When the last season ended, Gabriel Paulista was left in no man’s land. He is also not among the veterans selected for sporting or non-sporting reasons such as Samu Castillejo and Edinson Cavani or belonging to the hard core Ruben Baraja I want to maintain at all costs José Luis Gayà, Jaume Doménech or even Mouctar Diakhaby. But the center back was clear that he wanted to stay at all costs and he conveyed it that way. The coach decided to bet on him and now the injury Diakhaby This gives him the opportunity to be the leader of the defense.
The French central defender, defensive reference of Deck of cards first as a midfielder and then as a center back, he would be out for several weeks after injuring his left ischium and his absence came just as Paulista was recovering from a muscle injury. The Brazilian was a starter in the first three days of the Liga but had to retire in that third match Osasuna and in dry dock for a month. Against true He played the last 35 minutes and against Betis this Sunday he was again the starter in the middle of the defense.
In Diakhaby In dry dock there is no other center with a hierarchy in the squad. Cenk Özkacar He’s 23 years old, he’s in his second season with the squad and alternating solid performances with important disconnections. At 19 years old Christian Mosquera This season he made his debut in the first team and, as Baraja himself explained, he still lacks “poso”. But it is what it is, unless he converts the veteran full-back Dimitri Foulquier.
But, in addition to confirmation Paulista as leader, Deck of cards You also need to be proactive and look for alternatives in case the plague of injuries spreads. So far, promising Yarek Gasiorowskithe great promise of the quarry in that position afterwards Mosquerahas been summoned to Seville. It is also Ruben Iranzo and it is in that dynamic Cesar Tarrega, who does not have as much projection as the central defender of Polish origin but has less experience. But the first thing is to change the leader.
