Fernando: 'Pacheco and the goalkeeping coach helped me save Stuani's penalty'
UD Almería goalkeeper Fernando Martínez states 'I'm so proud to wear the UD Almería shirt and celebrate 100 appearances as a Rojiblanco'
UD Almería Club captain and Goalkeeper Fernando Martínez reached a milestone after clocking up 100 games as a Rojiblanco against Girona FC: 'I'm so proud to wear this shirt after having played 100 games for UD Almería. For me, it's beautiful, very special. Here's to many more!, he exclaimed.
The Murcia native goalie chatted to UDA Radio. In the match, Fernando saved the first of the two penalties that Stuani took: 'We know that he's an expert as he beat records.'
Fernando said: 'He also told me at the end of the game that I stopped him from extending his record of 17 penalties scored in a row in the Primera Division.' 'We've been talking before the game with the goalkeeping coach and Pacheco who has an extensive experience, and they've helped me a lot. We were watching spot-kicks taken by Stuani and it wasn't clear at all since he could've gone right or left and the decision that was made between all of us to make me dive into that side went well in the end,' commented the keeper.
