At present, Martinez, who plays for Villa in the Premier League, has locked in the position of the main goalkeeper of the Argentine national team. In last year's Copa America competition, Martinez played well, helping Messi finally win an important trophy for the national team, and also allowed Messi to win the Ballon d'Or for the seventh time. Martinez saved three penalties from Colombia in the semi-final win over Colombia and was instrumental in the team's promotion to the final.
Martinez revealed in an interview that when he was in the national team, Messi took the initiative to ask to take a picture with himself. "After winning the Copa America, Messi called out to me, 'Come, take a picture.'" The absolute core of the team said to me that I couldn't believe what was going on. I don't know what kind of effect Messi wanted to shoot, Messi put four trophies in front of us both, and I was happy like a little kid. ”
Asked about his favourite stadium, Martinez replied: "I have to say, it's Tottenham Stadium. It's a modern course and it feels like playing football on an NFL field. You know, the away team also has a big dressing room, like playing a final. "When asked about the best goalkeeper in the world today, Martinez said it was Mendy. It's not about who has more trophies, but I have to say mendy is really great, he kept clean sheets against opponents, won all of them, and then played very well this season. And, I really liked his experience, it was inspirational. At the age of 23, Mendy didn't have a club that wanted him yet, but now for Mendy, everything is so surprising. ”
Martinez has been Villa's absolute workhorse this season, making 26 Premier League appearances. In 16 appearances for Argentina, Martinez completed 10 clean sheets and conceded only 6 goals, with Argentina's record of 11 wins and 5 draws. In the national team's eight penalties, Martinez saved four penalties and 1 shot over the crossbar, allowing him to score only three goals.
