It is being said - about the Argentinian goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. This Argentinian falcon is 100% successful in psychological battle in Qatar World Cup.
France-Argentina World Cup final in penalty shootout. Martinez played this mind game there. Koeman came to take the second penalty. Martinez talked to the referee to distract him. Ask the referee again and again if the ball is placed in the right place. This strategy of distracting him did not go in vain. Koeman failed to spot kick.
After that, Aurelie Chouameni came to take the penalty. Martinez succeeded in distracting him there as well. Along with sledging, the ball was thrown to the side without giving it to Chowameni. Nervous Chowameni lost his aim. In many other matches, there is precedent for such mind game of the goalkeeper of Argentina.
Not only Martinez, there are many goalkeepers who often play mind games to distract footballers during penalties. The rule of penalty is changing for them.
The Sun reports that the annual general meeting of the International Football Association Board will be held in London in March. There may be changes in the penalty rules in writing.

The goalkeeper may be banned for such behavior as punishment. And this new rule will be effective from next season.
