Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is pleased with his country’s overall performance throughout 2024. Winning the Copa America, leading the CONMEBOL 2026 football World Cup qualifiers and setting some impressive individual records.
The Aston Villa goalkeeper recently helped the ‘Albiceleste’ beat Peru 1-0 to have 25 points after 12 matchdays. Leading second-placed Uruguay by 5 points in the race for a place in the World Cup finals in two years’ time UFABET
The November schedule is still the last part of this era. Which looking back is quite satisfactory according to the 32-year-old goalkeeper.
“This has been a year of pride.” he told ‘Taysee Sports’.
“We are Copa America champions again. We are the No. 1 seed in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, CONMEBOL zone. And we saw everyone playing together.”
“Next year, there will be a champion-versus-champion battle. Finalissima (European champion vs. Copa America champion), a duel with Spain and then the World Cup is waiting for us.”
“We are also giving a lot of young players the chance to get more minutes. They need to get consistent game time.”
“We should be proud. We want to be the best team and we are on that path now.”
Tuesday’s appearance for La Bombonera was Martinez’s 49th for his country. The third-highest total for a goalkeeper alongside Pato Abdondancer.
