Aston Villa's Decision on Emiliano Martínez for Summer Olympics

Aston Villa F.C. has been in the spotlight recently , especially when it comes to Emiliano Martínez . The decision to not allow the goalkeeper to participate in the Summer Olympic Games in Paris has been praised by Bryan King , an ex - Villa scout . King believes that Martínez 's main focus should be on his club duties , rather than international competitions like the Olympics.

According to reports , Martínez was not included in the Argentina squad for the Olympics after Aston Villa blocked his participation . King , speaking exclusively to Villa News , expressed his support for Unai Emery 's side in making this decision . While it would have been nice for Martínez to compete in the Olympics and potentially win a gold medal , King emphasizes that his priority should be with the Argentina senior team and Aston Villa Football Club.

The decision to keep Martínez with Aston Villa may have been in the best interest of the club , but it does come with the risk of upsetting one of their key players . Emery will need to address any potential frustration Martínez may have when he returns to the club . Despite this decision , it is unlikely that Martínez will push for a move away from Aston Villa.

As Martínez would have been eager to represent Argentina at the Olympics , there may be some tension to smooth over upon his return . Emery will need to ensure that the relationship between the goalkeeper and the club remains positive . The 31 - year - old 's happiness and satisfaction with his club are crucial for Aston Villa 's success in the upcoming season.

In conclusion , while Aston Villa 's decision regarding Emiliano Martínez 's participation in the Olympics may have been the right one from a club perspective , it is essential for them to maintain a good relationship with the player . The upcoming season will be a test for both Martínez and Aston Villa , and it will be interesting to see how things unfold .
