Universitario de Deportes incorporated Claudio Yacob, their new reinforcement to face the Clausura Tournament (his contract is until December 2023): last Tuesday was his presentation and immediately joined the training at Campo Mar. The Argentine midfielder was attentive to all the indications of Carlos Compagnucci and ready to start working with his teammates.
The Argentine midfielder arrived early in Lurín, where he began stretching and warm-up exercises, in order to start with the work plan. Although it was a day to adapt to the work rhythm, it also served for the coaching staff to see in what conditions he was.
"And give it, Claudio! This was the first training and presentation of our new reinforcement," was the message posted by the club on their official Twitter account, along with the video where Yacob appears, even with excerpts from the statements he gave to the press on the day of his presentation.
After making his debut at Racing Club (2006-12) and showing all his talent, he moved to England to defend the colors of West Bromwich (2012-18) and Nottingham Forest (2018-20) before returning to South American soil. He had a short stint at Nacional de Uruguay (2020) and returned to Argentina, where he played for Huracán (2021) and then for Rosario Central (2022).
Yacob and the position in which he performs best
Universitario presented their new reinforcement: Claudio Yacob, an Argentine midfielder who arrives with the objective of earning a place in the starting eleven and achieving the titles that the club is looking for. During his presentation, the player revealed the motivations that led him to Ate and some clues about his style of play.
"I am a quite versatile player, who brings solidity to the team. My most comfortable position is that of central midfielder," he said at a press conference. When asked about his impressions of the team and how he sees Carlos Compagnucci's squad, he stated, "It's just my first training session, it's a different style of play that I will have to adapt to little by little."
