The World Cup hangover continues after Argentina and their third star finally put an end to a long 36-year unbeaten run. Thanks to outstanding players such as Emiliano Dibu Martínez, who played an outstanding role in goal, which gave him the opportunity to win the individual trophy, the Golden Glove of this edition of the 2022 World Cup.

Martinez received this recognition in the midst of a great controversy, since the 30-year-old goalkeeper went down in history with a painful image that outraged the football world. In the wake of this, former Liverpool legend Graeme Souness spoke out, saying that Dibu's behaviour was totally disrespectful to his opponents and the hosts themselves.

The Scotsman, who played for The Pool in the 70's and 80's, said that his actions during the World Cup on the pitch can be tolerated, but what he did when he received the Golden Glove trophy is unacceptable. "I can accept those antics, to a certain extent. But what we should be talking more about is the rude gesture he made after collecting his trophy for best goalkeeper of the tournament."

"Are there really people who find this funny, to me, Martinez embarrassed himself and embarrassed his country. He looked like a vulgar clown. If that's what he wants to be remembered for, God help us all. I like him as a goalkeeper, in Argentina and at Aston Villa in the Premier League. But hopefully he thinks very carefully about what he did, as it was appropriate. This is unbelievable," Souness added.

Dibu Martinez will not play against Liverpool

The 69-year-old Englishman recommended that these types of players should not be at a top club like Liverpool, as they indirectly tarnish the team they are at, which in this case is Aston Villa, who, paradoxically, will host the Reds at Villa Park on Monday as the Premiership resumes after the FIFA World Cup break.
