72 hours after the exciting winning of the "World Goalkeeper of the Year" title, goalkeeper of the world champion Argentina, Emiliano Martinez, gave an interview to 'TYC' where he told about the dramatic moments in the World Cup in Qatar.
On the obscene movement he performed on stage after receiving the tournament's goalkeeper award in Qatar: "I'm not proud of this matter, but it was an intervention that just before the awarding of the Golden Glove, the members of the team said to me, 'You don't have the courage to do the same thing as in the Copa America.' So I answered ' That I have courage. They are to blame, my teammates."

"They asked me if I would also do it with the FIFA award, but I didn't agree. It was an official event with a suit, on a soccer field when there is adrenaline, so anything is possible. The only thing that interested me on stage was not to burst into tears."
On the huge save in the 123rd minute against France in the World Cup final: "Really? I didn't understand its importance at that moment because it was so fast. We went on a passing attack and almost Lautre Martinez scored on the other side. I didn't appreciate my save at that moment, I just wanted to make it smaller The angle of vision. I wanted the bullet to hit me in the face, I didn't care where. I closed my eyes, stiffened my whole body and just prayed."

"After Gonzalo's penalty I actually fainted. I wanted to run and hug him and I just couldn't. It was the first time in my life that I collapsed, I grabbed my head and didn't know what to do. I saw Leo Messi after that and the first thing I did was thank him for making me a world champion. People don't know what He is for us - the players in the Argentina national team."
