The front Stefan Scepovic He is already one of the malaguista team and will be this Sunday in Logroño waiting for the federations of Japan and Spain to process his international transfer certificate (CTI) to be able to debut. If the procedure is resolved in time, the Serbian could even play his first minutes as a blue and white because the coach, Sergio Pellicer, has taken a pleasant impression of his first training sessions this week.
«At the level of weight and fat he is prepared. I’m happy because I see him in good shape, ”acknowledged the Málaga coach, who celebrated the arrival of the striker, and of whom he offered an X-ray of what he will be able to contribute in the remainder of the competition. «He is going to give us one more alternative in attack, which we are in short supply. It is one more piece that will help us. He is one more soldier for the squad and help us achieve the objective. A player ‘9’ of reference, that unloads, with aerial game … », analyzed.
In addition, Pellicer appreciated that the player’s attitude has been positive in his early days. “You see hope and Málaga players have to come to start to shine,” he said. at the same time that he launched a reflection on the good performance that the incorporation of players who come from some seasons performing at levels not expected due to many different circumstances is giving the team.
In the case of Stefan (he prefers that in Spain they call him that because it is easier than because of his surname), he recently finished an exotic adventure through the Japanese Second Division (in the Machida Zelvia), and he has taken the idea of returning to Spanish football with great enthusiasm, where he offered his best version in his first stage with Sporting de Gijón. In fact, thanks to that season (13-14, in which he scored 23 goals), Celtic bet on him by paying almost three million euros to the Gijon team.
It is another positive point that he develops with the language and format of the category, where he played in two stages, not counting his time in the First Division with Getafe (with the Azulón team he scored a goal against Malaga). In addition, his father and brother also played in Spain. In general, a profile that Málaga feel very proud to have been able to sign until the end of the season to fill the void that Chavarría had left. One of the doubts was, obviously, the attacker’s physical condition (who suffered a serious knee injury in 2019), but in his first sessions at La Rosaleda he has offered good feelings.
