He has won the title of God 4 times in 3 major competitions. He is Argentina’s greatest confidence in competing for the championship and Messi’s number one helper for the national team.

The Argentine national team has achieved the great feat of winning three consecutive international competitions, defended the America's Cup, won the World Cup, and of course there is also a European and American Cup that can be mentioned or not. Why can't it be mentioned? Because the UEFA Nations League, which is participated by all of Europe, has been blacklisted as a friendly match, there is naturally nothing to mention about this event that determines the outcome and does not have a fixed game time and location.

Getting back to the subject, where does the greatest confidence come from for Argentina’s third consecutive competition? I believe most people will blurt out: Messi! But if you think about it carefully, there is one person whose actual contribution is no less than Messi, or even greater. Looking back at these three competitions, you will find a pattern, that is, they all experienced penalty shootouts in the knockout rounds, a total of 4 times, and all passed smoothly. There is no need to doubt that penalty kicks have always been the goalkeeper's stage. The reason why Argentina can successfully pass the penalty kicks every time is that goalkeeper Damian Martinez is undoubtedly the number one contributor.

Martin is a master of point saving, especially when he puts on the Argentina jersey, he is even more brave. He is the most stable part of the team's defense, with a point saving success rate of nearly 50%.

Against the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the World Cup and against France in the final, he saved two penalty kicks from his opponents, giving his teammates who took the penalty kicks great confidence and confidence. Of course, the save of the century at the end of overtime in the final is a classic among classics.

Against Ecuador in the quarter-finals of last year's Copa America, Argentina had a very difficult game and was once at a disadvantage. It was he who saved his opponent's penalty kick during regular time, otherwise Argentina would have fallen behind and been in dire straits. In the penalty shootout, when Messi missed the penalty kick first, it was he who refused his opponent's penalty kicks consecutively, turning the situation around.

Many great goalkeepers in history were masters of penalty kicks, and they all had famous scenes of being crowned gods in penalty shootouts. However, if Martin is the only one who can frequently be crowned gods in major competitions, Toldo will be far behind. Donnarumma may be able to compete with him, but after all, he has not played in a World Cup match. As for Martin, in addition to his perfect scoring skills, his mental ability is also first-rate. B Fei and Chu Ameni have a deep understanding of this.

It is precisely because of such a great figure as Martin, Argentina's game has increased a lot of room for error. They can accept the result of not being able to win against their opponents in regular time, because as long as they are dragged into a penalty shootout, they can firmly gain the upper hand. Therefore, although it seems that Di Maria always plays the role of Messi's lucky star in the national team, Martin is the real first assistant. Without him, there would be no three consecutive major competitions.

It is no exaggeration to say that his importance to Messi's career is no less important than Habaib. After all, Messi finally became a god thanks to the 2021 Copa America and the 2022 World Cup championship, which helped him make up for the gap in honors and helped him win 2 Ballon d'Or awards.

Speaking of which, I have to praise Mbappe. Facing a master of penalty kicks like Martin, or on a stage as tense as suffocating in the World Cup finals, Mbappe actually penetrated Martin's goal with three penalty kicks in one game (including the penalty shootout). It also directly led to Martin deliberately attacking Mbappe with a doll at the post-match award ceremony. Although there was pride from the winner, he was probably also angry at being unable to save Mbappe's penalty kick.
