Emiliano Martines is considered an expert when the opponent executes a penaltywho is, among other things, often in the spotlight for his behavior.
The Argentine goalkeeper and world champion revealed what had happened in Aston Villa’s game with Manchester United at “Old Trafford” and the mind game, and not trash talking, when Bruno Fernandes went to take the penalty and not Cristiano Ronaldo.
“I saw Ronaldo disappointed and not talking. I thought there was some tension here and decided to exploit it!”, admits the international goalkeeper on the program “Behind The Game”, on the official channel of the Premier League.
“He (Ronaldo) didn’t want to do it and I said to Cavani, why doesn’t he take that on. I never trash talk. I cause chaos. It was the 92nd minute of the match, and I did everything to prevent them from winning the game. Bruno had not missed a penalty for almost 25 executions. Messi had told me that when I move constantly on the goal line, I don’t allow the opponent to concentrate. I danced because I didn’t want to dance. I’ve never practiced on it. I don’t know how I do it, it was spur of the moment…“, admitted the much-discussed goalkeeper who was one of Argentina’s heroes in winning the World Cup in Qatar.
