Emi Martinez, the esteemed goalkeeper of Aston Villa, has expressed his gratitude towards his teammates for their support in his winning streak with the Yashin Trophy for the second consecutive year. Martinez, who has shown remarkable performance both at club level and internationally, played a significant role in Aston Villa’s qualification for the Champions League and Argentina’s Copa America victory. Following his achievement, he shared his thoughts and aspirations, reflecting on his journey and future goals.
Emi Martinez said, “I’d like to thank my colleagues, my teammates at Aston Villa. They all know how demanding I am. It is the group effort that makes things happen. It’s huge for me. I always dreamed of playing one game for the national team. Coming as such a young lad to England, to Aston Villa and the national team. Winning once was such an honour, winning back-to-back I couldn’t believe it. Winning is such an honour for my family and friends. To be fair, I don’t see myself as the best. There are so many good goalies that I see week in, week out. Like I said, I only care about group titles with the national team and Aston Villa. For me, it is about improving myself. That’s all I care about. Off the pitch, I am a proud man, a husband and a brother.”
