Emiliano Martinez, the 32-year-old goalkeeper for Argentina and Aston Villa, spoke to Argentine TV channel Telefe a few days before his team’s Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain. Aware that he’s not liked by the French public since the World Cup and his borderline behavior, he says he’s ready to take all the pressure on himself.
“I’ll be insulted. But the advantage is that my team will be under less pressure.
His return to Lille
They whistled at me for 120 minutes. But that’s normal.”
We know the player, we know the man, PSG will have to watch out for him. Martinez is a character. He can handle pressure like no one else, and he’s got the character to make any team pull the pin. He also has the talent to outwit his opponents.
After that, Martinez plays for Aston Villa, doesn’t win all his games and, above all, isn’t infallible. It’s good that he’s starting the game, but we also need pressure to perform well, and the PSG players shouldn’t take this match lightly. No doubt Luis Enrique will be talking about Martinez and the dangers posed by this fine Aston Villa team.
