Celtic’s latest signing Marcelo Saracchi says the pressure of playing for a big club makes him a better player.<\/p>\n
The Uruguayan left-back has signed on a season-long loan from Boca Juniors, subject to international clearance.<\/p>\n
Saracchi, 27, started his career with Danubio in his homeland, before spells with River Plate, RB Leipzig – with whom he faced Celtic in 2018 – Galatasaray and Levante.<\/p>\n
He switched to Boca in 2023 and has won nine caps for his country.<\/p>\n
“The pressure of playing for a big club is something that I thrive on,” Saracchi told CelticTV. <\/p>\n
“It doesn’t hinder me, it’s the opposite. I look forward to it and I think it pushes me to be better.<\/p>\n
“I’ve known for a little while that I was coming so there’s a lot of excitement there and I can’t wait to get started, get out and get playing, and I’m looking forward to it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Celtic’s latest signing Marcelo Saracchi says the pressure of playing for a big club makes him a better…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":104974,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-104973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
