In the past 50 yeqrs, Possibly Paul McGrath is the only other. Our successful managers tended to build teams, Ron Saunders famously eschewing star players for the good of the team.

Popular Post wishywashy Posted October 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2023 Nice article on Relevo with Pau giving an interview about him. https://www.relevo.com/futbol/premier-league/dibu-martinez-cleansheets-20231030161603-nt.html Quote Emiliano Martinez, goalkeeper of Aston Villa and the Argentina national team, has been proclaimed winner of the Yashin Trophy for the best goalkeeper in the world. Alberto Martínez, father of 'El Dibu', took the stage to present him with the award. In 2021 he was also among the finalists. A year later, in 2022, he took The Best award for the best goalkeeper in the world and also the World Cup Golden Glove. "Without my teammates in the national team, coaching staff or Aston Villa this would not have been possible. The important thing is to always win as a group... and I've already won the best," said 'El Dibu' when he took the stage to give his speech to everyone. Pau Torres, one of the newcomers at Aston Villa, explained in an interview in Relay how the Argentine influences the matches: "He is a goalkeeper who transforms himself on match day. I have a very good relationship with him and I tell him, "it is that the day of the match you transform yourself". He is a goalkeeper who really gives points to the team and that energy, because he is also a winner, transmits it very well to the group", he says. Dibu Martínez's obsession is to keep a clean sheet. This is exemplified by Pau Torres: "He's very competitive. We're doing a bus trip maybe and we're sitting together at the table and we're always on the iPad, on the computer, watching other league games, and when another goalkeeper scores a goal he celebrates, but because he doesn't want anyone to have cleansheets. He's crazy about cleansheets," he recalls. And he adds: "When we beat Brighton 6-1 they gave us a couple of days off and I went home, I went back to Benicàssim, and the next day I receive a message from Dibu and he tells me: "Enjoy at home, but let's see if the next game we get cleansheet". And I say: "this guy, we just won 6-1 against Brighton and he's still not happy, he's still thinking that we could have got a clean sheet". That mentality is what makes him one of the best goalkeepers in the world, if not the best." Aston Villa are competing in the Conference League this season. Thanks to a good end of the season under Unai Emery, the villains returned to Europe: "He told me that last year, when he spoke to the group that they could get into Europe after losing several games, the group saw him as crazy, and maybe that momentum that he had at that time made the others believe and achieve the goal last year. He has been lucky enough to win the World Cup, he is in a personal dynamic that he believes it and shows it. It also gives a lot of security to have a goalkeeper with these characteristics," he concludes. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
