The Argentine goalkeeper has already joined Aston Villa and met his manager, who did not have very friendly words with him.
The World Cup is already behind us. Obviously, it will be remembered forever by the Argentines and those who achieved that feat, but strictly for sports, the European leagues continue their course. It is that unlike in past World Cups, it is the first time that the maximum appointment concludes in full competition, being that the usual thing was for this to happen in July, the historic month of summer recess.
Little by little, the different players from the squad that became world champions with the Argentine National Team joined their teams. They were all in the country where they were born, with the aim of celebrating the conquest and then spending Christmas with the family. That was the case of Emiliano Martínez, who this Thursday took a flight from Mar Del Plata and is already training with the Aston Villa squad.
Prior to his return to the Premier League, the goalkeeper was the victim of a manhunt that came mostly from Europe, and to a lesser extent from other Latin American countries. From Adil Rami, Patrick Vieira, Mauricio Pinilla, Fabio Capello and more, they came out with the top caps for the player who emerged from the lower divisions of Independiente de Avellaneda, although he did not make his debut.
The funny thing happened after that, since his coach in the ‘Villains’, Unai Emery, maintained a rather neutral stance with his captain, saying that he wanted to have a talk with him about the festivities in the middle of a press conference, when he could simply have done it without notifying anyone. In any case, the Spanish spoke again about his goalkeeper and the controversy broke out again.
Unai Emery’s words about Dibu Martínez
This Friday, the coach spoke to the English press and was asked about Dibu, who returned to training under his supervision. He mentioned that he is happy and that it is very good to have a world champion in the squad, but that this no longer matters and that he will have to put his mind on his club and adapt very quickly to the pace of the league again. Will Martinez respond?
