President Bartomeu, Eric Abidal praise new Barcelona signing Malcom

Barcelona took the time to present their newest signing, 21-year-old Brazilian winger Malcom, on Thursday night at the Nike headquarters in Portland, Oregon, and both President Josep Maria Bartomeu and Technical Secretary Eric Abidal had some nice words for Malcom.
