Martinez was named the best goalkeeper of the tournament. He also dismissed one of France’s missed kicks which was executed by Kingsley Coman.
The 30-year-old bartender took the stage to accept the Golden Gloves trophy, but then the celebration was a little different.
Martinez went for an abrupt move, where he dropped the trophy in front of his vitals.

“I did it because the French booed me. I can’t handle their arrogance” Martinez said Radio The Net.
Now, another difficult task is immediately hailed by Martinez as Aston Villa host Liverpool at Villa Park on Boxing Day of the English Premier League on Tuesday (27/12) early morning WIB.
