All this does not mean that one of the captains will sit on the bench, but he must put an end to the ghosts.
It is clear that for the technical body Oblak And he is constant. Therefore, to return to the occupation of the red and white Porter before Valencia This Sunday at Civitas Metropolitano. After a gray start with two goals installed in front of Villareal, Kept his goalkeeper at zero in front of Girona And against Espanyol. Before those who Michelle He had a big intervention when cutting a snapshot of Abel Ruiz And in front of the parrots he had a calmer meeting. But in each of the ish he closes and helps his team as he has been doing since his landing at the club.
