However, his provocative style of play can hurt opponents. Rocher admitted the Aston Villa star is a phenomenon and a very good goalkeeper. However, his attitude is questionable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">He also admitted that he did not like the Argentina international&#8217;s personality.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Rochette_and_Emiliano_Martinez\"><\/span>About Rochette and Emiliano Martinez<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"831\"><strong>&#8220;Personally, I don&#8217;t like the way he does it.

Everybody has their own personality. I don&#8217;t like that. I&#8217;m more discreet. It worked for him and if he feels comfortable that way, that&#8217;s fine,&#8221; Roche added.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"1148\"><strong>&#8220;Those things don&#8217;t appeal to me and I don&#8217;t like arrogance. I try to be like that as a person and as much as possible I advise my teammates to maintain that profile, because that is our profile as Uruguayans,&#8221; he explained.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"1148\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Martinez_linked_with_departure\"><\/span>Martinez linked with departure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in action (Photo by Stu Forster\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">Meanwhile, Martinez has been consistently linked with a move away from Aston Villa in recent months. He was expected to leave the club during the summer transfer window, but the move never materialized. There are also rumors that he may leave this month. It will be interesting to see if he can secure a move from the West Midlands club in the remaining days of January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">He has put in some quality performances for the Premier League club but has looked mediocre in recent weeks and this could be the perfect time for Aston Villa to sign him.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aston Villa may have a busy January.
