Emi Martinez must now show international form at club level

Writer James Fudge argues that Chelsea urgently need goalkeeper Emi Martinez to replicate his stellar international performances with Argentina at Stamford Bridge. Martinez recently achieved his 44th clean sheet in 68 appearances for his country following a 7-0 victory against Burkina Faso. However, his start at Chelsea has seen him concede 10 goals in four Premier League appearances without keeping a single clean sheet.

The article notes that defensive frailties continue to hurt Chelsea's results despite effective attacking play. The writer suggests Martinez's authority, mentality, and proven international consistency could significantly stabilize Chelsea's defense if brought to his club duties.
