[Sport] The Yamiq fortifies Valladolid

[#Steeven.™]

Sergio's three clean sheets have been with him on the field

Real Valladolid is another defensively speaking when Jawad El Yamiq is on the pitch. The Moroccan, whom Pucela signed last summer when everything seemed to indicate that he would end up in Getafe, has confirmed as soon as he has had continuity the sensations that he showed in Zaragoza during the final stretch of the 2019/2020 season.

The year 2021 began complicated for the central, who was out for almost three weeks due to coronavirus and almost another month due to a muscle injury, it is believed, a consequence of the covid and inactivity during the quarantine. Although it was difficult for him to gain Sergio's trust and in his first appearances he made big mistakes, with the passage of the season he has been acquiring a maturity in LaLiga that has translated into solidity for the Castilian defense.

Against those of Arrasate it was one of the best of Real Valladolid and one of the keys for Sergio's men to go to rest without fitting in. Despite Osasuna's dominance, Budimir went unnoticed thanks to the good work of Joaquín and El Yamiq himself. Both seem to understand each other and it is the best possible news for a Valladolid in need of consolidating a couple of guarantees behind the most similar to that of Kiko Olivas and Salisu, who inevitably the team has missed after the injury of the first and the transfer to the Premier of the second. The physical problems of Javi Sánchez and the irregularity of Bruno González have not allowed another reliable alternative to Joaquín and El Yamiq. Hence, the annoyances with which El Yamiq de El Sadar was substituted left worry a lot in the Pucelano environment.

Sergio explained at a press conference that the player requested the substitution for "a blow to the quadriceps." He has to wait to know if he can be against Sevilla, in the first of the eleven finals that Real Valladolid have left to fight to continue among the best
