Part 2/7:
Palmeiras' management views Martínez as an immediate replacement for Gabriel Menino, who occupied a similar role in the midfield. Considered a "number five" midfielder, Martínez is also versatile enough to fill the "number eight" position. His technical skill and ability to facilitate transitions from defense to attack made him an attractive choice for the squad. Having previously played for Bragantino, the expectations surrounding Martínez are tempered by his past experience, where he failed to meet the expectations set by the coaching staff.
