Adrián Martínez had his five minutes of fame this Thursday after

the reckless entry

on Lionel Messi that not only stopped the match between Venezuela and Argentina for the Qualifiers for the Qatar World Cup 2022, but also paralyzed the football planet due to fear of a serious injury of the new crack of PSG. Luckily, the kick on the left leg did not pass to greater - beyond the limp when arriving at San Pablo, Brazil -, and the

Flea was

able to complete the 90 minutes. Unlike his attacker, of course, who was first incredibly admonished by the Uruguayan referee Leodán González, but at the request of the VAR he went non-stop to the showers.

Now the time of repentance has arrived for the experienced 28-year-old defender, who plays for Deportivo La Guaira, of the first division of Venezuelan soccer.

On Friday afternoon he published a tweet in which he assures that he had no bad intention, to co and in which he apologizes to everyone ... except Messi.

"Today I have no words," starts Martinez in his post.

And he continues: "Those who know me know that I would never go against the physical integrity of a colleague."

Today I have no words.



Those who know me know that I would never go against the physical integrity of a colleague.



I just want to apologize to the coaching staff, my teammates and all the Vinotinto fans who support us from the bottom of their hearts.



I love my country and I take my responsibility.

So far so good.

He then began the round of regret for his action that left Venezuela with 10 just two minutes after entering the field of play to replace his teammate Velázquez, who had been injured second before in a chase of Di María.

"I just want to apologize to the coaching staff, to my teammates and to all the Vinotinto fans that support us from the heart. I love my country and assume my responsibility," said Martínez, who omitted Messi at the time of his request for forgiveness.

Striking, although not so much because he did not approach to ask how he was when the PSG man was rolling on the floor in pain.

Before this message, at noon on Friday, the first public message from the Venezuelan soccer player's environment had appeared.

"All our support for you, because this is what it is about, being in good and bad times, applauding the virtues and recognizing the failures to move forward," the agency that represents him wished him through Twitter.

With their eyes set on Sunday's game against Brazil, the Argentine National Team arrived in São Paulo to prepare for the game against the leader of the South American Qualifiers.

In his first image of the day for the press, Messi was somewhat annoyed by Martinez's kick, a situation typical of that type of blows in which the muscles get cold and the pain becomes stronger.

He was seen limping on his way from the bus to the hotel but it is believed that he will not have major problems playing against Neymar's.
