Aston Villa<\/a> need to make an immediate U-turn on one of their star’s futures after comments he made after the Europa League final victory against Freiburg. <\/p>\n

Unai Emery’s side secured a sensational 3-0 victory to win the Europa League title on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Youri Tielemans opened the scoring with a stunning volley before Emi Buendia made it 2-0 just before half-time. <\/p>\n

After the break, Villa’s dominance continued with Morgan Rogers putting the icing on the cake, scoring their third of the evening. <\/p>\n

It was hardly a huge surprise that Villa won the final, with Emery a master when it comes to winning the Europa League. <\/p>\n

Emery has now won the Europa League on four occasions, three times with Sevilla and now once with Aston Villa. <\/p>\n

Aston Villa Must Make U-Turn<\/p>\n

\"emiliano<\/p>\n

Aston Villa need to make an immediate U-turn on the future of Emi Martinez after comments he made after their Europa League final triumph.<\/p>\n

The Argentine goalkeeper has been linked with a move away from the club<\/a>, and reports have claimed that they are even searching for replacements at the moment.<\/p>\n

Emery and his team need to do everything they can to convince the Argentine international to remain at Villa Park after what he revealed on Wednesday evening. <\/p>\n

After the game, Martinez confirmed that he broke his finger during the warm-up. Every time he caught the ball, his finger was going the other way, but he put everything on the line for the club. <\/p>\n

\u201cToday I broke my finger during the warm-up! But.. for me, every bad thing brings something good. I\u2019ve done this my whole life and I\u2019ll keep doing it! \u201cI have never had a broken finger before. Every time I caught the ball, it went the other way. But these are things you have to go through, and I\u2019m proud to defend Aston Villa.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martinez’s Commitment is What Villa Need<\/p>\n

\"Emiliano<\/p>\n

That kind of commitment is exactly what Emery needs going forward as they look to tackle the Champions League next season.<\/p>\n

Selling him would be a disaster, especially after the Argentine has enjoyed a phenomenal campaign with the Midlands club, both domestically and in Europe.<\/p>\n

Martinez still managed to keep a clean sheet despite his broken finger and refused to pull out of the clash. Instead, he went on to help his side secure the Europa League.<\/p>\n

Villa need to make an immediate U-turn, stop searching for replacements, and try to convince him to stay at the club. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aston Villa need to make an immediate U-turn on one of their star’s futures after comments he made…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":459809,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-459808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=459808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459808\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/459809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=459808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=459808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
