Martínez valued the Chilean
For the Xeneize coach, the maturity that Gary Medel can bring to his team is important. “We have the best expectations that they can help us be a better team. That he can contribute to us from his hierarchy and experience both on and off the field so that the little ones can copy that professionalism,” he highlighted.
“We hope it will help us to be a more complete team. That he can dominate the phases of the game that we want to dominate and have that versatility that he has and has shown in recent times to play as a center back or as a midfielder. “That gives us options within the same party,” he added.
In addition, the coach commented on the reasons for Pitbull’s arrival. “I imagine Medel in that versatility that he has. From the game, he shares characteristics with many players we have on the squad. From what he can give us in defensive duels and intensity, perhaps it is a particular characteristic that the team does not have. That’s why he arrived,” he emphasized.
Gary Medel could debut on Wednesday, June 19 for Boca Juniors. His return with the xeneize shirt could take place in the Argentine Cup, where Diego Martínez’s squad will have to face Almirante Brown.
