Unai Emery on the absence of Martinez: your whole comment in two words.

Unusual interview with Unai Emery

According to The Sun: The head coach of 'Aston Villa', Unai Emery, became a star due to his humorous interview ahead of the match against 'Crystal Palace'.

Absence of Martinez in the squad

One of the main questions was the decision regarding the team's goalkeeper. Emiliano Martinez was not included in the squad for the match, and his place was taken by newcomer Marco Bizot.

This decision was made a day before the transfer window closed, and the press actively discussed the possible transfer of Martinez to 'Manchester United'.

The reporter asked: “Emi Martinez is not in the squad - why?”

Emery replied: “Bizot. Marco Bizot.”

The reporter continued: “And where is Emi Martinez?”

Emery again said: “Marco Bizot.”

Viral video and reactions

This absurd dialogue went viral on social media. Users actively commented:

• “Unai Emery is pure gold.”
• “This interview made it to the 'Hall of Fame'.”
• “Never change, Unai Emery: possibly the best pre-match interview.”

After 20 minutes of play, Bizot came under the spotlight when he fouled Daichi Kamada, leading to a penalty being awarded. Jean-Philippe Mateta converted it, opening the scoring in the match.

Meanwhile, Martinez was spotted in Dudley, where he watched his son's match, which may indicate his absence from Emery's plans.

“Aston Villa” assures that no offers have been made for their goalkeeper, and that his absence is related to the focus of other players on the match.

Thus, the situation with Emiliano Martinez remains under the team's control. Further decisions regarding the squad may depend on developments in the upcoming matches and reactions to transfers. Unai Emery, as always, attracts attention not only for tactical decisions but also for vibrant communications with the press, underscoring his style of play.
