Medrán’s backing and the Sabalero history

The former San Martín de Tucumán and Newell’s Old Boys player acknowledged that El Sabalero’s interest had been there since the summer, but this time Ezequiel Medrán’s call was decisive. “Today we talked a bit with Medrán, he also wanted me here, so that helps you and motivates you,” García revealed.

The new winger’s characteristics

When introducing himself to the microphones, the attacker detailed how he moves on the field and what tools he will bring to the team’s attack:

The objective and a direct message to the fans

García took the opportunity to leave a clear message for all Sabalero supporters, embracing the demands of wearing the red-and-black shirt in the pursuit of a return to the top flight. The player emphasized the greatness of the institution, saying it is “a big club from the interior, with a lot of history, with a lot of people.”

To meet the fans’ expectations, the forward said the key will be getting back to basics: “We have to recover that identity that people know, the one it has always used, so maybe try to convey that to the fans.” With that competitive mindset, the new signing concluded by making clear that his only goal is promotion: “That’s the main objective, I come with that mentality, with the best expectations, I want to give my best, go down in the club’s history, leave my mark, and well, at the end of the year, we can talk about achieving it.”
