German Valera News: Leads team in tackles Saturday

Valera registered one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Mallorca.

Valera won 16 of his 20 individual duels while succeeding in five dribbles and a game-high five tackles during the loss. The midfielder operated in a wide role on the right flank after being used on the opposite side in previous appearances. He was unable to improve on his tallies of two goals and two assists in 15 games played. Despite being the team's top set-piece taker, he's more valuable in open play in both attacking and defensive aspects.
