Patricio Pacifico has made an instant impression with Barcelona Atletic after signing in the winter from Uruguayan club Defensor Sporting. The transfer does include an option to make the deal permanent and the Catalans have already decided to take that up.
We had to wake up early, so I just grabbed some clothes from the top of my wardrobe and packed my suitcase. I thought that we'd get there, then go to the hotel, have a shower and get changed. We arrived and it was really busy straight away, he says, looking back on the day of his medical. We went straight from the airport to the hospital and then on to the training ground it was non-stop.
He was outstanding, wasn't he? This was a really orthodox 10 role, because we had Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi that were flat too. He was the guy, central. And I think you've got to play quite high to affect the game. Make sure you get into the box. He obviously got into the box for both the goals. He wins the ball. He started to win the ball better than he did earlier on in the season.
