Martínez has commented about how he would like to be at the Olympics with Argentina. Speaking in an interview with TyC Sports, here is what Martínez had to say:

“I want to be at the Olympics. It’s not up to me, Aston Villa blocked me several times. It’s not completely closed yet but I have to fight a little more with the club. I always put the national team first.”

He also spoke about Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni:

“He takes great care of us but he doesn’t gift us anything. He told us that the number 10 (Lionel Messi) is the only one that has a guaranteed spot. People who relax, don’t come.”
