Real Madrid Confidencial Fran Martínez's Confession, Minera's Goalkeeper: When I Saw Mbappé and Vini...
Fran Martínez, goalkeeper of Deportiva Minera, was surprised by the Real Madrid players
Real Madrid fulfillled expectations and didn't give Deportiva Minera a chance in the Copa del Rey round of 32. The Whites scored five goals against the locals, however, the rout could've been much greater. Additionally, Carlo Ancelotti's team scored three goals in 28 minutes, so the level of intensity gradually decreased.
One of the reasons the rout wasn't legendary was Fran Martínez. The goalkeeper of Deportiva Minera left the field with a stellar performance. Throughout the 90 minutes, he made saves of all kinds against top-level players like Brahim, Endrick, or even Mbappé.
A very remarkable performance
Fran Martínez delivered a true exhibition that surprised everyone with the level of his saves. In total, there were 17, an astonishing number, especially against a top-level team. 13 of them, moreover, were shots from inside the area, including several one-on-one saves.
The player was one of the most outstanding of Deportiva Minera, something that will surely benefit him in the future. Not all Second Federation goalkeepers can stop shots from Kylian Mbappé, Endrick, or Luka Modric. The goalkeeper's life has changed despite the five goals conceded against Real Madrid.
Very surprised by Real Madrid's players
"We expected them to be superior, but not at that level at all", the goalkeeper explained when talking about Real Madrid's play. "Honestly, I got some cool videos", commented Fran Martínez as he recalled the great number of saves he made against the merengue players.
In the end, after the changes and with the entry of the white superstars, Fran Martínez got "mad" at Carlo Ancelotti. "When I saw Vinícius and Mbappé come in, I said, damn, Carletto, leave it!", he explained.
Finally, the goalkeeper shared an anecdote he had with Brahim Díaz during the match. The Real Madrid striker executed a shot that was stopped by Fran Martínez. At that moment, the Morocco international replied with a rather funny phrase: "Bastard, you stopped it."
