Following the suspension until further notice of the Brazil-Argentina meeting in the framework of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Albiceleste goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was questioned by the Argentinian press at the airport of Buenos Aires to react to the decision taken by the referee and the Brazilian health agency.

The 29-year-old goalkeeper does not understand ANVISA's decision and even believes that the meeting was interrupted for reasons other than health.

“It's a bitter feeling. We prepared for three days in Brazil to play and after a few minutes the match was canceled (...) for political reasons. If they had warned us when we arrived in Brazil, there wouldn't have been so much chaos. It's a shame, a shame because we were going to win, ”said the Aston Villa goalkeeper.
