One of the last players to make the leap from Argentine to European football is
Carlos Alcaraz
.
From the Argentine Professional League to the Premier League.
And he is doing it in a great way.
So far in 2023, the 20-year-old midfielder has played 14 games (nine starts) and scored three goals with the Southampton shirt, last in the English championship.
The former
Racing
, who was sold for more than 13 million euros, talked about his present in England and how he sees the Professional League.
In addition,
he did not mince words to give his opinion on the collection of Santiago Maratea to help Independiente
.
Carlos Alcaraz scored against Arsenal (EFE).
While the rhythm of the collection organized by Santiago Maratea to pay the Independiente debts slowed down a bit in relation to the first days, Charly Alcaraz was forceful about what he thinks of the situation that the Red is going through.
"I'm not going to lie. If it's for me that they go to B. It's not my problem, I as a fan and former Racing player, the truth would not bother me if they leave. Their debts or their problems is not something that They concern me. For me, let them go calmly", threw the former Racing in a note with DSports.
It is not the first time that Alcaraz is spicy with his statements
.
In the 2022 Champions Trophy he made a celebration that caused a lot of anger among the Boca players and he continued it after the game: "There was a lot of anger when they came out champions of the tournament, who made fun of us and a teammate of ours a bit. In The moment bothered us, I know it's something from folklore, but
maybe we made fun of it too and they took it badly
. Why do they have to get angry if nothing happened when they named ours?"
More quotes from Carlos Alcaraz
"
I still have to adapt, especially with English because it is difficult for me to speak
. Playing here (in the Premier League) is a big dream for me.
The best teams, the best players. It fills me with pride
. Today we are in a bad moment with the team but we still have chances to stay and that would be very nice because it is what we all want".
"
There are many clubs watching, not only from England, our football because there are very good players, very good teams
. But I think that above all they watch it because there are many good young players like Buonanotte or Perrone. The players are spoken of very well Argentines because they like to go forward and not shrink. Garnacho, who is the most established in the league, is highly regarded. The same goes for Enzo (Fernández) and Julián (Álvarez) who were world champions and are here in the Premier".
"
I would first thank Gago for what he taught me and for the treatment he always had with me
and I would tell him to continue going to train with the same intensity as always, as he did from the first day that he will do very well in Racing or wherever you happen to be".
