a fan of Independent He contributed 250,000 pesos to the collection intended to save his club and published the capture of the deposit on social networks. His ex-wife, tired after a traumatic divorce and fed up with that man not paying the monthly alimony for her son, saw the post and immediately undressed the fanatic, denouncing her ultra-reprehensible behavior. In this scenario, many who were crazy about Red came out in defense of the fan because he put his club above any love, even above the love of a son…
Everything happens around this Independent who has just suffered the resignation of the president who took office just four months ago, who is on the verge of relegation and who has no way of facing a debt of just over 20 million dollars. In this context of economic bankruptcy, Santiago Maratea appeared, a 30-year-old influencer who became famous for his various solidarity collections. Now he also decided to help Red…
It seems incredible, but it is real: a giant like Independiente needs a collection made by an influencer to survive. And on top of that, he is an influencer who is not very fond of soccer and who is not even a fan of Red. This is how Maratea explained his singular fanaticism for a football shirt: “I was a River fan. When I wanted to reveal myself against the family, I became a fan of Boca. Later I promised a friend that if I became a fan of Racing, I would be champion. Happened. I became a fan of Racing and came out champion. I am now independent. The truth is that I am from Ezeiza, which is the club where I play. Ezeiza Football Club, which is in Tristán Suárez (on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. That is my real club.”
Red fans rushed to deposit to help their club. They didn’t even care that Maratea charges to help Independiente. Why will he receive money this time, unlike his other collections? He himself argued: “I never made a trust. The trust has a figure called a trustee. The trustee has the obligation to collect money. I found out when we made the trust. It looks great, but that’s why I didn’t look it up. Also, that 5% that I mentioned before is not for me, it is to pay the expenses of the trust. The Board of Directors is not going to take a percentage either and there is no link to bank accounts or anything. It’s very outrageous to think so.”
Delivery Maratea sensation of transparency. Behind him, several former Independiente players stood in a column. In the first 10 hours of collection via Mercado Pago, 400 million Argentine pesos had been collected, almost 1,750,000 dollars. It is a fortune, but there is still more than a long way to go to reach the goal that the influencer set for himself: 20 million dollars. If that amount is exceeded, the rest will go to the Red Minor Divisions.
The goal is to pay the club’s debts
To clear up suspicions, so as not to be tied to the club’s leaders, Maratea remarked: “A trust had to be created to be able to deposit the money, and that trust belongs to the Independiente fans. What they are going to look for is to pay the debts that the club has, which is more than 20 million dollars.” And he specified: “No one can launder money here. It is a transparent collection, where everything must be blank. lawyers and notaries who will be in charge of checking that everything is in the correct way”.
Weights, words and also stories will continue to be added. A Red fan who sells paintings on the field agreed to the conference given by Maratea, approached him and promised that next week he will deposit a percentage of everything he collects in the weekend’s game. Another fan entered with a Lucas Pusineri shirt, former champion with Independiente in 2001, and swore to Maratea that he would auction off that relic and deposit the funds in the collection.
He is King of Cups because he won the Libertadores 7 times and the Intercontinental 2 times. It’s independent. He is a giant on the brink of collapse who needs a fundraiser from an influencer to get back on his feet. A tale story that contains many other stories and, of course, millions.
