Aston Villa goalkeeper Martinez: I want to win silverware here

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez says his best years are ahead of him.

At 30, Martinez is a World Cup winner.

And the Argentina international told Goal: "They have said that I have achieved everything in football (including the WC gold), but I haven't yet. I want to continue by winning trophies with my club, by playing and winning the Champions League.

"I just turned 30, but it is something I will continue to work towards. My best years are ahead of me.

"I always set goals for myself. I can't play without doing it. I have to have something to aim for. I have done it with the national team, with my old club. I've done good things with Aston Villa, we almost made it to European play, but I want to win a title here.

"We haven't won anything for many, many years. With a good coach here and some really good players, I'm trying to fix it."
