After a slow start, Ignacio Aliseda is finding his groove with the Chicago Fire
Ignacio Aliseda Greg Bartram-USA TODAY Sports As MLS designated players go, Ignacio Aliseda was a bit of a gamble. When he signed with the Chicago Fire, the Argentina native was still only 19 (he’s since turned 20), and unlike most other DPs, he didn’t have a huge amount of first team matches under his belt.
A journalist from Argentina raved about to Hot Time about what fellow Argentinian designated player Gastón Giménez would bring to Chicago. But when we asked him about Aliseda, he wasn’t as sure, calling him “young” and “potentially an asset.” Not the strongest endorsement.
