Mammana, River’s imminent reinforcement, remembers a hard moment: “I was about to throw myself onto the train tracks and they grabbed me by the neck”

A tough story accompanies the imminent new defender of River Plate, Emanuel Mammana, who has already terminated the contract with Zenit of Russia and would be confirmed shortly by the ‘Millionaire’ as a new reinforcement. On the eve of the announcement, the defender spoke about his return to the team and recalled how it helped him when he was on the verge of suicide. “I thank the person who saved me from the bottom of my heart”, He said before facing a new start in Argentina.

In a recent interview, the defender gave details of the most difficult moment of his life, 10 years ago, after suffering the death of his father and being orphaned. “I went through hard things like the loss of my parents, the injuries were ugly moments, but not hard”, He expressed in dialogue with radio La Red.

“Everyone who lost their parents knows how hard it is. I had the urge to commit suicide, I was about to do something crazy. A person who took me out saved my life. I was about to go to training, after two months had passed that I didn’t want to know anything more. I went alone to take the train, I saw it coming and I was about to throw myself, but they grabbed me by the neck of my shirt and threw me against the wall. That person made me fart, I don’t know who he is but I thank him from the bottom of my heart. Today I have my family and my children. My parents would not have wanted that”, Said this Thursday Mammana, who had already lost her mother as a child.

In July 2022 he had already discussed the matter with Olé: “It was two or three months that cost me a lot. But despite the pain, I was able to get out. And River helped me. I realized that at home they had fought so much for me to arrive that I could not throw everything away because of that sadness. I had to fulfill my dad’s dream: he wanted me to get to First”, He revealed that time.

In this new opportunity, the defender also remembered the sacrifices of his father so that he would not go hungry, thanks to the help of the club of his loves. “As a boy I ate thanks to what River gave me. My dad said he wasn’t hungry for me to eat”, He remembered excitedly.

Back home

With River Plate, everything is almost closed, acknowledged Emanuel Mammana, who comes from playing on loan at Sochi.

“I am making a very big effort because he wants to go home ”, he added. “(To Gallardo) I told him that I want to do the best I can for the team. When the chance arose, I asked that everything be rejected. I didn’t want to hear any offers. Things with River are quite advanced. God willing, we will soon turn around”, Sentenced the 25-year-old player.
