The Argentine goalkeeper Dibu Martínez and the Colombian defender Yerry Mina, protagonists of the famous ‘look what you eat, brother’, crossed paths in the tunnel and there was a protocol greeting
During the preview of the Premier League match between Aston Villa and Everton, a rather striking moment occurred. While the players were preparing to take the field, Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez and Yerry Mina met again after what happened in the 2021 Copa América.
And it is that for those who have forgotten, both players had a tense exchange during the penalty shootout of the remembered Argentina-Colombia semifinal for the most important tournament of the continent.
“You’re nervous, huh. You’re laughing but you’re nervous. Play dumb, I already know you. You like dancing. Look how I eat you brother, look how I eat you”, indicated the world champion goalkeeper with the ‘albiceleste’ to the native of Guachemé.
In the end, the Colombian defender missed the shot after being provoked by the Aston Villa goalkeeper, who won the applause of his teammates at that moment due to his work in front of the three sticks.
But, years later, both footballers saw their faces again in a new episode of the English League. On this occasion, with absolute respect -and some coldness-, they kissed and shook hands.

Already in the match, Dibu ended up celebrating with Aston Villa’s 2-0 win over Everton. The goalkeeper also stood out with a great intervention on a header from the Belgian Amadou Mvom Onana with the score 0-0 in the 33rd minute.
Emiliano Martínez took a fantastic fly ball to shoot the ball over the crossbar and move away from danger.
Already entered the match, at 76′ and with his team winning 1-0, the Argentine goalkeeper wanted to gain a few seconds to cool the match and earned the yellow card.
