This Monday, the Yashine Trophy was awarded to Emiliano Martinez. Whistled for his entry into the Théâtre Châtelet and his rise on stage by the French public, Emiliano Martinez was rewarded following a heroic World Cup but above all a masterful final against the Blues. However, many consider that others would have deserved to win this Yashine trophy like Yassine Bounou or even Marc-André Ter Stegen.
Finally rewarded, Dibu Martinez saw his coach at Aston Villa, Unai Emery, congratulate him this Friday for his individual distinction: “Martinez, as a person, has been very competitive throughout his career and when he came here to the Premier League 12 years ago, he gradually improved a lot. His mentality is very brilliant, he always wants to improve individually and collectively with the team. I was with him at Arsenal before and I always knew he wanted to achieve something big. Getting this award is magnificent for him and we can be proud of him.»
