Elche was balsam for Perea

If there is a player who came out of the game revitalized against Elche, it is Perea. The Cádiz winger found his balsam in Martínez Valero, in a season that is not being easy for him in terms of the minutes available to him. The manchego came from a campaign in which he was a fixture in the onces of Cervera: ninth player by minutes of last season, in which scored five goals and also gave two assists. But nevertheless, this course has lost the limelight that he found during the promotion year.

This season, Perea had only been able to enjoy 92 minutes until the Elche match. Against the people of Elche he entered by 'accident' in minute 30, replacing the injured Jairo and His contribution was key. The yellow team improved after the change, with a great display of the manchego on both bands. In addition to his boots, the measured center came out at the head of Álvaro Giménez, so that he scored the tying goal. But Perea contributed much more. Facing goal he had three occasions. He gave 54 touches of the ball, with a success of 85% and entered 13 duels during the 70 minutes he had. Perea had already done 20 good minutes against Real Sociedad and his great match against Elche, augurs him more prominence in future matches.

The change of system to 4-4-2, the emergence of Pombo, the arrival of Jairo … there are many reasons why the winger has been losing prominence. Cervera pointed out another one at a press conference in early October. “He has done the preseason well, he still has quality, but he has to know that this year is different, that we are not going to be able to take the ball to the corner for him one on one, he would suffer in the round trip … But if he remains involved and with his head firmly settled he has always been a lopsided player. I see the team with a point of grit rather than quality and that is why Pombo now plays before him. “

“I entered the left wing, but as the game went by, the coach has changed my position. I have tried to do my best where I have played,” Perea commented on the club's website. Perea's work is undeniable. During the second part of the 2018-19 season, he left on loan to Extremadura in search of minutes and his great work in the Barça team returned him to Cádiz. In the absence of fast left wingers, Cervera repositioned Perea in that position to end up being one of the important players during the promotion year. Now, after his great match against Elche, he 'seeks' to make it difficult for the coach.
