All the lights in Eibar point to Fabian
Orellana. Many of Eibar's hopes for permanence revolve around his talent, but his situation also raises concern. The armored fan looks at him suspiciously, holding his breath as he reveals whether his footballer capable of making a difference on the offensive pitch will end the season wearing Barça. His contract, like that of five other footballers on the squad, ends on Tuesday of next week. The countdown is underway and the future of the 34-year-old playmaker remains a unknown.
Balance cross your fingers to be able to count on his services, at least, until the end of the course, but the shadow of the doubt continues to plague the gunsmith day by day. Orellana is an unpredictable type, for the good and for the bad. With the ball at his feet, his spontaneity has offered Eibar multiple joys since he joined the team in January 2018. A spark that can ignite at any time, as the coach of Zaldibar.
Last November, Balance He released the best possible definition of the Chilean footballer. “It is a red green mouse, you never know where it will come from. It's a bastard. You have to understand him, because if he can't send you to take a bag and then it's worse, you lose it. But it gives us a lot ”.
His photo on ‘Instagram’
Eibar observes how its main reference walks on that wire since the return to competition. His photo on the social network Instagram with several teammates and the phrase “30/906/2020, they will be missed”, hinting at the end date of his contract, made the red light go on within the gunsmith club . However, the Chilean has started in two of the three games played after the break (in Getafe he jumped onto the pitch in 85 '). He was discreet in Valdebebas and his contribution was key to score a point against Athletic, including a penalty goal.
It is not lost on anyone that their contribution must be basic at this end of the course. If Orellana packs up on June 30 and does not play the last six league games, Eibar would lose their offensive beacon. This is reflected in the statistics. Of the 31 goals scored by the gunsmiths this year, the Chilean has had a direct incidence in almost half: he has signed 8 goals and 6 assists. In addition, as a significant fact, he is the fourth player in the League with the most dribbles, behind Messi, Fekir and Anguissa.
Although the attacking midfielder's future seems tied to Valladolid for the coming year, in Ipurua they hope to count on him for the last league battles. A case similar to that of five other footballers: Escalante, Of
Blasis, Pedro
Lion, Charles and the loan Cristoforo, in addition to the injured Ramis. All would be free within a week if an agreement is not reached beforehand to continue until the curtain closes on the course. The next few days seem intense in the arms offices with the aim that Balance you can count on all your men in the fight for permanence. Starting by Orellana.
