Malcorra era starts: debut assist and clear message after rout | OneFootball

Independiente once again left a good impression in the Río de la Plata Series and defeated Everton of Chile 5-3 in Montevideo, in a friendly match that combined goals, intensity, and positive signs ahead of the tournament. One of the highlights of the night was the debut of Ignacio Malcorra, who made his first appearance with a backheel assist and left a good impression.

After the match, the midfielder was clear about the team's current moment and his adaptation: “I’m getting to know my teammates, I’m feeling good,” said the Red’s newest signing. At 38 years old, Malcorra showed class and quickly developed an understanding with the rest of the midfield.

In that sense, the former Rosario Central player emphasized the team’s direction during this stage of preparation. “The important thing is that the team is on the right track,” he pointed out, valuing the results and the performance shown by the team led by Gustavo Quinteros.

Finally, Malcorra explained the importance of these matches and the internal competition within the squad: “These friendlies help us get into rhythm, at first it’s a bit tough. We have a very good squad, anyone can play.” Independiente will wrap up their tour in Uruguay on Friday against Montevideo Wanderers.
