The former Arsenal player served as Argentina’s starting goalkeeper for the competition in Qatar, where he was crowned the competition’s best goalkeeper, taking home the Golden Glove award. Many have openly criticized the goalkeeper as a result of his behavior during the awards ceremony and the bus parade in Buenos Aires, and in response, he has guarded his prize.
He spent over $20,000 on a guard dog that has previously been employed by the US Navy Seals.
Martinez bought his devoted dog from Elite Protection Dogs
The dog is a Belgian Malinois breed, and it will guard his wife, two kids, and the priceless medal and trophy he won. Martinez won the World Cup for Argentina, who hadn’t won the competition since 1986, putting out some truly impressive efforts. While Lionel Messi received most of the attention, Martinez’s abilities were also recognized and appreciated. In the extra period of the championship game versus France, he made a crucial save. Argentina would have lost before the penalties were even taken if he had not made the save.
The US Navy Seals and the SAS have employed the dog in combat, according to the Daily Star, and it can weigh up to 30 kg. Martinez bought his devoted dog from Elite Protection Dogs, which has experience working with well-known clientele. Hugo Lloris of Tottenham, Ashley Cole, a former Chelsea and Arsenal player, and even heavyweight boxing king Tyson Fury have all purchased dogs from them throughout their 35 years of business.
