Dibu Martínez’s winning confession: “The top 5? That’s for losers” :: Olé

Emiliano Damián Martínez is a born winner. Throughout his career, Dibu has shown that he always aims for the highest beyond the real possibilities that can be thought of from the outside. And after <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/premier-league-manchester-citys-turnover-for-the-first-time-higher-than-manchester-uniteds/" title="Premier League – Manchester City's turnover for the first time higher than Manchester United's”>Aston Villa‘s defeat against Liverpool at Anfield, where the Reds beat Unai Emery’s team 2-0 to be absolute leaders of the Premier League, The Argentine goalkeeper assured that thinking about being among the five or six best in the league is for losers.

The confessions and actions of Dibu Martínez are usually raw, without a filter. And just as he has made strong statements with the Argentine national team shirt, he also maintains the same tone with the Aston Villa gloves. After losing to Liverpool and chaining four consecutive defeats after a spectacular start in the Champions League, where they had a perfect score until the last loss in Belgium against Bruges, the goalkeeperHe assured that although the team is still adapting, they must aim to be champions.

“These are moments that pass, we lost two games in a competition, we changed the eleven players in the Carabao Cup and then what happened in the Champions League, where we made six changes. In the end we have to give everyone minutes, we had to sell players to bring in new ones so it is a team that is in progress, he began by saying. However, the Villains’ leader went further and stated that although they had a good start, they must continue adding: “Things are played from the first game, not only in February and March, which is when things are defined. You have to add the points when you have to add them, but hey, we lost Tottenham and Liverpool away so it’s not the end of the world either.. Now we have games at home and we have to add to it.”

Finally, the goalkeeper who started in the loss against Liverpool, where despite the defeat the Birmingham team played a good game, assured that no one should settle for being among the five or six best in the Premier League since that is “losers”

“I didn’t sign up to be top 5 or 6, that’s for losers. I want to be at the top of everything, my goal is always to win the league. Thinking about being among the seven best is like a loser,” the goalkeeper concluded.

It should be noted that the start of the season was more than good for Aston Villa. Despite the last four consecutive defeats against Crystal Palace, Tottenham, Bruges and Liverpool, the truth is that Unai Emery’s men had a great start with victories against rivals of the caliber of Bayer Munich that placed them among the best teams in the Champions League, where they are in ninth place.
