Guido Rodríguez: balance, leadership and omnipresence for Valencia CF’s midfield
The world champion with Argentina arrives to add strength in both the defensive and attacking phases
“It’s not all about scoring goals for us strikers. It’s important to help the group and I always liked teamwork”. Kevin Gameiro says so when he is asked about the striker’s role. These words definitely match his numbers in the pitch, as he is the 5º striker with the most dangerous passes per minute in LaLiga, a classificatory standing led by Leo Messi.
Marcelino wants his attackers to have mobility and depth, a situation that allows footballers to generate spaces in the rival’s box. Gameiro sums 11 dangerous passes in the 429 minutes played in LaLiga. He’s only got four strikers before him: Messi and Dembélé (FC Barcelona), Borja Iglesias and Sergio García (RCD Espanyol).
