Malcorra era kicks off: debut assist, clear message after thrashing | 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 featured 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 strong impression.

After the match, the midfielder was clear about the team's 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 noted, valuing the results and the performance the team led by Gustavo Quinteros has been showing.

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.
