The Argentina national team returns after the World Cup (video editing: Nir Chen)
In France, Emiliano Martinez's teasing at Argentina's victory celebrations does not calm down.
The world champion goalkeeper, who, as I remember after the World Cup final in Qatar, stopped the train of players dancing in the dressing room for a "minute of silence in memory of Mbappe", went on to do in the victory parade in Buenos Aires, where he appeared with a baby doll with a picture of the fallen face of the French national team striker.
During the open-top bus victory lap, Martinez was photographed with the doll flanked by captain Lionel Messi, who partners with Mbappe at Paris Saint-Germain.
Adil Rami, Mbappe's teammate in the French squad that won the 2018 World Cup, came to his defense on Instagram and praised him for a tournament in which he "terrified" his opponents to such an extent that they "celebrate more the fact that they beat him than winning the World Cup."
The former stopper didn't mince words and called the Argentinian goalkeeper: "The biggest son of a bitch in football. The most hated man there is."
The English journalist Piers Morgan, an associate of Cristiano Ronaldo, took advantage of the opportunity and tweeted against Messi: "Why does Messi allow Martinez to mock and humiliate Mbappe like this? They are teammates at PSG, it's so strange and distasteful."
Journalist Tarik Panja wrote yesterday: "Martinez is doing his best to be one of the worst winners. His behavior is bizarre. It was like that after Argentina got past the Netherlands and now this obsession with Mbappe, who scored a hat-trick against him."

As you know, Martins finished as the best goalkeeper of the World Cup and Mbappe as the top scorer, after the hat trick in the final that placed him with eight in the entire tournament.
He was one goal ahead of Messi, who was of course chosen as MVP of the tournament.
