Young footballer JoaquĂn âOsoâ MartĂnez Gauna has sparked excitement in the River Plate world after confessing his biggest professional dream. Born in Spain to Argentine parents, Sevillaâs current left-back did not hide his passion for the club from NĂșñez.
Inherited passion and the dream of the Monumental
At 22, the defender has established himself in Europe, but his roots remain fully intact. In an interview with DSports Radio, he revealed how he experiences his love for the club from afar and his desire to step onto the pitch in the NĂșñez neighborhood.
âMy dad always instilled in me a passion for the club. We always wake up at four in the morning to watch the matches here in Europe. One of my dreams is to play for River someday,â the wing-back confessed.
On Lionel Scaloniâs radar
MartĂnezâs excellent form in LaLiga has not gone unnoticed. Argentina national team head coach Lionel Scaloni has already praised him publicly and confirmed that he is among the young prospects being monitored as part of the generational transition. In response, âOsoâ was emphatic: âIâve always been clear that I wanted to play for Argentina. I feel Argentine, just as I always have.â
