Chivas got their first win of the Clausura 2024 against an extremely complicated opponent, which they beat 3-2 on Matchday 4. During this match, there were several elements that stood out for their good performance, but one in particular, statistically and football-wise, was vital in obtaining the three points.
Today we will talk about Roberto Alvarado, who has been one of the players with the most minutes so far in the Clausura 2024 and who, in addition, gave a great match against the Diablos Rojos. The 'Piojo' has been a fundamental part of the Rebaño for some time now, so below we will tell you more about his performance in Matchday 4.
- The role he played on the field
Alvarado played as an attacker on the right flank and, as usual, had a lot of freedom to invade central lanes, which worked well for Guadalajara, who managed to destabilize the Escarlatas defense by not having control over 'Piojo'.
On some other occasions, the left-footed player received wide and, with several combinations, managed to reach the front of the box. He also set up Castillo in depth and found the 'Nene' on the back line, thanks to the unmarked runs that were made between the center back and the rival's full back.
- His biggest impact
The most valuable thing about Roberto Alvarado is that he not only serves as a player who wins individual duels, but also contributes in associative work and long distance deliveries. Chivas managed to make progress many times on the flank that 'Piojo' occupied, as with his receptions and first touches he was able to break the pressure of a team that constantly jumped on the ball holder.
Alvarado registered 1 assist in the match. It was 18 seconds into the match when the Rebaño's 25-footer found Fernando Beltrán free, to set the ball in motion and that's how Chivas took the lead.
In addition, 'Piojo' dribbled 2 rivals, made 4 key passes, made 1 cross and completed 3 long passes. Defensively, he also did an outstanding job, winning 6 ground duels, intercepting 1 ball and being fouled 1 time.
Roberto Alvarado's general statistics in the CL24:
