Whistled by some spectators upon his arrival at the Théâtre du Châtelet, Emiliano Martinez, winner of the Yachine Trophy Monday evening in Paris during the 68th edition of the Ballon d’or, returned to this episode. “We are professionals, we know that it’s part of the game”declared the Argentinian goalkeeper to DS Sport.

Renowned for his numerous provocations, particularly after the last World Cup final between France and Argentina, the Aston Villa goalkeeper has also assured that he wants to play at the highest level for a very long time. “I feel better and better physically but I haven’t reached my peak yet. I want to play as long as my body allows me, maybe it can leave me alone until I’m 41 or 42.”
