The Argentine national team He showed a great level in the World Cup in Qatar, but some footballers gave the note with outstanding points, due to the relevance of their interventions and the regularity of the performances. Emiliano Martinez is a clear example. Much of the responsibility for “Dibu” being chosen as the best goalkeeper in the competition is due to Scaloni’s collaborator, Martin Tocalli.
The goalkeeping coach, who also worked alongside Franco Armani, Gerónimo Rulli and Federico Gomes Gerth (the only sparring partner that Scaloni led); he recently spoke of the security it gave him Martínez facing penalties and how he experienced the save in minute 123′.
“Before the definitions by penalties with France, the Back gave me confidence. It gave me peace of mind. He perceived that he was going to do well for us. He felt that he was going to be one of the protagonists, because in 15 seconds, before the definition, he remembered key points that we had talked about. He looked at me and understood me. We both felt the same way and there wasn’t much else to say. He knew that he was going to tackle it, ”he recalled in dialogue with Super Deportivo.
On the great save to Kolo Muani, Martin Tocalli he said that during the play “my heart stopped for two seconds.” Later, returning to the technical part, he expressed: “What I could see from Emiliano (Martínez) is that he stopped very quickly, he covered the ball, it’s not that it bounced off him. He waited until the last second, read the player’s position and saw where the ball went. The pride that I was left with is seeing how the play worked”.
Then he was encouraged to tell more details about the Argentine goalkeeper: “I have known him personally since 2017 and the growth he had in the last two years turned out to be tremendous. He feels like a winner and with the ambition to grow day by day. He has a winning head”.
Finally, he acknowledged that he did not want to ask the goalkeeper for anything as a souvenir: “From the Back I didn’t take anything. I didn’t ask him for anything. I took what he transmitted to me. He had words at certain times, which show all his gratitude. I’ll stick with that. The most important thing is not to appear in a photo or in a video ”.
