If there was anyone to talk about after Chivas' victory against Atlético San Luis, it was Erick Gutiérrez. And the Guadalajara number 15 continues with a great performance after 5 Matchdays of the Clausura 2024. We will now take a closer look at the Red-and-White midfielder's performance in the match against the Potosinos.
Guti' started the duel as the only pivot for the Rebaño and remained there for the entire 90 minutes. One of the things that has stood out the most about the midfielder is his physical level, as he is capable of playing a full match at a high pace in such a demanding area.
Guadalajara's 15 was attentive to block passing lines, which forced Atlético San Luis to play on the outside, which was very positive for the red-and-whites, as both Mateo Chávez and Alan Mozo won many of their defensive duels.
With the ball, he also showed great criteria, as he was able to make many successful deliveries that helped Chivas to progress in ball exits. Guti' has a wide repertoire of shots, which is why he also generated the threat of long deliveries that forced the Potosinos to keep an eye on those far away.
Undoubtedly, Erick Gutiérrez has become a pillar for Guadalajara, as he is not only a player who makes an impact in the area he protects, but is also capable of making his teammates better with his multiple virtues.
Red and White note
- Gutiérrez saved the Rebaño's goal at 83', on a corner kick in favor of the Potosinos, where Rodrigo Dourado rose and headed the ball over the red and white goalkeeper, but a spectacular save by the Sinaloa native sent the ball over the goal line.
