Dibu
Martínez
was the best goalkeeper at the
2022 Qatar World Cup
and is deservedly the best in the world.
He took the statuette of
The Best
.
No discussions.
Key against Mexico, vital against Australia, huge against the Netherlands, sublime against France.
Everything would have vanished, as in the "Back to the Future" photo, if he hadn't put up the saving grace to cover up Kolo Muani's furious shot and take the final to penalties.
That he doesn't save against a great player in Europe, that he doesn't play in the Champions League, that sometimes the boy inside him comes out...
Nothing at all can invalidate what a great goalkeeper he is.
The best.
The Best
.
Lionel Scaloni
was the best DT in the World Cup and he is deservedly the best in the world.
He built an impressive undefeated.
He received a blow from Saudi Arabia, but with a firm jaw and even stronger convictions, he gave
the
Scaleneta
an identity that surpassed
it with changes of players and the design of specific proposals for each game.
Putting Ángel Di María on the left in the final was a sample of the capacity and study of a coaching staff that did not marry anyone other than the idea of playing well and winning.
Without losing simplicity and humility.
Thinking about continuing to build a team now that
he knows it will continue until 2026
.
Prioritizing, also, the possibility of remaining close to his family in Mallorca while he imagines how to manage what is to come, knowing that the renovation that he carried out in 2018 and the revolution that he produced in 2022 does not have to stop there.
He is a great DT, despite the fact that many considered that his internship would have no future.
And he is 44 years old.
The best.
The Best.

Lionel Messi
was the best in the World Cup and is deservedly the best in the world.
And of history.
We already knew that for a while and it seems that it will continue to be so for a long time.
Because Messi is eternal
and there is nothing more to write about him and about his feats.
At 35 and a half years of age, when most of the football planet is thinking about early retirement, he put on the captain's ribbon and with the light blue and white "10" he
showed that there was nothing impossible for his career that was impossible to match
.
Unlocked the hardest level and brought all the stars on the planet to their knees.
He scored goals in all the defining instances.
And he shredded every one of the challenges that he had ahead of him.
What will be of his future at club level is unknown.
The only thing that is certain is that he will continue to play games with the National Team because no one is going to take away the possibility of representing Argentina as world champion.
Because world champions do what they want.
And
The Best
even more...
The World Cup in Argentina was so good there in Qatar, 13 thousand kilometers away, that even the Argentine fans won the award for the best fans of the year with
El Tula
, their hype, the rebel pants and their endless speech as a letter of presentation.
"Muchachos", which will be the soundtrack of an entire generation, also received its award from FIFA.

The mole was the absence of Dibu Martínez, Enzo Fernández and Ángel Di María and even Julián Álvarez in the FIFPro ideal 11, which players from all over the planet vote for.
Queer.
An ideal eleven with a rare 3-3-4 that brings together a lot of talent, but that seems to have zero balance.
FIFPro, apparently, did not choose the "Ferraris" and the "tsss, tsss" that former goalkeeper Jorge D'Alessandro talks about in El Chiringuito, but prefers to be faithful to the high lineage of the soccer planet.
It doesn't matter too much.
La
Scaloneta
had already conquered the world two months and days ago in Lusail.
How to forget it.
Now the
Scaloneta
returned to conquer the world in the Salle Pleyel in Paris, just a few steps from the Eiffel Tower.
She took all the FIFA awards.
Don't cut it
