The head coach of "Aston Villa" Unai Emery explained his decision to keep the world champion Emiliano Martinez in the team's reserve for the match of the 18th round of the English championship against "Tottenham" (2:0).
Emiliano Martinez"That was our plan. He needed to rest. He only trained twice with us.
Robin Ulsen stood today and we trust our players. We have to use everyone when we need it," Emery was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
Martinez had been tipped to start the match since his return from Argentina, so it came as a surprise to Birmingham fans when the goalkeeper found himself among the substitutes in north London.
