“Indecent Vincents” to the Argentina national football team
French sports minister Amelie Udea Castera criticized the attitude of Argentine players who won the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar on the 23rd (local time).
In an interview with RTL Radio that day, minister Udea Castera highlighted the actions that Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez (30, Aston Villa) had done to French striker Kylian Mbafe (24, Paris Saint-Germain).
Martinez provoked in the locker room after the final, demanding a minute’s silence over Mbappé’s death.
Then, in the World Cup victory parade held in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, he carried a doll with Mbappe’s face on it.
Minister Udea Castera called the behavior of the Argentina national team “bad, inappropriate and out of context” and called them “disrespectful winners”.
Towards Martinez, he complained that he was “pathetic”.
Earlier, French Football Federation (FFF) president Noël Grerae said he had sent a letter of protest to the Argentine team, claiming the actions taken during the World Cup winning ceremony were excessive.
Mbappe scored a total of eight goals in the Qatar World Cup to become the “top scorer”.
He scored two goals in the second half of the final and one goal in the second half of the final against Argentina to turn the mood of a grim defeat, but France eventually lost to Argentina 4-2 on penalties.
