Dibu Martínez revealed the reason for his obsession with the undefeated goal

Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez is going through a great collective present not only in the Argentine National Team but also in Aston Villa, being one of the main people responsible for the Villains being just one point away from the top of the Premier League just two dates in the middle of the season. The winner of the award for the best goalkeeper in the world explained the reason for his obsession with keeping his goal at zero and was encouraged to select his best saves of the year.

“I always say it's my job. You give confidence to the team, to myself. I always say that the team that receives the fewest goals is the one that wins titles,” he began with respect to his great effort to always finish without goals against him in conversation with ESPN. "It is very difficult. I go step by step. I want to win everything, but it doesn't depend on me. It's not 7 games like a World Cup, it depends on the injuries, how your team is doing. "We are going to fight for everything: the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Conference League," he declared.

“You can see that they win 4-3, but as a team they were not solid. Now, you win 1-0 or 2-0 and another game you win 1-0, the truth is that they say 'it's difficult to score a goal against this team'. When you have players that you know score goals every game and have the goal at zero, you know that you win the game. “I found a group in the national team and here that really enjoy having a clean sheet,” he said.

At the same time, he also expressed his chest for the great present of his team that could even end the date at the top of the standings. “Many people did not have us in the top 6 playing international competition. If in the top 7 or 8, because we qualified for the Conference League. Everyone thought we were going to fall, but we held on. We have a coach who doesn't let us relax. “When you compete a thousand times, you win more than you lose.”

Dibu Martínez chose his best saves of 2023

Faced with a common question among avid sports fans, Dibu was encouraged to select what he considers were his best saves, also showing an unusual area to which he pays a lot of attention to make his assessment. "I think it was City's double, due to the importance it had in the game. We were attacking and in the 10th minute they had that double chance," referring to the enormous save on two consecutive scoring chances against Erling Haaland.
