Aitor returns under his jurisdiction

Aitor Fernández recovers his essence under sticks. The Arrasate goalkeeper, who alternated in the starting position at the beginning of the season with Dani Cárdenas in the stage of Paco López on the bench, re-establishes his name among the goalkeepers who stop the most in LaLiga.

The Basque is the second in the classification, with 27 interventions, matched with Box (Elche) and Maximiliano (Granada), only behind 28 Hard (Celtic). Dituro and Casilla, so far, have played every minute, while Maximiliano has completed them in five games (he was substituted against Celta in the 76th minute) after winning the game in the eleventh minute. Aaron Escandell.

Aitor, meanwhile, has missed three games so far this season, participating in the remaining six. His first absence was due to obligation, when he was sent off against Real Madrid for touching the ball with his hand outside his area, in a service for the team. To the grade before the Royal Society. Against Elche and Celta he had to watch the game from the bench by technical decision.

In Barcelona, ​​forced by circumstances, due to Cárdenas’s injury, he regained ownership and since then he has completed the last three meetings.

The arrival of Pereira brings him some stability. The Badajoz coach has guaranteed that it will be difficult to get in and out of the eleven, and is in favor of goal rotations. “Aitor has confidence, but Cárdenas is a great goalkeeper. I think that changing every two games is not a good idea”, he reiterated after his premiere against Getafe.

Aitor returns to the habitat that made him shine in his first appearance: with confidence from the bench and being one of the goalkeepers who stops the most. There are things that do not change. The same that Levante is one of the teams that shoot the most in the competition, the opposite reading.
