There was a small incident at the world football election in Paris. Moderator Didier Drogba was forced to speak out.
Curious incident during the election of the world footballer in Paris. Before the best male and female player of the year were awarded, one of the things to do was to award the best goalkeeper.
The Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez received the so-called “Trophée Yachine”, also for his outstanding performance in the 2022 World Cup final against France.
When a highlight video with Martinez’s best scenes flickered across the large screen in the hall, there was a scandal. One shot showed the keeper parrying against France’s Kolo Muani in the World Cup final shortly before the penalty shootout.
There were then numerous whistles and boos for the goalkeeper – after all, he had denied France their third World Cup title and had allowed himself to be carried away with one or two provocations in the final.
As soon as he arrived at the Théâtre du Châtelet, Martinez was booed by onlookers around the red carpet.
Moderator Didier Drogba, formerly a top striker at Chelsea FC and a personal bogeyman at FC Bayern, was forced to speak out – and remind the guests in the hall to treat the award winner with respect.
