Two weeks before the world final between Argentina and France, there was no revenge between the two goalkeepers of that match, Emiliano Martinez and Hugo Lloris.
The two should have faced each other today with their respective clubs in the Premier League match between Tottenham and Aston Villa, but while the Frenchman is regularly in goal for the London Spurs, the Albiceleste hero is in the 'Villans', who has resumed training only last Friday, he was on the bench and the Swede ex Roma and Cagliari Robin Olsen played in his place.
In recent days, and after Martinez's excesses during the Qatar 2022 prize-giving ceremony and during the celebrations for Argentina's world title, the new manager of Aston Villa, the Spanish Unai Emery, had said he wanted to speak at length with his extreme defender, "because I want him to be able to control his emotions. We must have values and regulate our behavior accordingly, because we are examples for many. And this is also true when we confront our opponents".
Another veteran of the world final last December 18 is on the field in Tottenham-Aston Villa: it is the central defender Cristian Romero, ex Atalanta now at the court of Antonio Conte.
