Igropulo is ideal help for Nagy

Konstantin Igropulo is to sign for Barça Borges for the next three seasons. The player is to leave Chehovski Medvedi and try his luck in the Asobal League.
Xavi Pascual now has a born right back. The Barça coach has two left-handed players for this
position and one player who’s bound to be pleased by the move is Laszlo Nagy, until now the
only right back in the squad.
First year in Asobal League
This will be Igropulo’s first experience of the national League. He has previously
played for Greek outfit Panellinos and top Russian side Chehovski Medvedi.
Just three months ago he played at an Asobal League venue, Ademar León, in a European
competition in which he scored 68 goals last season. Only 24 years old, he could become one of the
all-time greats.
One position, two styles
Konstantin Igropulo comes to FC Barcelona to reinforce the right back position. His partner
will be Laszlo Nagy. Although they play in the same position, the Russian and the Hungarian have
very different styles according to section technical secretary Enric Masip: “Nagy is taller
and shoots from the outside. Igropulo is faster with greater penetration and plays the ball more. A
combination with a middle back like Dani Sarmiento gives us greater speed in attack.”
