Santiago against Ecuador.

Without Lionel Messi

With the peace of mind of having secured his classification in the previous double date, Scaloni decided not to count on Messi for these matches. His position could be occupied by various footballers: the Sevilla player ‘Papu’ Gómez and Nicolás González sound, although the one who has the advantage is the Juventus striker, Paulo Dybala.

In the absence of Messi, Ángel Di María will be the captain of the Albiceleste team, current champion of the continent. It should be remembered that this is not the first time that the attacker has worn the belt with the Argentine National Team, since he has already done so five times.
