The striker of the French national team, Randal Kolo Muani, did not mince words when referring to his feelings about Dibu Martínez: "I'm not going to lie; I hate him," he said when he recalled the one-on-one that the Argentine goalkeeper covered in his last
breath of the extra time of the World Cup final in Qatar
that Argentina won on December 18.
"Although I'm a little tired of talking about that play, it's something I won't be able to forget," added the Frenchman about the one-on-one that could have changed the history of the Qatar final.
The statements by the striker for Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany were published this Wednesday by the newspaper Mundo Deportivo 24 hours after the friendly match between Argentina and Panama in which the Albiceleste team will celebrate winning the world title before a crowd at the River stadium.
"That play could have changed my life. I would have preferred to leave it in the background, like everyone else, like all the French, but it happened and these are the vagaries of life. I keep looking at the play and I see that I have a good chance of scoring , but on the pitch everything goes too fast", recalled the 24-year-old striker.
Although, yesterday at the press conference Lionel Scaloni assured that he does not get up every day thinking about that play, Dibu feels in a different way and confessed that every day he goes to sleep he remembers that key cover: "I close the eyes and I think what would have happened if Kilo Muani's came in. I couldn't enjoy it at the time but it was the best save of my career."
