World champion Emiliano Martinez, keeper of the Argentina national team’s den, has received an expensive new dog to protect him and his family.
England player, Aston Villa, has sparked controversy due to his loud championship celebration, the most prominent of which was holding a doll with the face of his rival in the match, Kylian Mbappe on it.
The British newspaper “Daily Star” reported that the 30-year-old guard bought a dog “Belgian Malino”, which weighs 30 kilograms, and was trained in a US Navy camp.
The company that sold the dog to Martinez has 35 years of experience supplying trained dogs to the rich and famous, and its price tag was around £20,000. His other football clients include Hugo Lloris of Tottenham and the French national team, and former Chelsea star Ashley Cole.
The French sports minister has confirmed that he will contact his Argentine counterpart due to the ridicule suffered by French striker Kylian Mbappe from Emiliano during the party of ‘Tango’ players after their arrival in the capital, Buenos Aires, and from ‘EMI’ the celebrations also sparked angry reactions from former French players, notably Patrick Vieira and Adel.
