San Jose Earthquakes scouting report: Luciano Abecasis

Luciano Abecasis signed with the San Jose Earthquakes in the offseason, a versatile fullback who will likely take over for Nick Lima as the starting right back in 2021.

A newcomer to MLS, what can we glean from the player’s career to date? Some info on the new defender.

Strengths

The Argentine is a veteran, now 30 years old, and he will offer some experience, albeit in a new location. Abecasis has played for a Grande in Argentina, in River Plate, he has some experience in Italy and Paraguay, and while the United States will likely offer a slightly bigger culture shock, the Latin American core on the team, including the coaching staff, should help in Abecasis’ acclimation.
