The new Albiceleste No.1 faces his biggest challenge yet in international colours in the shape of the lethal Uruguay duo at the Copa America
It took barely a week for Emiliano Martinez to receive his formal introduction to the rough-and-tumble world of South American football.
Prior to his Argentina debut against Chile on June 3, the Aston Villa goalkeeper had held the curious distinction of never having played a competitive professional game in his home nation.
He was just 18 when he left boyhood club Independiente for Arsenal, meaning that clash in Santiago del Estero was his first taste of action in Argentina. And in the second World Cup qualifier, Colombia defender Yerry Mina made sure that he left his mark on the shot-stopper.
