Luca puts Iraola in trouble

Iraola has a problem — blessed problem — with the imminent return of Dimitrievski. Luca Zidane, 22, has become the owner and lord of the Rayista goal in the League during the absence of the Norman due to suspension (He lost four games for telling the referee: “You are a pimp”) and his good performance has opened the debate on who should occupy the goal when Dimi be available again.

The Balkan began the course as a substitute, since he tested positive for COVID-19 and missed a good part of the preseason. So, youth squad Morro won the trust of the Basque coach, who opted for him until matchday three, in which the Strip fell against Ponferradina 3-0. However, he regained ownership against Tenerife, taking advantage of Dimitrievski's departure with his team. The international has started twelve games until his expulsion.

Luca Zidane landed in Vallecas on the last day of the market and his opportunity was long in coming, debuting on the sixteenth day. He was already pointing out ways in his debut against Leganés, who he deactivated two heads up. And it is that the goalkeeper has known how to take advantage of his minutes and in the 294 disputed so far he has only conceded one goal and it was a penalty (Bogusz, from Logroñés). In addition, his have been two of the eight clean sheets of the team —For five from Dimitrievski and one from Morro.

Throughout his four games, the Spanish-French has shown one of his strengths: the game with his feet. Even getting to dribble a rival, from Las Palmas, with a heel hit inside the area. Beyond that, the numbers also support their work. It has 83.3% of stops, something that only Manolo Reina, from Mallorca, improves with 85.11%. Both are the gold and silver of Segunda. With all this, Morro is being Iraola's cup bet.
