society

Rinaldo Martino began his football career in 1941 with the CA San Lorenzo de Almagro club in Buenos Aires , having previously worked in the youth department of CA Belgrano de Rosario, a smaller club in his hometown. For San Lorenzo he played 223 games in the Primera División , the highest Argentine football league, and scored 142 goals. In the 1942 season, Martino was the top scorer in the Primera División with 25 goals in 30 games. In 1946 he won with San Lorenzo, where at that time also Ángel Zubieta and René Pontoni played, among others , the Argentine football championship by a first place in the table with four points ahead of the Boca Juniors . In 1949 he left San Lorenzo de Almagro and went to Europe to Juventus Turin . There he played football very successfully for a year and won Serie A in 1949/50 , the first season after the crash of the big team of the previously dominant AC Turin , in which all team members were killed, with five points ahead of AC Milan . Rinaldo Martino scored 18 goals in 33 games in this one season in Italy . Despite this good rate, he moved to Nacional Montevideo in Uruguay after only one year at Juventus Turin . With the club he won the Uruguayan championship twice, in 1950 and 1952, and played here for three years with a short break when he was active for the Boca Juniors for a year. In 1953 Martino ended his active career at CA Cerro .

National team

Rinaldo Martino made international matches for both the Argentine and Italian national football teams . In 1942 he made his debut, then playing for CA San Lorenzo, in the selection of Argentina in a 4-1 victory over the 1930 world champions , Uruguay . Martino was part of the Argentine team that won the Campeonato Sudamericano in 1945 . He was also able to win the Campeonato Sudamericano in 1946 with Argentina, this time winning the title without losing a single point. However , Rinaldo Martino did not have the honor of taking part in a soccer world championship , as there were no world tournaments between 1938 and 1950 because of the Second World War and his best soccer time fell during this period. He almost could have taken part in a World Cup after all, because he made an international match for Italy in 1949, where good players were just wanted after the crash of the Grande Torino , which also made up the majority of the national team. However, there was only one game for Martino, he was not nominated by national coach Ferruccio Novo for the 1950 World Cup in Brazil .
