There is something magnetic for the viewer in Javier Avilés. Perhaps it is his start, a powerful exception in these times of ironclad tactics and static attacks. It also helps his dribbling after a change of pace or his ability to put it from the band, with which he already has two assists. His esthetic it is another attractive factor. With the pants forever tucked inside, those 90s workmanship give it a modern air. Football paradox. The fact is that this magnetism has not been enjoyed regularly by the fan of the Leganes. Neither does his team, in need of revolutionary footballers such as this young youth squad whose injuries do not allow him to earn the hole he craves so much.
The last one prevented him from being this Sunday in the Tartiere and he points out that he will not reach him Fuenlabrada. An absence that, without being key, did represent an inconvenience in Asturias for Asier Garitano, who has in this boy the only pure extreme to natural leg beyond Róber Ibáñez. Arnáiz and Bua play with a different leg and the rest of the bandmen (Sabin, Brandon, Eraso, Palencia …) they are not pure extremes. In fact, the coach of Bergara He explained his change of system (to defense of three centrals) due to the absences on the wings. Among them, that of Aviles.
It is true that, with the Bergara, He has only played one starting game. It was in Girona, where the boy (like the rest of Leganés) had to defend rather than attack. With that panorama, he looked little and Garitano He put it back in the bank for the next few, where he dusts it whenever things get ugly. Versus Tenerife, Cartagena and Castellón He came off the bench to try to help in the offensive balance of a team that, precisely in those last days, showed little surprise and electricity. The virtues that are in its DNA.
37% of matches away due to injury
Maybe that's why have been in conditions, could have had a relevant role in Oviedo. It was not so. And it's not the first time. The injuries They are punishing excessively. He has already suffered several small ailments that have left him out of several calls, although the longest absence was suffered in autumn, when he missed all of November and December. Fell before Sabadell (October 29) and did not reappear until Fuenlabrada (January 2, called, but without playing), in total, eleven games of absence that represent 37% of the competition. A task that prevents him from consolidating as a regular.
Nor do his virtues help him, which draws in him a extraordinary appeal for revolutionize parties rather than to dominate them from the start. This is how Martí understood it and this is how a Garitano that he has only wielded it to change complicated duels. Total, Aviles accumulates 544 minutes between League (441) and Cup (103).
And all in a course where Aviles It is news since the beginning of the season. His good forms in the final stretch of last year, in First, they earned him a contract with the first team. That was a remarkable novelty because a youth squad had not been listed as a full member among the majors for a long time. The last was Postigo (now in the Levante), in the 14-15, although after repeating it from the Getafe B. Actually, the last batch promoted since Lega B arrived in 2009-2010. Avilés was an exciting exception to which the injuries are not allowing him to have the continuity that he and the Leganes, he would like.
