A nightmare for the French team since the 2022 World Cup final, Emiliano Martinez has found a good lawyer in Geronimo Rulli.
This Saturday in the columns of L’Equipe, the new number one goalkeeper of OM decided to rehabilitate his sulphurous Argentine compatriot. A “Dibu” that France has cursed since the cruel scenario of the 2022 World Cup final.
That evening, after having thwarted Kolo Muani on a final golden opportunity in extra time, the Albiceleste goalkeeper had been detestable during the penalty shootout, doing everything possible to destabilize the Blues – to the point of having pushed Fifa to establish a stricter framework in this exercise since then.
“I couldn’t do what he does.”
All this without counting his deplorable – even vulgar – attitude during the celebrations… ” When it comes to competition, he wants to win and he will do anything to beat you. “, admits Geronimo Rulli. The new last Marseille bulwark who admits to being incapable of acting in this way. ” I have my own routine, I wouldn’t be able to do what he does before a penalty shootout. Not because I don’t like it, but because at that moment I’m thinking about something else. We study penalty shootouts a lot, and before this final too, nothing was down to chance, we had trained a lot. »
However, Geronimo Rulli assures us: ” I am very good friends with him, we have a great relationship, and I understand very well what “Dibu” provokes in others. But if you really know him, he is a great person. (…) He is a very, very good person. »
