On July 5th, in the Copa America quarterfinals, Argentina triumphed over Ecuador in a thrilling penalty shootout. After saving two spot kicks, Martinez expressed that he had assured the team they were not done yet.
“I told the boys that I’m not ready to go home,” Martinez said. “Although we’ve already won the World Cup and the Copa America, this team deserves to keep progressing and not be content with what we’ve achieved.”
“I work for moments like these, facing 500 shots every day in training. I just hope to give my best for the national team and to tell the fans who pay to watch us that I want to keep growing for them!”
