Liga MX highlighted Anderson Santamaría’s records with Atlas in the 2021 Apertura

Anderson Santamaría became an important element in the Atlas championship after 70 years. The Peruvian defender earned a place in Diego Cocca’s eleven due to his defensive strength and the ‘Rojinegros’ fans admire him for his delivery on the pitch.

On this occasion, the official Liga BBVA MX Twitter account highlighted the records of the central defender. The tournament highlighted that the player scored once, had participation in five goals, recovered 143 balls and won 16 1 vs. one.

“Spectacular tournament for the Peruvian soccer player. He had great interventions to defend his goal and be part of the best defense of the Grita México Apertura 2021 ″, it reads in the description of the publication.

A few days ago, Liga MX had included Anderson Santamaría in the ideal eleven of the tournament. The defender will continue with the ‘Zorros’ for next season and the fans expect him to continue at the same level.

Executive President of Atlas declares Anderson Santamaría non-transferable

José Riestra, executive president of the ‘Rojinegros’, highlighted the importance of the defender in the defensive part. “We just renewed with Anderson Santamaría for four years. We are happy to have him with us until at least 2025. We believe that it will continue to grow here in Mexican soccer”, Explained the Mexican manager in statements to RPP a few weeks ago.

After the great season of the Peruvian, there could be the possibility that another team is interested in him. Riestra made it clear that they are not willing to listen to offers at the moment: “Anderson’s situation is that he is not transferable. We renew because we believe in him, he has a lot to give to the institution and we have not received any offer for him either. Sure if it continues like this, at some point it will arouse interest from another club”.
