On leaving Arsenal, the Yashin Trophy winner said: “I spoke to my Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and told him that my dream is to play for the national team and for that I have to leave… He didn’t like it, but he understood. , told me he would give me a ticket and Aston Villa threatened me. Thanks to this club I managed to fulfill my goal and this year we are playing in the European Cup for the first time in thirteen years. It’s a win-win.”
The Villans stopper claimed his desire to represent La Albiceleste prompted his sacking from Arsenal.
“It was my dream, my driving force. Although I have to admit that when I was 24 years old in Spain and I wasn’t playing, there was a moment when I thought my chance was over. Then I thought about returning to Argentina to play for Independiente,” Martínez explained. “I didn’t know what to do. I was in a bottomless pit and I didn’t know how to get out. Then I saw the light and when I got out, I knew I was going to get there, that I was going to get up.”
