They say the only thing harder than winning a title is keeping it, and Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez seems to understand that well.
"Divo", Aston Villa's goalkeeper, recently returned to England with the gold medal from winning the World Championship in Qatar, with great fear of the possibility of robbers breaking into his home and trying to steal the medal.
Therefore, as a first step to protect the one dearest to him, Martins turned to the security company "Elite Portaction Dogs", and purchased a dog of the Belgian Malinois breed, the Belgian equivalent of a German shepherd, for no less than 22,500 euros.

This is a trained guard dog, which is used by the sea lions of the American military, and dogs of this type participated in the capture of the arch-terrorist Osama bin Laden.
Martins is not the only athlete in England who has purchased a dog of this type to protect his assets.
He joins Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, former defender Ashley Cole and boxing champion Tyson Fury.
Now with a dog weighing 30 kilos, which is trained to participate in battlefields, Martins can be a little more relaxed, because according to the spokesperson of the security company: "There are ordinary dogs and there is the Belgian Malinois"
