Roberto Torres, the "Prince of Persia" who returned in search of the crown
After playing as captain of CA Osasuna in the first two knockout rounds of the current Copa, the player from Navarre, currently in Iran, has been invited by CA Osasuna to enjoy the final.
18 years ago, a young Roberto Torres watched the only Copa final played to date by CA Osasuna on a giant screen located in the Plaza del Castillo in Pamplona. This Saturday he will enjoy it as one more member of the team coached by Jagoba Arrasate.
"I said goodbye as a player of the club in January and Jagoba told me that if there was something to celebrate this season he would like to count on me. Then, as soon as we qualified at San Mamés, I asked my current team for permission and Osasuna were the first ones to want me to experience it from the inside as one more," explains the player from Navarre, who has been playing for Iranian club Foolad since the beginning of this year.
After more than 300 games as a rojillo player, Roberto left the discipline of Osasuna in January to go to Persia, but not before serving as captain during this same edition of the Copa del Rey in the playoffs against CD Fuentes and CD Arnedo, the only ones in which Arrasate's team have not needed extra time to qualify.
"I am part of the success of getting this far", explains Roberto Torres, who has already been present at the training session prior to a historic final for the whole of Navarre: "It's going to be beautiful", summarizes the Osasuna player.
