This summer, World Cup champion goalkeeper Martinez and goalkeeper Villa were eager to leave Villa. In the game 0-3 loss to Crystal Palace on August 31, Martinez did not get a chance to play. In the end, Manchester United did not choose Martin, but chose the younger Belgian goalkeeper Lamons. Martinez could only stay in Villa, but fortunately the team still had the Europa League to play.

At the pre-match press conference against Everton, Emery also talked about the news of Martinez's transfer. "Martinez stayed is good news, and I'm very happy. In my opinion, he is the best goalkeeper in the world, and he is dedicated to Villa."

"He always trains at his best and strives to convey positive energy. He respects Aston Villa, and that will never change." Emery said. Martinez signed a new contract with Villa last year with a weekly salary of more than 200,000 pounds (some say it is 150,000 pounds per week). It is reported that this is one of the reasons why Manchester United refused to sign him.

in three league games in the new season, Villa only achieved 1 draw and 2 losses, temporarily ranking second to the bottom. However, Emery is still full of confidence in the team, especially after the new players joined. "Sancho needs some physical time to recover, and so does Lindelof, but they are all on the roster. Elliott has been training normally and is in good health."
