Emiliano Martinez, the goalkeeper of Argentina’s 2022 world champion team, dreams of winning the Olympics, even if he has no intention of upsetting Javier Mascherano’s U23 team which recently qualified for Paris 2024 .
After the 2021 Copa América and the 2022 World Cup, Argentina will try to win the men’s football tournament of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games next summer (from July 24 to August 10, in seven cities in France). After the qualification of the Albiceleste U23 during the South American TQO, with a victory against Brazil (1-0), last Sunday in Venezuela, an entire population is awaiting the participation of Lionel Messi.
Javier Mascherano is ready to deal with his Ballon d’Or record-holding friend. The coach of the Argentine Espoirs also knows that Emiliano Martinez, the goalkeeper of the world champions in Qatar, also dreams of winning an Olympic medal, even if he assures that “ no goalkeeper stands out like Messi “. The Aston Villa player made this clear to Argentine media, DB Sport.
Martinez doesn’t want to take anyone’s place
“ I watched the final against Brazil, I liked the team. There’s something I miss with the Argentinian selection, it’s winning the Olympic Games. The young people need this chance and we have the Copa América to win. We must give them space. If they are in a good dynamic, there is no need to change the hierarchy among young people », Says the 31-year-old.
“Dibu” Martinez is therefore focusing on the next Copa América, scheduled from June 20 to July 14, a competition that he approaches as “ a mini World Cup “, and is in no way planning for the 2024 Games. The goalkeeper will also have to obtain authorization from his club to be absent for two to three weeks, the Olympic football tournament obviously not being scheduled on dates Fifa.
