Renato Tapia was chosen the best player of the match at Celta de Vigo vs. Majorca

The absence of Renato Tapia in the starting XI for Celta de Vigo was striking in recent weeks and many fans criticized the decision of Eduardo ‘Chacho’ Coudet, the team’s coach. Finally, this Friday, the DT decided to send the midfielder from the start and had a fruitful response.

The brave Peruvian footballer shone throughout the 90 minutes of the match against Mallorca, for matchday 17 of LaLiga Santander. Although the scoreboard decreed a 0-0 equality, the ‘Cabezón’ stood out in a great way in the middle of the field, both when defending, and also to give a clean start to his teammates.

Due to the impressive display at the Son Moix Stadium, Renato Tapia was chosen as the figure of the duel, which was supported by his records. According to SofaScore statistics, the midfielder made a total of 20 recoveries, won 17 games, made four precise long passes, had five kicks and eight clearances, being the best in each of those aspects.

The Celta de Vigo fans were satisfied with the performance of the Peruvian team, who showed that he is in good physical and football condition to be part of the starting eleven at any time.

How many games does Renato Tapia have this season?

So far in the 2021-22 season, Renato Tapia has a total of 14 games, starting 11 of them. So far, he has accumulated six yellow cards and was already suspended for a match a few weeks ago (he missed the match against Villarreal on date 14).

Precisely, after fulfilling that punishment, Eduardo Coudet decided to leave him as a substitute on two occasions. During the visit to Alavés, the ‘Cabezón’ played the last 35 ′, while against Valencia he was 75 ′ on the court, since he entered emergency in the first half, due to the injury of one of his teammates.
