Emiliano Martinez, the executioner of France in the World Cup final, made headlines again Thursday evening by upsetting Lille supporters. "Dibu" Martinez, among others, distracted Nabil Bentaleb before stopping his attempt, then turning towards the Lille Ultras to demand silence from them with a provocative gesture.
During the match and then during the penalty shootout, he received two yellow cards, without being sent off, in accordance with the regulations which he himself seemed to ignore. 'An attitude which is not that of a very high-level athlete,' said Olivier Létang, president of Losc, eliminated by the English club on penalties despite the 2-1 victory. Ludovik Obraniak, former player of the northern club, consultant for the L'Équipe channel, did not appreciate the behavior of the Aston Villa goalkeeper and even lost his temper by insulting him. "Martinez eats your dead," said he launched on the social network.
