With the joy of winning the World Cup two years ago still fresh in his ears, Argentina's goalkeeper, Damian Martinez, disclosed his dedication to soccer and his deep sense of honor in an official interview with the national team.
Facing the camera, Martinez's eyes were firm and his voice low: "I swear that as long as I can win two more World Cups hand in hand with Argentina, my career will come to an end. This is what I promise here, in the most solemn manner. If I get what I want, I will choose to retire after the next World Cup."
Referring to the moment he won the 2022 title, his words were tinged with undisguised excitement and emotion: "The victory bell rang, I stepped into the locker room, Romero and Marito's tears moistened my eyes, and my heart turned over. I told them that it was over, that I had reached my dream. The World Cup title will always be the highest honor in my heart."
He continued: "In the dressing room, I walked past Dybala with tears in my eyes and hugged him tightly. At that moment, the hardship and challenge of the English league came over me like a tidal wave, and I cried like a child again. All the hard work was released in this moment and all the dedication paid off for the best."
