La Liga News 24/7
With the Xmas break upon us. It's time to give homage to the best players of Round 16 in the Spanish League. 3-5-2 this week.
Goalkeeper: De Gea (Atlético de Madrid): What can I say about this kid, but he made some key saves for los Indios. He makes it look so easy.
Defenders: Aythami (Deportivo La Coruña), Dominguez (Atlético), Lora (Sporting Gijón): Nothing makes me happier than a defender who can score (Aythami & Dominguez), well, just maybe a defender who provides a killer assist (Lora).
Midfield: DiMaria ( Real Madrid), Tino Costa (Valencia), Tiago (Atlético), Santi Cazorla (Villarreal), Javi Martinez (Athletic Bilbao) : So many amazing midfielders play in La Liga. The technical, passing, possession game is the perfect place for the creative mid to strut their stuff. Each player was key for their teams in their own special way. DiMaria came through with the game winning goal from an acute angle for Real Madrid, against the odds. Valencia's Tino Costa had a trademark stunning blast from afar, along with a solid performance against a very tough to beat Real Sociedad. Goal of the week, for sure. Tiago scored from two headers and had an assist in an important recovery game for Atléti. The reigning champs were just knocked out of the Europa League. Santi Cazorla had a sublime performance, controlling the run of play, scoring, and thrilling us with Villarreal's tiqui taca football. While Javi Martinez improved this week, shook off his knock, and clinched the game winning header for Athletic Club over Levante. This was their second away win for the season.
Goal Scorers: Pedro (Barçelona), Manu de Moral (Getafe): Pedro has continued to impress each week. The canterano is hungry, a fighter, and a threat from the left and the right. His velocity, intelligence, and knack for being in the right place are all part of his coming of age. He was simply terrific against Espanyol. Getafe have now won 4 games in a row. A big part of this is Manu, Geta's captain. He lead the comeback against Alméria, scored and participated in all three goals in the 2-3 thriller.
