Lisandro Martínez is praised by the supporters of Ajax for his commitment and duel power. The 23-year-old defender owes the nickname ‘Slagerij Martínez’ to this, but the Argentinian himself is not satisfied with that. “When I’m on the field, I forget the world around me and want to win at all costs. Yet the comparison is not entirely correct “, Martínez tells us Ajax Life.
Martínez thinks he has more to offer than a ‘butcher’. “I also have to rely on my technique”, says the South American, who is therefore not fully recognized by the nickname. “I will never consciously injure an opponent. In Argentina they called me the pit bull. That covers my playing style better. I bite into my opponent.”
Furthermore, Martínez is asked what Ajax’s away shirt would look like if he were in charge. “I really like the current black away shirt in Europe, but I would do the opposite: a completely white away shirt, underneath white shorts and white socks”, said the center-back and left back.
