Aston Villa goalkeeper Martinez said in an interview that winning the World Cup last year and having a great season at Villa were great achievements. He noted that while it was difficult to make a choice, both periods were very special. He became the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in Argentina's history and was involved in the title battle alongside Villa, something no one expected. He said that he is enjoying football very much, which is a feeling that he hasn't felt in a long time.
Martinez also mentioned that many people believe that Villa will not be able to finish in the top six of the Premier League because of their participation in European competitions, and that their squad is not top-class. However, they are also currently successful in the UEFA Cup. He stressed that the schedule is very tough, but they have a determined coach who will not let the team up and always maintain the fighting spirit. As long as they keep trying, there will be more chances of success than failure.
When it comes to his goals for this season, Martinez said it's hard to say. He's going to take it one step at a time, and if he has to choose one accolade, he'd certainly want to win everything. But it's not just up to him, it's also about injuries and other factors. This season they will play in the FA Cup, UEFA Cup and Premier League. However, he couldn't be sure in which game they would perform better because the competitors were all very good and the situation was very changeable.
