December 24 French Sports Minister Emily-Audea-Castella said that Martinez and other Argentine players to celebrate the behavior is very inappropriate or even vulgar.
Argentina won the championship after beating France in a penalty shootout in the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar. After the game, many Argentine players ridiculed or even insulted French international players such as Mbappe, and Martinez put the trophy on his lower body when he received the Golden Glove award.
Minister Emily Odia Castella said: “I think it’s sad and inappropriate. Although our national team lost, Argentina’s performance after the victory did not match the final we saw, which was obviously inappropriate. Martinez, in particular, some of his actions are vulgar, indecent and quite pathetic. ”
