Charly Alcaraz, on the income to save Independiente: “If it’s up to me, let them go to B”

One of the latest players to make the leap from Argentinean to European football is Carlos Alcaraz. From the Argentine Professional League to the Premier League. And he’s doing it great. So far in 2023, the 20-year-old midfielder has played 14 games (nine starts) and scored three goals for Southampton, bottom of the English league. The former racing, sold for over 13 million euros, spoke about his present in England and how he sees the Professional League. Moreover, He didn’t mince words when expressing his opinion on Santiago Maratea’s campaign to help Independiente.

While the pace of the collection organized by Santiago Maratea to settle Independiente’s debts has slowed down a bit compared to the first few days, Charly Alcaraz has been decided on what he thinks of the situation the Reds are going through. “I won’t lie. If it’s for me that they go to B. It’s not my problem, me as a fan and former Racing player, the truth wouldn’t bother me if they left. Their debts or their problems are not something that it concerns me, for me let them go calmly”, launched the ex Racing in a note to DSports.

It is not the first time that Alcaraz has been spicy with his statements. In the 2022 Champions Trophy he made a party that caused a lot of anger among the Boca players and he continued it after the match: “There was a lot of anger when champions of the tournament came out, who made fun of us and a our teammate a bit.Right now it bothered us, I know it’s a folklore thing, but maybe we teased him too and they took it the wrong way. Why must they be angry if nothing happened when they called ours?”

More quotes from Carlos Alcaraz

“I still have to adapt, especially with English because it is difficult for me to speak. To play here (in the Premier League) is a very 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 it would be very nice because that’s what we all want.”

“There are many clubs that watch our football, not only from England, because there are excellent players, excellent teams. But I think they see it above all because there are so many good young people like Buonanotte or Perrone. People speak highly of the Argentinian players because they like to go forward and not retreat. Garnacho, which 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 League.”

“First of all I would like to thank Gago for what he taught me and for the treatment he always had with me and I would tell him to continue training with the same intensity as always, as he has done since day one. He will do very well in racing or wherever he has to be.”
