Aston Villa coach Unai Emery wants to get rid of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez
The head coach of the club of the English Premier League (EPL) Aston Villa Unai Emery decided to get rid of the team’s goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. It is reported by Estadio Deportivo.
According to the source, the reason was the footballer’s behavior during the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar, where he played as part of the Argentina national team. Emery did not like Martinez’s provocations towards the French. The main candidate to replace the goalkeeper is the Moroccan goalkeeper of “Seville” Yassin Bunu.
Martinez was named the best goalkeeper of the 2022 World Cup. Having received an award in the form of a golden glove, he put it to his groin and shook the statuette towards the cameras and stands. Later, the goalkeeper said that he showed an indecent gesture at the awards ceremony due to the whistling of French fans.
Argentina defeated France in the final match of the tournament in Qatar and became the world champion for the third time in history. Regular time ended with the score 2:2. In extra time, the teams scored one more goal each. In the penalty shootout, Argentina turned out to be stronger – 4: 2. Martinez parried a shot from Kingsley Coman.
