He is weaker at the first, but he has gotten stronger in the next.

Despite often shown as having good skill at football, Martin gets envious seeing acrobatic tricks used by other teams. This led him to recruit Willy as his technical coach. However he gave up on trying acrobatic moves after injuring himself. Martin gets injured on many other times, he broke his hands against team Kelapa Muda after getting overtrained a night before while Udin refuses to substitute him.

He get injured again when harassed by Team Bikers sometime in the inter-district tournament, then he get a waist injury before a match against Pondok Kopi. Martin with his teams are beaten up by a punk gang after they get misunderstood as members of other gang.

Martin constantly get rejected from his RT, RW, village, and district selections. He relies on Udin's influence to let him join other teams, along with most of his recurring teammates.

Martin doesn't agree with Udin's decision to marry their housekeeper Surti, mostly because Surti is Bruceli's mom.

Before inter-district tournament, the head of Pondok Kelapa district arranged a joint team between Team Madun and Team Martin on a friendly match against team Wushu. Martin and Udin strongly objected this, but had to unwillingly follow the headman's order. To prevent Madun from attending the match, Martin set up a scandal by ordering an agent to accuse Madun for stealing his phone. The plan is fairly succesful, but before the match started, the agent leaked Martin's plan to the audiences. The agent bertrayed Martin because Martin paid him too low for such riskful act. On the match, Martin tries to take the ball from Madun's feet despite being teammates. But Pondok Kelapa still won eventually.

After a friendly match against Team Busker of Pondok Kopi, Martin's teammates starting to refuse his order, leaving Martin and Willy to be ganged by members of Pondok Kopi.

Martin again use his trickery against Pondok Jahe, at first he use a fishnet to trap the team and defame Madun, but doesn't successful. He used similar trick to Hasan of Pondok Kurma by using a sandbag pendulum to injure him and defame Madun again. The plan initially succeded, but when Zaenab threatened to spoil his plan to Pondok Kurma, Martin got panicked and rushing to Pondok Kurma to protect his name. This act make Pondok Kurma to be suspicious of Martin, and once again foil his plan. Before the first match agains Pondok Jahe, Martin take both team on a treat. He offered poisoned drink to Pondok Jahe, but failed as Rizal and Fatur mistakenly drink those. Pondok Duren had to suffer 0-3 loss due to Rizal and Fatur's terrible form.

Udin ordered Martin to stop play dirty in the second match against Pondok Jahe. Martin seems to found his training spirit again, but he gets too cocky for trying to show his imperfect Thousand Shadow Kick against Team Rocker. The match against Pondok Jahe seem to goes well on Pondok Duren side, but Martin's poor performance made Udin taken him out for the first time.
