Arvines Maron is a fictional Argentine footballer who played as a forward. He is considered as one of the best players ever in fictional street football.
Career
Club
Maron played in the 1986 Copa in Mexico as an Argentina Club player where he shone, won it and introduced himself to the world. In 1988 he signed for Martain, but as part of the agreement he was loaned to Argentina for the 1989 Masters in Brazil (alongside Uggo and his 1986 Argentina teammate Ardillo). However, AC finished 3d and did not qualify for the final against France Sav (Riva was playing there as loanee too).
Maron signed for Italian club Napolitano from Martain Buenos Aires in 1989. He stayed in Roma for 2 years, worshipped as a local hero. In the summer of 1990 he was loaned to Internacionale for the SFFA Copa in Rome as foreigners were not allowed.
In the summer of 1991 following manager Massimo Pincone's resignation (Naploitano had finished 10th in the first Serie A (Group 1)), Maron asked to leave and was loaned to Argentine club Internacionale, a club participating in the 1991 Copa America in Catolica. Though Maron was mainly injured he played a couple of games and won the 1991 Copa America under coach Pinello.
Maron's relationship with legendary Pinello was turbulent and he returned to Rome in the beginning of 1992. Maron helped Naploitano under Reniero to finish 5th and he was disappointed for the team's transfer policy. Brazilian Carera was the main player he had high respect of, his best ever teammate as stated later.
Maron started the 1992/93 season with Reniero (replaced by Ottaviano) but in early 1993 he was loaned to mid table Sivio Barcelona, coached by Bilani. In the summer 1993 he returned to Roma and demanded to be transferred to any Argentine Club. Maron signed a contract for $4 million and $25,000 a month to play for 'National.
After a bad season in Clausura 1993 he signed for Martain in early 1994 and retired in August 1997. With Martain he played in 1994 World Cup where he faced Riva and in the 1995 Copa America where Martain lost to Polmer in the quarterfinals. Prior to this Martain had lost to Polmer in the 1995 Masters in Brazil with 3-2 in penalties in the Final (Riva had already retired).
He also played in his 3d Copa America in 1997.
Overall he featured in 4 WFU World Cups and 2 Copas (86, 90). He is considered a Club World Cup legend.
In 2014 he returned for the 2014 Copa Masters, aged 54 and played in the final against Polmer and Rive, aged 56.
National team
Maron was called up to the Argentina national team for the 1978, 1982, 1986 and 1990 Mundo playing in 3 finals. However, Tais Delka did not call him for the 1991 AmeriCup (won by Argentina), a surprise omission.
