Although he alternated good and bad during the management of Marcelo Gallardo, the skilful footballer who emerged from the Independiente youth academy began to show all his worth since Micho landed, since he has three goals and two assists in 13 appearances (he started only in six ).

“The coaching staff and my teammates give me the confidence so that I can develop on the field, they give me all the tools and I have to be able to help from there,” outlined the 24-year-old after the win against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata . He also explained that ”Martín asks us a lot to play with one or two touches, I think that is what is helping me to be calmer and make better decisions. I have the confidence of my colleagues. The coach asks me to play inside on the left, behind their two midfielders and I move freely with Nacho (Fernández) and Rodri (Aliendro)”.

The case of the central marker is similar to that of Barco, since he also came from the MLS (Inter Miami) and was criticized for some of his first games. Despite the fact that he was not a starter in the first official games of the new cycle, Leandro González Pirez established himself as one of Martín Demichelis’s favorite defenders. He started the last eight professional league games and contributed two goals (against Tigre and against Racing de Córdoba, in the Argentine Cup).

From Núñez, the purchase option of 200 thousand dollars will be used to keep the entire pass. The Argentine team has time to execute the clause until December of this year. “It is a similar operation, although there was no purchase obligation. But for little money we can keep his pass ”, they reported from the club.

“It was as a loan, but it could also be considered as a purchase in installments,” added the same source to this medium. It is worth noting that if the footballer plays more than 10 official matches (it is counted if he plays more than 45 minutes) a plus of 100 thousand is paid to the MLS.
