Emiliano Martínez made a few big saves for Aston Villa in their 2-1 win vs. Leeds United.

Martínez continued his World Cup winning form for his club as he stopped what was a sure goal for Leeds. A cross into the penalty area and an effort from a few years out but Martínez made a massive save to maintain Aston Villa’s lead.

A second save and just from inside of the penalty area by Martínez as he would save a shot that was going into the corner of the goal. Those saves went with Emiliano Buendía scoring for Aston Villa as both Argentine players continued to show their worth.

  1. What the fuck with Simione? Its totally disrespect to champion de paul..Simione entry should ban in Argentina…
    Btw his honeymoon will over after this season

  2. Simeone’s ugly football will never let De Paul play with freedom. Our world Cup and copa America champion Rodrigo De Paul is on the bench again undeservedly.

  3. The biggest change this WC win brought to me is that, when I realise I can now watch 2014 final and 2 copa finals with a peaceful mind…😀 such a relief..
    Otherwise thinking of those highlights even was nightmare..

  4. So Chelsea end up spending more money for someone named Mykhailo Mudryk with 100 million Euros. They only offered Enzo 85 million. Good luck. If I were Enzo I would feel very disrespected. If you have 100 million Euro or something why not spending it on me?

  5. It’s shocking how some Brazilian players are overrated and overpriced, Lucas Paquetá how is he 50 million pounds? Antony how the hell manu paid over 80 million for that crap It’s really beyond me. Alexis MacAllister, emi Buendia looks much better players than Lucas Paquetá even lanzini plays better whenever outdated Scottish sh.. hall manager give him chance to play. I don’t want talk about much of Antony cus he looks useless people already said Garnacho looks more exciting which i completely agree and to be honest I saw that before they realise it

  6. Garnacho was good yesterday, serving the goal to Rashford on a silver platter. I was thinking that Alvarez should play for MU as their lead striker instead of being understudy to Haaland in City, which is crazy in my view. Alvarez is more complete than Haaland.

    I kind of understand why some players, especially younger ones, idolise CR7. They perhaps see CR7 as the result from dedication and hard work, something possible to emulate in contrast to Messi who is on unachievable level. If Garnacho can copy CR7s work ethic, I think it’s a win win situation for Argentina.

    • https://dailypost.ng/2023/01/12/qatar-2022-dalessandro-names-three-players-who-inspired-argentinas-world-cup-victory/.

      As you can see Alvarez along with the 02 key mid youngsters was the reason why we won. Actually Mouthinho (mean Josie Mourinho) is twice as good as Pep and Simone combined while dealing with Argie Talents. Jose maximized Milito during the treble while cambiaso and Zaetti were on fire. I remember picking Higuain over Benzema despite zidan’s influnence to put Benzema ahead in his bla bla capacity in real madrid then??? And now the trust in Dyabala. Pep himself admitted that Messi made him a great manager not otherwise-add to it one of yhe biggest insilts putting Jesus over Aguero in pecking order. Pep and Simone are well equiped to kill Argentian talents and unlike Klop, ETH, Spaletti, the former 02 have no record of transforming players potential at all.

  7. There is a video circulating in internet that ibvra celebrate france goal against Argentina and a boy seems garnacho celebrate the goal with ibvra.But its fake, he wasn’t garnacho because Garnacho has tattoo in his both hand but the boy didn’t.

  8. Scholes on Garnacho said on BT Sport: “I think he’s been good every time I’ve seen him this season and I think he’s been a real threat.

    “I thought he probably should have come on before Antony, although Antony does have his strengths, don’t get me wrong.

    “But this lad is direct. He doesn’t care, there’s no fear in a young player. He wants to score goals and he wants to make goals. And he’s more than capable of doing it.

    “You see against Ake, you fancy him.

    “His first ball wasn’t great. He got away with that one a little bit. And then all he does is, he puts it into an area and thankfully Marcus is there. And the form Marcus is on, you expect him to score and he slides it on it.”

    Rio Ferdinand on Garnacho: Rio Ferdinand in agreement about fearless Alejandro Garnacho

    Fellow former Man Utd man, Rio Ferdinand, was in agreement about Garnacho’s lack of fear.

    Ferdinand added: “He’s a player with his age, he has no fear and he’s not affected by reputations.

    “I see a lot of wingers face up with someone like Kyle Walker and because of his reputation, his attributes – pace, strength, etc – probably come back and keep passing it backwards.

    “But him, no.”

    —That’s what I like about Garnacho. To face the world best right backs and you still going at them, as an 18 year old kid, that’s special. Like Rio said, many would choose backpass but him, no.

    As i said give him the starting minutes starting next season. 20 goals+ at least + 15 assists guarantee! Anyone who thinks that some of our players are better in left wing position (with the exception of Di Maria). I disagree.

  9. Football Made Simple is a crappy motherfucking channel….in all the analysis he did in WC Scaloni got poor grades in the end…..I suggest you guys watch the purist football.

    • I actually really liked their analysis, though I think that channel grades managers harshly the same way we don’t give players a 10 or 9 rating even if they score a couple of goals (or at least the stats sites don’t). I really liked his explanations of the games. I watch both channels and like to see what info they both offer

  10. I think people need to relax on Garnacho and let it play out. Who cares if he likes Cristina. If he earns a spot on our NT that’s great. And the kid isn’t a dummy. He ain’t going to play for Spain…look at the stars on the shirt and that’ll tell you who the bigger team is.

  11. I don’t understand why y’all complain about Garnacho again? He doesn’t do anything bad at all. And u guys are like he can be toxic or he will choose Spain bla bla bla. What dd he do? The dude is an Argentine by heart. Gaston Edul yesterday saying this on his twitch: Scaloni will strongly consider calling up Garnacho in the near future.

    Yes some MU players especially Rashford seems to have a beef with him. But Rashford is an English not Argentine. So what?

    So what is the complaints all about? Him wearing CR7’s undies? Not Messi’s?

    Garnacho is the next big thing. If he gets the starting minutes next year for MU, I guarantee u at least 20-30 goals and 10-15 assist next season. That’s for sure and those numbers will keep growing up every year. Anytime the guy plays, he always has very big chance of either scoring or get an assist. He is not 100% proven yet but for an 18, he is the world best in his position, not even close AND again he is an Argentine!

    • Fully agreed with Garnacho as with his impact on the game only with in 8 minutes was so huge as if i would be ETH i would start him or at least give even more playing time as the whole game changed completly as soon as he came on ! Still don’t understand why Licha was only given the very last minutes of the game ?

      Well, Still way better than Pep did as it is such a shame that he keep’s on relying on Foden and Mahrez as they did hardly nothing and the same time he is keeping A WC WINNER WHO DID NOT ONLY WON THE WC, BUT ALSO SCORED IMPORTANT GOALS FOR ARG TOO AS I FEEL SO BAD FOR ALVAREZ WITH PEP KEEP ON PRAISING HIM AND STILL DONT LET HIM PLAY IN MANCHESTER DERBY, INCREDIBLE AND ALSO VERY STUPID OF HIM TOO AS THEY MIGHT HAVE SCORED ANOTHER WITH ALVAREZ ON, BUT I’M OK WITH ETH’S MANU TOO AS SOON AS HE KEEPS ON PLAYING GARNACHO AND LICHA AS FOR ME THEY ARE OBVIOYSLY THEIR BEST PLAYERS BY FAR ALLREADY NOW !

      WELL, FOR SPURS I DO HOPE THEY BEAT SHIT OUT OF ARSENAL WITH CUTI ON THE FIELD AS I JUST CANT CHANGE SINCE DAYS OF ARDILES AND VILLA, LOL!

      As i’m starting to like this Brighton team a lot as for me they are playing the most beautyfull football of whole EPL at the moment also Aston Villa and even Brentford are more than capable to harm any EPL team theese days with a bit of luck offcourse, which is allways a help for them against for the good teams etc…as i hope Fullham to get a draw against Newcastle to tighter things even more as it was great for Southampton to win, but Westham obviously getting in too much trouble, though i don’t think that they will be relegated, but never know theese days as for Brighton i wish big success and hope that they will not sell any player in this transfer window as i would love to see them playing against another European clubs next season as obviously Spurs and Aston Villa too, but that might be a bit too much of a challenge to Emery to pull out, but as i said never know as if DIBU keep’s performing like this and others will STRUGGLE, who knows…as the relegation battle will be a tuff’n ruff all the way til’ the very end as i think Senesi’s Bournemouth and Everton with Leeds might be those 3 at the bottom, when the season ends, but i’m not fully counting Lopeteguis Wolwes out yet, though they have made some progress as i wish Southampton not getting relegated and NAPOLI TO WIN THE SCUDETTO SINCE days of MaGiCa !

    • Her highness’ legend is OVER, NOT only was she humiliated in the WC for the whole world to see. Not ONLY did MESSI win the world cup. Not only did Messi and his fellow teammates clean up on all rewards to be awarded. NOT only did SHE get relegated to the desert. NOT ONLY did Messi become the undisputed Best of the Best by doing it on the pitch on the biggest stage there is…………if the kid wants to emulate this LOSER then let him have at it as long as he performs when called up and I have NO doubt he will especially now after ARG became ONCE again a WC CHAMP.

    • Maybe Garnacho is being used the way he is bcz he is being managed carefully by the coach……you need to be careful with these young talents and nurture them carefully…..
      Wes Brown said this: “He’s not given him too much time at the moment – because he is flying – but just giving him the right amount of time to keep his feet on the ground but he is an exceptional young player. Who will play many times for Manchester United.”

  13. Grancho giving me future ballondor battile vibes i was worried who gonna win ballondor for us after messi 😂
    I dont think we ever had a under 18 year old boy who is playing consistent good football for worldclass European club in top 3 legues in a decade🤔

    • Garnacho gets all the tools to be world class. The other day I compared Garnacho to the 18 years old Mbappe and CR7. By this time, Garnacho is not worse than them. But whether he will be that good it will depend on his work ethic.

      But for sure he’s got all the tools. He’s got the swag, confidence, selfishness (always wanting the ball), bravery, speed, dribbling, pace, shooting, defensive work rate, stamina, team work etc. All those things above of his are too good to be true for an 18 years of age.

  17. You can’t trash Garnacho because he likes CR7. If he can be as good as CR7 or Mbappe, then im fine with his personality issues.

    Our team cohesion comes from Messi, but he can not play for us forever. Garnacho will grow up, and our team will also need to move forward with a new era.

    • Hell yeah. I have so much hope for him getting back to form and even improving. He still has a lot of time.
      I was watching the Aston villa game and any time emi saved or touched the ball the commentator would say “world cup winner”. That’s never going to get old for me

    • He hit his lowest and worst form of his career at the biggest stage and usually after that kind of disastrous performance some players never recover but I am glad Lautaro is getting back to form!!

      • Lautaro was second top scorer in last year Copa and scored in QF and semi… so its not like he never had great tournament. He also had valid goal disallowed by VAR. If Lautaro and ADM were fully fit during the WC, it would have been an easy tournament for us. We would have scored 5 goals against Netherlands and France.

        To put things on perspective, Lautaro and Rashford are same age.. but despite Rashford has played around 70 more matches , Lautaro has scored more goals than him.
