Targeted by LOSC supporters a year ago, at Villa Park and then at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, in the quarterfinals of the Europa Ligne Conference, Emiliano Martinez, the Aston Villa goalkeeper, expects to be whistled by the public in the Parc des Princes. The Villans challenge PSG this Wednesday evening in the quarter -final first leg of the Champions League. Remember, after the coronation of Argentina at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, after a final decided on penalties against the Blues, the Albiceleste porter had multiplied the abusive songs and the obscene gestures against Kylian Mbappé and his teammates. Scandalous.
“The advantage is that my team will have less pressure, because it is me that we will insult. I master the situation perfectly. Against Lille, they built me ​​for 120 minutes, it's normal “launched “Dibu” Martinez during his last visit to Argentine selection, in Tyc Sports.
The ultras of the park are very little influenced by the adventures of the French team, but the press obviously tries to remind everyone of the controversies around Emiliano Martinez dating from December 2022. Unai Emery was questioned about the reception from which his goalkeeper will benefit. “Emiliano Martinez is one of the best guards in the world. You have to remain respectful ”replied the Spanish coach spent on the red and blue bench from 2016 to 2018.
An anti-France cap
But Emiliano Martinez, decidedly undecided, himself revived the Franco-Argentina Guégation. To rally the hexagonal capital by plane, the double winner of the Yachine Trophy (given as part of the Ballon d'Or France Football) did not fail to wear a very special cap. It is a cap with the last Argentina trophies stuck on a rooster, symbol of France and the FFF. A new provocation on the part of the former replacement goalkeeper of Arsenal…
In great shape in recent weeks, with seven successful victories all competitions, thanks in particular to the goals of winter recruits Marco Asensio (which still belongs to PSG) and Marcus Rashford, Aston Villa will try as best they can to resist the remarkable training of Luis Enrique to keep his chances before the round next week in Birmingham. Emiliano Martinez will be protected by a central hinge Ezri Konsa-Tyrone Mings, with Axel Disasi right right, as well as Lucas worthy on the left and Boubacar Kamara in front of the defense.
