Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez revealed on Friday that captain Lionel Messi warned him once more towards the controversial World Cup Golden Glove ceremony.
During the award ceremony, Martinez celebrated the mistaken means after being introduced with the Golden Glove.
“Do I regret celebrating? Well, there are some things I will not do the same way again,” Martinez was quoted as saying by France Football.
“I did not got down to harm anyone. Throughout my profession, I’ve performed with French guys and I’ve by no means had any issues… You can ask Giroud what sort of individual I’m. I Really just like the French tradition and mentality. The gesture I made with the perfect goalkeeper trophy was a joke with my team-mates. I had already executed it on the Copa America, they usually all stated to me: ‘Some means’ No’ to do it once more. Even Leo advised me. I did it for him, nothing extra. It lasted a second and that was it.
FIFA on Friday opened a disciplinary case towards the Argentine Football Association for alleged offensive participant misconduct and breaches of honest play on the World Cup closing.
FIFA cited its media and advertising guidelines for pleading the case, which seems to be associated to a grand celebration by gamers operating by means of the interview space after the sport on 18 December.
