from this day Javier Galan leads two stats The league. The player who wins the most one-on-one duels over possession of the ball on the pitch is also the player who plus minutes add so far in the championship. The left side of the Celtic has advanced in the ranking of the incombustible to the cadista pacha hawthornsanctioned for accumulation of cards.
request for Edward Coudet last summer, the Chacho is squeezing the most out of the lane for whom the Celtic entity paid four million euros to Huesca. Galán has started in the 26 games played and has only been substituted twice: in the 89th minute of the duel with Athletic in Balaídos and at 61′ of the visit to Vallecas. In total, the winger from Badajoz accumulates 2,310 minutes.
Extremadura’s mark is only surpassed by four goalkeepers. Thibaut Courtois, Jan Oblak and Matthias Dituro they sign a plenary session of minutes (2340′), while David Soria 5′ has been lost. Among the field players there are four who are 60′ from Galán: Espino, Eder Militao, Leandro Cabrera and Robin LeNormand.
The first position of the Celtic side is threatened by the warning condition that has been dragging for three weeks. Against him Cadiz He saw the fourth yellow card and is part of the list of six sky-blues that are one card away from completing their cycle. If Galán received the fifth, the candidates to replace his loss would be the youth squad Kevin Vazquez and Joseph Fontan.
Neither of his two potential replacements is a specific left-back.. In the Celtic template there is no natural alternative figure to Galan. A risky bet in the planning of the squad that, for the moment, has not created any headaches for the coaching staff.
