Emiliano Martinez, the goalkeeper for Argentina, is reportedly spending £20,000 on a guard dog to aggressively preserve his World Cup championship gold.
The 30-year-old was instrumental in helping Argentina win the World Cup, making a crucial save with seconds left that may have given France the advantage.
During penalty shootouts, he also produced a superb save, and Aurelien Tchouameni’s missed shot was probably because of his frightening demeanor.
Martinez has drawn criticism for a number of inappropriate celebration-related actions since his heroics and subsequent World Cup victory.
Martinez, though, has secured his Midlands home with a terrifying canine protector to ensure that his victory medal is protected at all costs.
The Daily Star reports that the Golden Glove winner spent £20,000 on a highly trained Belgian Malinois. According to the English-language media site, the US Navy Seals and the SAS reportedly utilized the dog in warfare, and it can weigh up to 30 kg.
