Emmanuel Petit, critics to Dibu Martinez
The message of Emmanuel Petit came before the new duel between Aston Villa and PSG, after the goalkeeper appeared in Paris carrying a chapter inscribed with the emblems of the titles won by his country.
“He recently said in an interview that he never goes too far. He should go to psychotherapy, consult a psychiatrist, because we do not have the same definition of limits. Honestly, this guy should learn to control emotionally.”Petit said in the podcast Rothen Enflamme.
“It should not be disrespectful, it should not be aggressive, but it seems that every match we are waiting for something moved from him,” said the Frenchman, although he admits that Martinez is an excellent goalkeeper and should not exaggerate at certain times.
“I think he is a very good goalkeeper and he does not need so much additional motivation, but wherever he goes he leaves an irritating image through his behavior. Martinez has gone too far. I am the first to accept that the challenge is part of football and life in general, but it should not fall constantly.”added Petit.
