According to the British media "Daily Mail", Villa coach Emery has confirmed that Martinez will no longer serve as the team's vice-captain. The Post speculates that the decision may be related to the Argentinian goalkeeper's failed move to Manchester United this summer.
According to reports, when captain McGinn was not present in the midweek game, it was Konsa who wore the captain's armband, not vice-captain Martinez. This situation triggered heated discussions from the outside world.
In an interview after the game, Emery said: "The first captain is McGinn. We have determined the team's captaincy structure and are also planning the subsequent captaincy arrangements.
"Normally, Martinez is the second captain. But now, after communicating with him, I am more inclined to adjust this position. Konsa is the next choice for vice-captain, along with Mings and Watkins. This is how we typically manage captaincy responsibilities. "
The Post added that Martinez was originally expected to leave the team this summer after playing for Villa for four years. After Villa's last game last season, he cried emotionally and waved goodbye to the fans, and seemed to have confirmed his departure.
At the time, he was eager to join Manchester United. There were reports that he had contacted fellow Argentinian Manchester United star Lisandro Martinez to discuss the transfer. Negotiations between the two clubs continued until the transfer window closed.
However, the transfer ultimately failed and he ultimately chose to stay at Villa. Manchester United chose the younger goalkeeper Ramens. It is reported that the reason why Martinez's transfer failed was that the cost was too high. His salary at Villa was higher than Onana's salary at Manchester United. Villa also priced the Argentine goalkeeper at 30 million pounds.Mini-game recommendations:Pool Bubbles
