Nu . No wonder the fans are lamenting that a good goalkeeper can top half of the team!

are all rushing for penalty kicks. Fans are already looking forward to the goalkeeper duel
Argentina and Netherlands The moment the penalty shootout ended, when the Argentine players were all running towards Lautaro , only Messi ran towards the goalkeeper Dami excitedly Ann Martinez. Compared with Messi's goals, he who has saved Van Dijk and Boguis penalty kicks successively is the patron saint of Argentina's World Cup championship dream, and also the patron saint of Messi's dream.
Damian Martinez is the "big Martin" in the mouth of Chinese fans. In fact, he is 5 years younger than Messi, but he only became Argentina's main goalkeeper in 2020. In the 2021 Copa America , it was three penalty kicks saved in the semi-finals that allowed Messi to win the championship in the national team. In the quarter-finals with Australia, he also made a key save before the finale, which kept the way forward for the Argentine team.

He not only made 11 wonderful saves against Brazil, but also saved Brazil's first penalty in the penalty shootout. In the previous penalty shootout with Japan's , he saved three penalties. After the game, Livakovic was made a super goalkeeper with 6 hands by his club Dinamo Zagreb, P.

The No. 8 that Enrique didn’t know was actually well-known in Ligue 1
After the Spanish team was eliminated in the quarter-finals, the then coach Enrique marveled at the “Moroccan No. 8 player”: “This guy is Where did he come from? He played really well, which surprised me.” In the quarter-final match between Morocco and Portugal, Unahi played brilliantly again and helped the team eliminate Portugal. Famous commentator Huang Jianxiang mentioned that No. 8 and No. 4 in the Moroccan team's starting lineup are the absolute core players and play an irreplaceable role. According to technical statistics, Unahi successfully passed 3 times and intercepted 3 times in this game. The pass success rate was as high as 80%, and there were two key passes. The data has a clear advantage in the team.
What is even more surprising is that Unahi is only 22 years old this year, and his worth is only 3.5 million euros. He only made his national team debut in January this year. The World Cup in Qatar has already made him famous, and his future is limitless.
In fact, Unaxi is not an unknown person. He played for the Ligue 1 team Angers , but Angers is currently ranked last in Ligue 1, with 2 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses in 15 games. Fortunately, Unaxi has performed very well in the club this season, especially ranking second in the passing list after Messi. Last season, he played 32 times in Ligue 1, including 16 starts and scored 2 goals. This season, he played 14 times and 13 starts.
Unahi is characterized by outstanding skills at his feet and a very good sense of the ball. Some British media even wrote a special article, recommending Premier League team Arsenal to buy this player. The value of the Moroccan boy will definitely skyrocket after the World Cup wheel. According to the French media "L'Equipe", Lille , ranked 7th in Ligue 1, has long been interested in signing him after the winter transfer window opens. However, Unaxi's thin body is also relatively prominent. He weighs only 62GK when he is 182cm tall. If he wants to improve his career, he still needs to train his body to be stronger.
