He Draw Martinez proved once again that He doesn’t know how to win or how to lose. After his obscene gesture at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Argentine goalkeeper brought out his bad defeat after his team’s 2-1 defeat against James’ Colombia, who were brilliant with a goal and an assist. After the match, the Aston Villa goalkeeper once again set the tone.
Draw Martinez, who sometimes loses his cool, greeted several Colombian players on the pitch, including his teammate at English Aston Villa, Jhon Jader Durán, but at one point He went straight ahead and hit the camera with his hand as they focused on him.. An obscene gesture that is reminiscent of the one he made during the World Cup in Qatar after receiving the championship’s Golden Glove.
SO, As if nothing had happened, Dessin Martínez continued walking and hugging his teammates. What happened was captured by the cameras that broadcast the match played in Barranquilla and quickly uploaded to social networks where it was interpreted by Colombian fans as the gesture of a bad loser.
The Draw provocateur does a lot of dances when he wins but it seems like he doesn’t know how to lose😭😭😭😭
