translated from Spanish: Emiliano Martínez: “The arch of the National Team is the biggest thing there is”

Emiliano Martínez burst in with responsibility and presence in the duels against Chile, for Qualifiers and Copa America, and against Colombia for the Qualification to the World Cup, and seems to have gotten a vote of confidence from the coach and the fans of the National Team.In that context, the goalkeeper of Aston Villa appeared at a press conference minutes before Lionel Scaloni does it, and spoke of the responsibility of guarding the albiceleste fence, as well as the burden of occupying that place in addition to making clear his feelings in these duels.” I don’t take this challenge with pressure, I was prepared for this moment. I try to do what I’ve done since I was a kid; get on the court and don’t think about anything else. As the games go by, I’m going to feel more and more secure and I pass that on to the team,” “Dibu” remarked.

“The arc of the Argentine National Team is the biggest thing there is. The truth is that I feel very good, I am really enjoying this moment. I feel more and more confident in myself. Once I get on the court, for me the bow measures the same everywhere. No matter who I play for or who the opponent is, I’m focused on my own,” he remarked. His place in the first team is given by the absence of Franco Armani, with whom he headed a good dispute for the place, but still recognizes that he does not have 100% won. “Except for the number 10 there is no defined position, the one that is better plays. I had to play these three games but I know I have to keep performing to add more minutes.” On the other hand, in the face of the duel with Uruguay, he made it clear that he is shaping up to continue in front with the steps to follow thinking about Uruguay. “We were discussing the opponent with the coach. (Edinson) Cavani and (Luis) Suarez are two very dangerous strikers, but we have a clear idea and we are not going to change it,” he closed.
