To make Diego Godn forget, almost nothing, in his first season to center quarter. From being the leader of the rojiblanca defense to barely playing when the other three centrals are out due to injury or penalty. This has been the jump back of a Felipe Monteiro that he will have a new extra ball against Celta to show that he is once again the one from his first year.
The almost certain loss of Mario Hermoso due to his positive in Covid forces Simeone to return to pull a Felipwhat comes after being clearly surpassed by lvaro Negredor in Cdiz. The veteran 9 won the duel more than the former Porto and scored the two goals of a team that scared the rojiblancos in the body due to improper concentration errors of the best defensive network of the championship.
Although Felipe is not living his best moment of formthe reality is that the injuries (in the case of Gimnez) or the Covid (in the case of Hermoso) have given him the option of playing 22 matches this season, 16 of them in LaLiga (although it is true that only nine of the latter played them complete). In several, in addition, it was the resource of Simeone to lose time or strengthen the air game (strong point of the center) against rival attacks.
Felipe: “We know how strong Real Madrid is, but we are very well prepared”
A few figures enough, at least that is the way it should be, so that the footballer (who finds it difficult to catch the form) would regain his lofty level from last year. For now, and if the surprise with Hermoso does not jump, I will have a new option to claim against Celta to stop being the team’s central quarter. Something unthinkable a year ago, when no one doubted his leadership.
