After seven years at Aston Villa, Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez was officially presented as the new goalkeeper for Chelsea, which paid just over 8 million euros for his arrival and offered him a contract for two seasons.
The Mar del Plata native already had his first contact with the squad led by Xabi Alonso and won't have to wait long to make his debut. Just a few hours after his presentation, the Argentine was chosen to be a starter against Brighton, for the second match of the Premier League, instead of the Spanish Robert Sánchez.
In his first interview with the official channels of the London club, the world champion explained that the opportunity to join Chelsea did not raise too many doubts for him. "I am delighted to be at this football club. For me and my family, coming to Chelsea was an easy decision and I am euphoric; I can't wait to get started", he expressed.
The goalkeeper also made it clear what he aims for in this new stage, especially after a last season in which Chelsea failed to add a title to their trophy cabinet. "I am all about passion. I give everything in every match. I want to be successful here. I come to a winning club and I want to win titles. I am a person who wants to win in everything I do and I want to bring that to this football club because it is a club that wins titles, so I think it is a good combination", he stated.
His personality was also highlighted during the presentation. "I am pure passion and I play with my heart. I will give 100% in every match, in every training so that the club, my teammates, and the fans feel proud", he assured.
