Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has revealed he has warned goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez not to repeat the same ban he suffered.

The 32-year-old was banned for two matches by FIFA after he breached its code of ethics by holding a replica of the Copa America trophy up to his crotch following a win over Chile on September 5, in a move similar to his World Cup celebration. The Aston

Villa star was also disciplined for his actions following Argentina’s 2-1 defeat to Colombia on September 10, when he slapped a cameraman after the game.

“He expressed his opinion and he got fined, he did it in a respectful and proper way,” Scaloni said. “

As a coach I told my players we hope this won’t happen again. The team cannot do without Dibou or Coutinho Romero. “

They are important players and whether you agree or disagree with the punishment, you cannot do it. “

“In this case, I don’t agree with the punishment. Emiliano has shown himself well and he hopes it won’t happen again. “

Because if not, the worst will happen and they will be punished. But, well, I’m not the one who punishes.”
