GettyWHAT HAPPENED?
The Aston Villa shot-stopper saw his stock soar when helping the Albiceleste to Copa America glory in 2021. He helped to successfully defend that crown in 2024, while also becoming a World Cup winner at Qatar 2022 – with a reputation being earned as a penalty-saving specialist.
GettyWHAT OTAMENDI SAID
Otamendi, who formed part of Argentina’s squad at the 2024 Olympic Games, has told TNT Sports of Martinez’s transformation: “Dibu was a very quiet goalkeeper, he wasn’t what he is now. After Colombia [at the 2021 Copa America] he changed completely, we found another version of him. I don’t know if his brother, who is very similar, started to play as a goalkeeper or what, but that’s when he started to change. He has a terrible personality!”
