Emiliano Martinez
LONDON. - Emiliano Martinez says his next "challenge" is to help Aston Villa end their 27-year title drought, after becoming a key figure in Argentina ending the long wait his for the title.
The 30-year-old describes himself as a 'winner' who just 'gives his best' when he says that one of the proudest aspects of his success is that half of the children in Argentina now wants to be a goalkeeper.
Speaking on Mike Calvin's BT Sport's Football People podcast, Martinez lamented that too many young players come to football for the wrong reasons when he wants to leave a legacy.
"I want to achieve something that no one else has achieved, or that is very difficult to achieve," the Villa goalkeeper said. “And obviously people said, after the Copa America after the World Cup, Emi will come play in the Champions League and he will leave.
“And I thought, yeah, that's the easy part. You know, it's easy to leave in January for a club that's playing in the Champions League and all that.
“Everything seems to be easy. In fact, it was a real challenge for me. Win the World Cup for Argentina after 36 years. Correct. Beat the defending champion USA after 28 years in Maracana.
“Yes, it is a challenge. Winning Finalissima over the European champions was a challenge. And now what do we need for Aston Villa after 30 years? I don't know how long it's been. 40 years?
"It's a challenge. You know, it's a challenge. And that's what I was made for - for challenges, for challenges that don't always have an easy way out. And we have one of the best managers to win everything in Europe. So I'm up for the challenge. - Independent Newspaper
