May 10th, Vera's Argentina goal Martinez was interviewed by ESPN and talked about the negative comments from the outside world, his demands for himself, and the club's performance this season.

"Since I came to Villa, we have been making progress and are working hard to enter the Champions League. Although it has not been happy to achieve my goals in person, I am still satisfied overall." In the interview, Martin, the Big Brothers talked about the importance of building a competitive team: "(new players) joined in the end of January and February, and only participated in a few games, so we do not have a very competitive lineup. If such a team could be formed earlier, what height could we reach? This is a problem. We have to sell some players and then compete with the best of our efforts, but to reach a higher level, you need a better lineup."

Speaking of the possibility of Villa participating in the championship, Martin said: "We still need to improve to compete for the Premier League championship. Everyone is trying their best to do the best, but this goal may take three to four years to achieve."

Regarding the criticism of him by the outside world, Martin expressed his indifference: "Their views will not affect me, whether it is good or bad, I know that I am Who knows what kind of person you are. Many people only watch one game to evaluate you, but I play to win. Off the court, I am a father, husband and son, but on the court, I just want to win, that's all."

Martin also talked about the changes that he had brought to him by becoming a World Cup champion: "Being a world champion did not change my life and daily life. Obviously, the achievements we have achieved make it easier for us to gain respect. Whether it is from referees, opponents or spectators, this gives us extras that are hard to get in football Respect. ”

" However, when I returned to Argentina, I could not take my niece to the square to sit on a carousel because we have no privacy. But in Europe, we have our own house where I can live quietly with my family. Some things really can't be done, but we live a peaceful and happy life. We were already very happy when we had nothing, and now we have the opportunity to have everything, but our essence has not changed, which is what I cherish most. Money does not change a person, and it is the same for us."
