Aston Villa players have to tell Emi Buendia to ‘calm down’ because of his comeptitive nature in training. So says goalkeeper Emi Martinez who has given an intriguing insight into life at Bodymoor Heath in a Q&A with former England stopper Ben Foster. The former Arsenal man was the guest on Foster’s The Cycling GK vlog in which identified the squad’s most competitive trainer and Villa’s funniest player. First up the Argentine was asked about Villa’s best dressed player
Emi Martinez said: “I am not sure if he is the best dressed but the most stylish is Matty Cash. He is a good-looking boy, he dresses well, he has got a nice car – a new Porsche – he fancies himself. He scored the other day and he is like a bad boy. He is a lovely guy, I said ‘You look like Jack Grealish’, his long hair . It is one of them where he is a good looking boy and he has got money now. I like him.”
John McGinn is the funniest team-mate
Emi Martinez said: “Oh my God, he comes into the dressing room, he is smiling, banter all day, after or before the game he jus sends gifs on the group chat – he is always on it. [Ezri] Konsa, he loves winning small sided games, he screams. Him and Emi Buendia – both the same. We have got a list of the best trainer, let’s say you win the small-sided game you get three points – Stevie G loves that. You have got Emi Buendia up top, he is losing a small-sided game, he is screaming and tackling like a proper game. We have to say ‘Emi, calm it down, we have got a game in two days’. And Konsa – give it to him as well, there is a lot of competition in training.”
