Emiliano Martínez performed brilliantly during the World Cup, winning the championship with Argentina and the Premier League with Aston Villa. That's why FIFA awarded him The Best Award in the best goalkeeper category.
"It is an honor for my country to win a World Cup after 36 years. It is also an honor for our people who know how emotional it is, especially considering the difficult year we were going through economically," said 'Dibu'.
"My family is a big part of this. The people of Aston Villa. The people of the national team. Scaloni, who gave me the opportunity to play. When I was asked as a child who my idol was as a goalkeeper, seeing my mom clean buildings for eight or nine hours and my dad work, they are my idols," he concluded.
In 25 matches with his national team, he has kept 16 clean sheets. Although he cannot boast the same numbers and statistics at Aston Villa, we can see week after week how he demonstrates hierarchy and security.
