Argentinian Federico Sanguinetti has established himself as a key piece in Banfield's defense. In recent matches, his ability to read the game and anticipate opponents' attacks has become evident. During the victory against Godoy Cruz, Sanguinetti not only excelled in ball recovery but also contributed to building plays from the back, creating offensive opportunities for his team.
Since joining the team, the young defender has shown remarkable maturity. His strong work ethic and dedication have impressed coaches and teammates.

This style of play helps Banfield maintain possession and control the pace of the match.
At just 22 years old, and despite his youth, he has been crucial in tough moments. His standout performance in the recent derby against Lanús, where he made several vital clearances, was fundamental for his team to secure a 1-1 draw. Sanguinetti's bravery in aerial duels has drawn special praise, highlighting his importance in Banfield's air game.
In terms of statistics, the defender has recorded a total of 30 interceptions to date. This cements his role as a solid defensive block at the heart of Banfield's backline. Looking ahead, Sanguinetti is one of the club's bright prospects, and all eyes will be on his development in the coming seasons.
