Argentine players 'silent' Mbappe

Published:2022-12-19 By Meta(MetaSports) Comments
Qatar Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez first called his teammates to mock Kylian Mbappe in the dressing room, as he celebrated the 2022 World Cup championship.

There were more than 10 players and members of the Argentina team dancing in the dressing room after the game. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez led the team, suddenly stopped and shouted: "Let's take a minute of silence to remember Mbappe. He's dead".

Many players laughed and then continued to dance with Martinez. Captain Lionel Messi does not appear in this group.

Goalkeeper Martinez also danced after blocking Kingsley Coman's penalty kick. When receiving the "Best Goalkeeper of the World Cup 2022", he also placed the reward between his legs and leaned forward.

In another video, former striker Sergio Aguero also chanted: "One minute of silence for Mbappe", as teammates danced behind in the dressing room.

Mbappe once controversially said in early 2022 that: "South American football is not as developed as Europe, looking at the recent results in the World Cup is to see". The Argentine players saw that as part of the motivation for the final against France. Before the match, goalkeeper Martinez himself said: "Mbappe doesn't know enough about football. Mbappe has never played in South America. When you haven't had this experience, it's better not to talk about it."

Mbappe scored a hat-trick to help France draw 3-3 with Argentina, but lost 2-4 on penalties. France was dethroned, and Argentina became the first South American team to win the World Cup since 2002 with Brazil's title. In the 22 World Cups that have taken place, South American teams have won 10 times, two fewer titles than Europe.

Aguero is not part of the Argentina squad for the World Cup, because he retired at the end of 2021 due to a heart condition. But the former striker was still invited to celebrate the cup with Argentina, and celebrated in the team dressing room. Also in celebration, Aguero said: "This time for Camavinga, because of its horse face".

Eduardo Camavinga came on in the 71st minute of the 2022 World Cup final to play left-back instead of Theo Hernandez. The 20-year-old midfielder has three successful tackles and one foul. On social networks, many people do not understand why Aguero is talking about Camavinga. Aguero hangs up his shoes in the Barca shirt, and Camavinga is playing for Real Madrid.
