Villa Coach To Speak With Martinez About World Cup Celebrations

Villa Coach To Speak With Martinez About World Cup Celebrations

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has revealed he will speak to Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez about his World Cup celebrations.

The Argentine shot-stopper has been in the headlines this week for his celebrations after the final last week, while he was also spotted mocking Kylian Mbappe.

Martinez has been criticised for some of his antics this week, with FFF president Noël Le Graët writing to the Argentina football association about the goalkeeper's behaviour.

"When you have a big emotion, sometimes it's difficult to control it,' Emery said, as per Metro.

"I will speak to him next week about some of the celebrations but I need to respect that he's with his national team right now. When he's back with us we can speak about it."

Emery confirmed the shot-stopper will be back for the New Year's Day game against Tottenham Hotspur.

"We are so proud of him. He won the World Cup, it's amazing! Aston Villa fans can be very proud.

"He's coming back next week so we are expecting him to be ready for the game at Tottenham on New Year's Day.

"I want him to rest now because after all that hard work and emotion, he needs it. He had an excellent World Cup and we're looking forward to having him back."
