Jota Peleteiro He is a man to the liking of the Soriano coach. This is demonstrated by the full trust you have placed in him. The Galician, despite the fact that he joined on the sixth day, in the last stretch of the transfer market, is already the fourteenth most used player, with a total of 352 minutes.
Against Real Madrid, last Saturday, the midfielder played his first full match as an albiazul. He is very clear about what his coach wants from him. He agrees to sacrifice himself first and is very attentive to send long balls and thus take advantage of the speed of Lucas Pérez.
For its part, Luis Rioja he has raised his level in his second season as an albiazul. The Andalusian wastes physicality in each game, sacrifices himself in defense and increasingly projects himself with greater confidence to attack. Against Barcelona he scored his first goal as an Alava player and against Real Madrid he did a lot of damage in the first hour, being the subject of a demolition in the area that neither Lamb Vega nor the VAR considered it as a penalty. He and Ruben Duarte they form a very solid left-handed band, complementing each other very well in defense and attack.
